Sure, the hire of Kill is terrible and we should rip everything he's ever done, but on the plus side, at least he has some experience in the MAC. Imagine if Maturi had hired a head coach from a lower division school - say Youngstown State. That would prove the U has no interest in a winning football program, just like Ohio State. Not saying Kill will ever be a Tressel, but I bet the fans there said the same things about Tressel that we're saying about Kill. No proof he can win on this level. No proof he can recruit on this level. Why the hell didn't we hire Mason? etc.
The good news is that there's no need to rush to judgment on Kill. You can't sell your tickets because you don't have any left. You can't not renew your tickets because no one is asking you to right now. You can't refuse to go to a game because there's no game to go to. Why not sit back, watch things play out, get to know the guy, see how he recruits, see how the team responds, see how the team looks in the Spring game, let the negative emotions subside... Maybe the guy will really work out, maybe he'll fail, but running around making all sorts of baseless, negative predictions about the future shows an emotional, not thoughtful, reaction.
