Nice of you guys to rehash the day of the hiring and all but let's cut to the chase. Now in year 5 do you think it was the right hire? I mean, what if Gillespie would have been the guy instead. I have a buddy who was sure that was the best choice.
It may have been a gamble, but this thread shows that sometimes as fans, we jump to conclusions and often times it appears we are using this:
It'll make me think twice before just assuming the worst immediately.
I didn't want Gillespie, although it intrigued me as "maybe worth the risk." Something seemed like a bad fit or a wrong direction.
I did, however, want to try Kruger. Many others probably agreed at the time — and his name is Chris Williams.

The Hoiberg hire, I did not see coming. Not sure how I reacted on any CF threads that day, but within about 24 hours, I liked the idea. Figured it'd take a couple seasons to build up to tournament level, but I assumed it'd at least be fun to watch in the process ... having a 3-season tourney stretch including Sweet 16, followed by today's preseason hype, I might have guessed would require 8 years.

We had a few all on the same topic. The actual hiring brought stronger reactions, and so did the news that McDermott might go to Creighton.
It was a pretty tense time around the ole basketball forum.
What I meant to say was, "Hoiberg take the wheel."
(haha! Thanks for digging that up)
Ya I don't get the whole "huge gamble" thing. When all you have to lose is Justin Hamilton no bet is a huge gamble.
Says the guy who has basically been wrong the vast majority of the time about the football team this year.
