If LT were in charge of this search, and had kept it as secret as Byrne has and allowed it draw out this long (if 9 days is really that long), the Sixpack would be ready to hang LT up by the nutsack.
LT would be getting roasted like crazy on here. And he would deserve it. After hiring Croom and doing many other crappy things over the years, everyone would have full rights to blast him and be nervous about what his next hire would be able to do for our program.
Byrne is getting a pass because so far he has done a good job at exceeding our expectations.
