MU actually went after a guy that all the fans wanted in Painter. So Haith was simply a fall-back position after the jilting. But our situation is more insidious than any other I can think of. Not only were there tons of more qualified candidates out there that should have been contacted, but our AD didn't even give the time of day to a potential grand slam hire in Gottlieb who began to openly campaign for the job and impressed the hell out of everyone who heard him. But no, Currie was in such a goddamn hurry to hire a douchenozzle coach before SMU snatched him up. You just can't make this crap up.
