I liked Keatts more than breaking the bank on Marshall. I like that even more given what has transpired over the last 10 months. I also prefer Keatts’ style of play.
I like Marshall as a coach. I just like him more when we hired Sid (as opposed to Sid) than if we’d have made him one of the highest paid coaches in the game this past offseason. I also think that to hire Marshall at this point is trying to out Bennett UVA. I’m not sure that is a wise path. Better to out talent them, spread them out, speed them up.
I miss some of the mods that left. Hopefully they are on a break as opposed to permanently done. I was upset it wasn’t Archie, but it clearly wasn’t what he wanted and he had signaled that early. That is why we moved so aggressively. I was fine with it that. Yow got burned once by waiting around, and if we hadn’t have moved, Keatts would have been at Illinois.
