Remember watching Alabama play Dayton and thinking to myself Im glad we don't have Grant because the Alabama offense was very little ball movement and a lot of isolation plays. I guess that's why he was an assistant in the NBA...
Thought we had a good thing going with Archie I think it would have been better to keep the fluidity of what Archie was doing to just hire Kuwik or Ostrom that way there wasn't a huge learning curve for the players and also I think we would have been in a better position to keep the recruits.
Oh well Ill still continue rooting for the flyers.

I don't see how anyone can hate this hire. Of the available options, who was so much clearly better that you hate this move? Ostrom has never been an HC and if you read into articles written about him, and know how he is, he does not seem to ever want to be a HC. Kuwik has been mentioned for small time jobs and didn't get those. If he can't get Dartmouth, I am not sure he is ready for Dayton. The other HC options being named have as many warts as AG. There was no clear choice. So I have no problem going with the safe proven coach over a high risk high reward option that is just as likely to be a bust.
