Your AD and president are better than ours.
jarmond yes but Dan G wasn't. I think Dan lucked into it.
During the FF there was a story where Bob Myers went into more detail on what happened and he said some of the names that were floated were real, some were not but he said at a certain point we honed in on guys who REALLY wanted the job and he said it was apparent on that list, Mick Cronin was the guy so we focused on him.
UA is in a similar position, pressure from ex players to hire a black coach, who's an ex player. Pressure from alums to get a "big name" etc
I think UCLA got lucky that through the whole thing Mick still wanted the job.
I don't know enough about Lloyd to know if he does or not the concern on him is career assistants some of them are great, Roy Williams, some of them are not great, Bill Guthridge. You just never know until they get the job.
I actually sort of liked UA with Miller the last few years the FBI story was hampering recruiting and the lack of commitment was too. If you get the right hire in there you can be back on track fairly soon assuming sanctions are not too bad.
