I'm skeptical of the hire. I preferred Marshall, Frank or some mid-major with a proven success record, like Pearl had. He did very well with Missouri State and Keady always had fairly solid teams. However, I also thought Keady's teams underachieved and he was never able to break through.
So, I'm not as thrilled as I was when Pearl was hired and this seems like a safe pick. However, I'll give him the Dooley Treatment and wait to see what I can about the guy. I have liked Dooley thus far, so maybe we'll get the same from Martin.
