Purple - Why don't you call the school and ask for a lunch with McCaw? I think you would change your opinion and understand the idea that not everything you read is accurate and/or tells the whole story.
I asked for a meeting and had lunch with him a few weeks ago, and I'm now certain Liberty is in good hands and will one day look back at this hire as one of the best decisions that the school has made, in the athletic world.
Yes. I know you can't believe everything you read. It's obvious you don't because Ive typed that several times.
You weren't exactly skeptical going in. You were his biggest cheerleader on this board. So he really didn't have to prove anything to you
You also assume that I don't think he's a good AD. I think his track record shows he is good at getting things built. I'm positive he is very good at 'shaking hands and kissing babies'. This is a good hire for both parties. He gets a chance to rebab his image LU gets an overqualified AD. Since LU obviously does not care about PR it's irrelevant whether the investigation at Baylor turns up anything or not. Either way the narrative will be 'Second Chances'. In fact, LU fans should HOPE the investigation turns up something. That way it would be assured no one else would hire him and LU can have his talents for years!
LU swung for the fences with this hire. It's obvious the thought process is The ends justify the means. That's fine. It's not how I would do things but I'm not in charge
