The bar is as low as it can go, no doubt! Which for a young coach looking for opportunity, makes the gig all the more attractive. Will be fun to see this get built from the ground up.
At the risk of sounding like a broken record: Leave the program in a better condition than which you found it. This guy will do that, he looks like a great hire.
Regarding what matters most, this is a young man's reputation we are talking about here, let's all be mindful of that. On a football level, I'm more okay with this than I thought I would be given what we saw out of Smith.
