Speaking to the serious posters on this board and ignoring the others: This is the most consequential hire our program has probably ever made. That sounds drastic, but it's the truth. Hard disagree. Schmidt is still the very definition of consequential hires. If they make the wrong coaching hire in 2007 none of this matters. If the Franciscans didn't come from Italy in 1858 to start the school, none of this would have mattered either. Taking this further, if the big bang didn't happen none of this would have mattered, of course if the big bang didn't happen nothing would have happened.

Attached is Sam Wilson's OTH article "AD goes deep with Woj hire." - AD Bob Beretta and Woj are “two are old friends.” The connection was Mike Vaccaro. — Discussions of GM for the basketball team occurred prior to Beretta being hired by Bona. — Beretta speaking with Woj about the position “he called me back, and he said, ‘Bob, tell me if you think I’m crazy here, but I think I’d be really interested in that position.’ And I said, well, I’m not gonna call you crazy, I think you’d be a fantastic fit. Your financial advisor might call you crazy.” — “While terms of Wojnarowski’s compensation from SBU are not public, it’s safe to say he’s taking a big pay cut to come to his alma mater. With three years (and reportedly $20 million) left on a contract. But it speaks to the loyalty many Bona grads feel. www.oleantimesherald.com/sports/ad-goes-deep-on-woj-hire-bona-gm-jump/article_441f83f8-76db-11ef-a59e-3f0da70f166f.html----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A good source shared with me "Woj will be tapping into foreign ball players to begin with - Noah may have been the 1st one."

Someone has an opinion, I disagree with said opinion and I get snark. Ok smart guy, when they were discussing dropping down to DII, would it have been more or less difficult to convince them to stay in Division I with Solomon’s record or with Schmidt’s?
