I Like The Hire!

I've seen a LOT of people already saying that "this is the beginning of the end" but I like the hire. I just looked up some more info on coach Martin and I found this... it's from USA Today's article on the hire...
Tennessee hires Cuonzo Martin as new basketball coach - Campus Rivalry: College Football & Basketball News, Recruiting, Game Picks, and More - USATODAY.com

Martin, 39, was named the Missouri Valley's coach of the year and was a finalist for two national coach of the year awards.

We stole Cuonzo Martin from underneath the noses of Missouri and Purdue. Great hire.

Martin is a great recruiter and an intense coach.

We are staring a gift horse in the mouth folks.

It's always 50/50, whether it was LF, Mooney or whomever, unless it's a top 4-5 coach. But those talking about recruiting issues? Please. UT instantly picked up street cred with recruits by hiring him.

The more I've read the more I like what I see. I think he's gonna prove to be a very good hire.
