Strangely enough, the Kill hiring process could--if not now, but somewhere down the line--look like it was perfectly executed. I, for one, don't believe now this was luck or a "fall back choice". As I said earlier, this choice appears to have been made by the Iowa game, if not before. In my theory, Bruinicks (and maybe Kaler) gave the choice a green light and lame-duck Maturi "fell on his sword" for them, process-wise. Yeah, there have been plenty of examples of the AD's "bumbling," but our own expectations may have tainted our review this process as well--it may have been the plan all along. Why did they hire Dave Mona? PR or misdirection?
