Folks, this is one reason we need to rally around J.C.   He wants to win, and build at Ohio.  He does not want to use Ohio as a stepping stone.  He understands that you can win big here, without  selling your soul to the devil.  If you can evaluate talent, and find kids that can succeed at this level, and then recruit them....you have a head start !   Once you get them here, then you have to help them improve !  At this level, you either get better, or you fall behind, so you have to be able to coach the kids that you get !!!  He has proven that he can do the above.  Plus, he can practice coach, and game coach !  We have a chance to build the program in the direction that Danny saw for us.  Not just a MAC contender, but a program that could dominate the MAC, and have a great chance to DANCE, EVERY YEAR.    That is what J.C. sees for Ohio.  We need to jump on the bus, and help him get there. !  


Another +1 in the general thrust of these remark.  I do have a few reservations about JC, but I'm willing to suspend judgement and wait and see how he does once he gets his own guys.  I do believe that if he's successful, even beyond our wildest imagination, that he will stay.  In that sense, I think he was a potential Frank-type hire.  What we are waiting to find out is if he can build a program like Frank.  Here's hoping that the can.
