per Chip:
Kaler deserves credit here. The embattled president has been in the news for all the wrong reasons lately. I’ve been as critical as anyone of this search process.
Ultimately, Kaler nailed it. This was his call, his choice, and he seems to have made a smart, savvy hire.
Kaler’s 16-member internal search committee never made sense to me. It felt unnecessary. Many of us mocked the use of a national search firm, but Turnkey delivered, too.
Coyle’s name wasn’t leaked in any media reports before Wednesday’s announcement. Turnkey promised confidentiality and sent warnings to potential candidates about news leaks. Coyle’s emergence was a surprise.
Kaler needed a hire like this to calm the waters, to give fans and boosters reason to feel good again and believe in the direction and future of Gophers athletics.
This hire should create optimism.
