I’ll be happy to give you credit for not being an idiot.
When evaluating people doing their jobs, two key questions are (1) was it within their control, and (2) was there a direct cause-and-effect. Can't connect those dots between Heird, Satterfield, and Brohm...
Hiring Pitino wasn't quite as easy as you describe. Jurich may have made it look that way...
When evaluating people who are evaluating people doing their jobs, two key questions are (1) are they close enough to a situation to comment intelligently, and (2) is there an agenda that would cause them to not look at a situation objectively. Can definitely connect those dots between you and your subjective analysis.
A fair amount in certain areas as evidenced by the renewed excitement that is accompanying a 7-1 record and #15 ranking in FB.
You already gave Heird credit for Brohm. Name another since he brings so much good luck his way as a top performer...
Round and round we go. We all agree Jurich had a vision to get Louisville in a power conference he sold that vision. Here we are.
Now what? It is a different mission. Is it to get in the SEC or Big Ten? I think the biggest challenge is NIL. Too early to tell how the administration is truly doing in that regard.
We all know the basketball program is a problem that is going to have to be addressed. The speed of which it is addressed is totally dependent on Payne and staff.
Those two things will determine the AD’s future.

I didn't measure the ease of the hire in my post. I merely pointed out some of the luck that was involved. I will politely request you steer your straw man argument to somewhere else.
I threw up a little in my mouth once I remembered Ron Cooper, but he did bring and keep Redman back to the ville after committing to Illinois and OK
How many times do we have to say it, Jurich was awesome, but he's gone, gone, gone.... Never coming back and move on please. I know it's hopeless judging by your avatar...
This smells like one of your trips around the mulberry bush where I say something / anything and you disagree for the sake of being disagreeable.
Thanks for the offer but, I’m going to politely decline.
I think the retention of good coaches deserves recognition. Jeff Walz, Dan McDonnald, Dani Busboom Kelly.
It's early, and they weren't going anywhere you know of.
Not to mention, Heird's seen as an improvement--at least by Walz--compared to the doofus who preceded him...
I wasn't the guy resting on the premise of good luck following good performance. Just asking for examples in this instance...
Really? Rumors have swirled around all three of these the past few years.
They love their job, they are good enough to do that job anywhere. The chose to stay. Yes, all of them have had opportunities since Jurich left. They stayed.
The reality is the athletic department actual on field performance is good except in its most important sport. That matters and that has to be fixed. At this moment it has been a terrible hire. It is a fair to be critical. All this other whining is stupid.

Wait, I thought Walz had one foot out the door. After all he’s hired an agent, right? Wasn’t CDM about to bolt because he didn’t get the facility improvements he wanted? You were banging on about this a while back, and now they weren’t going anywhere.
UofL finished the 2023-24 campaign with 13 different sport programs ranked in the top 25 at one point during their seasons, with seven programs ranking in the top 10 at some of its respective seasons.
Louisville’s 3.28 overall department grade point average was the highest in the program’s history. UofL’s 92% Graduation Success Rate is also tied for the highest in program history. The Cardinals have achieved 25 consecutive semesters with a department GPA of 3.0 or higher.

That's probably a typo but that is what was written in the article. However the article info is for 2022-2023.
More from 2022-2023 in review.
Louisville finished 32nd in the nation in the Learfield Directors’ Cup standings, the 13th consecutive season that the Cardinals have finished among the top 40 teams in the country. The Cardinals’ women’s sports programs ranked 12th in the nation in the Capital One Cup standings.

All that demonstrates is how much they want to stay in Louisville.
Due to Josh Heird? LOL...
Odd how that manifests itself in consistent financial problems.
Win and they will come...
Many sports at Louisville have successful seasons/programs inspite of the financial problems. The university having a lower net position does not mean that the sports teams are not getting the financial aid to continue to be successful.

I've been told by too many optimists that winning will cure our money problems. It's generally the same people who think that it doesn't matter who's running athletics.
And losing money anywhere but the federal government is not a sustainable business model...

Yep - just as suspected, the ole zipper has disingenuously taken several of you for a trip around his favorite mulberry bush.
He’s not interested in answers / information - as evidenced by his rejection out of hand of the well thought out posts several of you made in response to his “question” about Heird.
His only interest is in being a contrarian.

Sure Satt lost again but the real loser every time Satt loses is Josh Heird….or something like that
Golly gee, son of a biscuit, and horse feathers…Scotty is mad.
You’d get your mouth washed out with soap if you talked like that in Boone, NC.
