The premise of this entire article wasn't that Andersen is a bad hire, the premise is that he is clearly not the guy they wanted, and not the type of coach Wisconsin fans expected coming off a string of championships. Jon pointed out, correctly, that finding a coach is more difficult than just having an opening, and pointed out, correctly, that if Iowa fired Ferrets and hired a WAC coach, Iowa fans would meltdown, at least at first.
There you go again, ghost. In a very clear and concise manner, in the midst of 252 responses in this thread, explain exactly what JM's point was in his article. When will you learn that rational thought and logic will get you nowhere on this site? Now if I could only get you to spell Kirk's name correctly...and, yes, I do remember the day Fran was hired. Another good point that will be lost in the shuffle.
