JFC, Currie tries so damn hard with these out of the box hires. I never thought of him, I'm not sure who did. I don't think it's ever a good look to hire a coach from a major conference that isn't playing in the postseason. I'm going to assume that Jody Adams said no, although I have no idea why she would.
The in conference hire is interesting, whomever TCU hires better not kick our ass. If TCU hires Jody Adams and she beats us I'd encourage everyone to do something drastic.
I don't get what Currie is doing with his hiring. At the time of hire Weber and Mittie were both relatively high risk and low reward but the floor for these guys aren't very low either, it's like trying very hard to accomplish meh.
