Should we bring back O\'LEARY?
This is something that your initial reaction is a BIG NO, but it is not that simple.
To be honest I am more worried about the program than I am O'Leary. If we had a candidate that I could realistically place my confidence in then I would not be posting this.
Pros
1. We would probably get a HUMBLE O'Leary and that is probably better than anybody else that has been mentioned
2. O'Leary can flat RECRUIT and hopefully we would improve on this year
3. To be honest, we know what we are getting and there is some value to that
4. GT would have the opportunity to give something back to a man that has given a LOT to GT
(GT spurned this man when they hired B____ Le____ and yet O'Leary came back to GT)
Cons
1. GT would take more of a PR hit than it already has
2. GT is an academic institution and to commit a fraud relating to academic qualifications is a VERY SERIOUS act
3. There is a possibility that one of these UNPROVEN candidates could take us to the next level.
These are just some of the Pros and Cons, but it is something I think we have to consider given the way the hiring process has gone so far.
