Let me be real guys, I am NOT in favor of this hire for multiple reasons. I have made that somewhat clear. No reason for me to "make up" something I actually hope doesnt happen
I haven't read through to see who all replied to this already, but yes and no, depending on the coverage this gets during the game. If it's all negative, it won't really help. I don't think it will really hurt either, though. However, if it's mostly positive, it's going to get talked about a lot. Either way, it's a big, controversial hire, and his past aside, all exposure is good exposure in this case.
