Chasse Conque
I met him officially this morning. I had met him quickly at a baseball game, but not really talked to him. I told him today that I had not supported his hiring in the beginning, and that it was nothing personal, but that I thought that he was too young and inexperienced, but that I had been wrong, and that I loved everything he has done since, and I am totally in his corner. He told me that he didn't take it personally that I hadn't supported his hiring. I now believe that it was a GREAT hiring. I believe he's going to be a GREAT AD. Let's go Trojans.

Takes a big man to admit he was wrong. We'll see if I'm up to it, when we go to the NCAA tournament next Spring. I told you Chasse would be a great hire. I went a little bit out on a limb, since I really didn't know him, but folks I really trusted were extremely high on him. The whole atmosphere at the Athletic Department has taken a 180 degree turn. It doesn't guarantee winning big, but it sure can't hurt to have everyone in the department excited, working together on the same goals, and looking forward to the future. I'm still quite pessimistic about LR as a sports town, but I think Chasse's enthusiasm and marketing will put some more butts in the seats. If Coach Beard can win "big" maybe we can start to see the type crowds we have all been wishing for.

I'm impressed with him. I like that he's young and enthusiastic and isn't worried about shaking things up.
