Maybe I'm the only one, but it seemed that Schultz's tone was somewhat puzzled as to why it had turned out this way, just like we are all scratching our heads by this point.
With respect to PJ, he's dissing him as much or more than us as he wonders why GT would not clearly be the more attractive option.
It seems clear to me now that this search has been nothing like it was envisioned by DRad. It is seeming more and more like he had his candidate clearly in mind, and could not get buy-in from the big money alums, the same ones who don't come to games, and don't cheer for their team.
If anyone is to blame for this, I'm guessing it is our meddling alumni base at this point.
