Quite well indeed.
Looking back at this thread one thing that strikes me is the coaching hire grades from the Sporting News - it's interesting to look back at those grades, especially the ones 2 years out now. That 'C' grade for Bobby Petrino at Louisville is looking a little low now. And it's still early, and I acknowledge that he inherited a mess, but I'm still skeptical on Mike Stoops and the 'A' grade they gave him. That being said, he's doing a bang-up job recruiting...
I'll be curious to see the coaching hires grade article this year. I'm getting more acclimated to Ty Willingham's hire at the UW, and while I still think we should've beaten the bushes more in the assistant ranks and smaller schools looking for the next Jeff Tedford/Bob Stoops/Urban Meyer/Bobby Petrino/Mark Richt, I think with the right staff he can be pretty successful at the UW. He's already making a big difference in recruiting (though that wasn't hard to do, given how comatose UW recruiting was this year with Gilby's job in question all season).
