    In response to Full Bear

I'm inclined to agree with Full Bear.

Brown does not have the tradition of Penn or Princeton. They are not Harvard -- the current Team To Beat. They did not have Cornell's Sweet 16 run. The Bears really could have used a Big Splash Hire (relatively speaking) to excite recruits, students and alums.

And considering Brown is primed for a big leap forward based on returning talent alone (not to mention graduation losses to other teams), this was a real golden opportunity to do that. But Hayes either failed or neglected to take advantage. Instead he ended up with a coach he could have gotten even in less-than-ideal circumstances.

If Hayes thinks Martin is a genius, a wunderkind, a future star coach...then it's a great choice. Otherwise I'd want to see a more experienced or higher-profile candidate get the nod.
