Not only did we hire a really good coach but we got the great fit we completely swung and missed on 2 years ago. Wes knows and respects what it means to be a Bearcat. He’s one of us. I’ll always go to the mat for a coach that will do the same for the players and the program.

I think MIck Juzang-Cronin came out in suupport of WM because he wants to be on the right side of history. I think the one interesting thing with WM is he's from a back round with enough wealth he can kind of pick and choose what he does and not worry about the money. Hopefully he takes to the area, and we have him for a while as I think if given the time he can get us to a better level. I can kind of see why he would want to step out of the ACC den, and setup somewhere else as he seems very independent and not necessarily wanting to do his career under the same scenario he came up with as a player. Probably not a surprise when you played at NC and the WF arena is named after your family. I wondered why he didn't get the WF job, but when you would be coaching in the arena with you family name i could see the stress. Not sure if this article will access.

Good article on the WF job:

I think thats exactly why Steve Alford never coached at Indiana. Legend as a player and if things don't go the way they want, they lose that mystique about them. Tony Yates probably realized when it was too late. He lost his Mystique as the ' Coach on the floor' of 2 national championships.
