Quote:Everyone knows that had Caldwell hired Roman, TMD would have been the very first one to say that he ONLY hired him because they are close friends.

 

Not necessarily. Depends on the circumstances. If Caldwell would have hired Roman after doing a "Gene Smith level head coach search" the year he hired -his- buddy Mularkey, then yes, I would have....

 

However, Had Caldwell done extensive due diligence and brought in say 6 or more really top notch head coach candidates and then at the end of the process, (which should include 2nd interviews for the finalists) chooses Roman over the others, then no, I would not have made that criticism.
