In response to Columbia 37P6
Engles seemed like a low cost obvious choice as a former Columbia assistant and the a supposed miracle worker at NJIT, where he went to Ann Arbor and beat Michigan. So we did not undertake a real search but did what we did with the ill fated Mangurian hire—we took the path of least resistance and shortcutted the process. It took a near death experience, a player revolt, an alumni explosion, and heated editorials in Spec -plus the famous fly over at Baker Field, before we were able to convince a sclerotic administration to cut its losses and spend some real money on the program. I’m afraid we have too many “Big Hat No Cattle” basketball alumni who will not step up and demand change.
