You make some good points Doug. I first heard of Pedon as a candidate possibility a couple weeks ago. Perhaps the search firm did not officially reach out until the last week. I'm curious what other candidate(s) you had your heart set on and why ? Love to hear your thoughts as always, Doug.It does feel incredibly strange to me. Perhaps it leaked somehow which then forced the official announcement to be made and if this is the case, while still disappointing, I can understand why. Otherwise, the timing is not good and would have been much better for many reasons to be on Monday (after MVC tournament, less to compete with on news cycle where this will get buried slightly, etc)
It does feel a little interesting to me that the first communication (if this report is accurate) with Ryan was on Monday and the entire interviewing and vetting out process happened this quickly. He will have my support and I do know a few people that I'm close with that think extremely highly of him. Admittedly, I am simultaneously feeling a sense of disappointment for other reasons.
My sense is that Ryan was assertive, fully prepared to be aggressive with this opportunity and it was him that "closed the deal" on Kyle and what if any other committee was involved with the search process. I trust he was impressive and professional and based on what I have heard from the few close to me that know him well, he sounds like a really good coach that will bring us success.
