At the risk of alienating the White Fan Club, let's not get carried away. White hired Heupel, and he's been good and we all hope he and the program stays good, but we've had other football coaches who've started well and then faded. That, so far, is a huge plus, yes--but it's not like White plucked him out of obscurity; he was under his nose. All the other athletic success we've had recently as been due to coaches not hired by White. Not that other programs really matter, apparently. Football is the be-all, end-all. Matt Kredich has won two SEC swimming titles with the women--top 10 with the men--one of the best and most well-respected swimming coaches in the country. White just extended Kredich and gave him an absolutely insulting $10,000 pay raise. Hell, you go 6-6 in football and you get a raise of a few million dollars. He extended Harper, women's basketball, and she's accomplished little. He made what is looking like a questionable soccer hire.
John Currie? You mean the guy who hired Vitello?
