There is no telling what Hackett may do. Even he doesn't know:
1. He's busy considering whether he'll get the AD job, which he clearly wants but is not qualified for. Wants to make Schlissel happy. And Schlissel is probably just fine with Hoke returning.
2. He keeps making weird comments about a "deliberative process", and stuff like this:
"In a leadership sense, you wait for the moment when you're really going to (go through the evaluation). It's almost like a solemn ceremony. And that's out of a deep respect for him and a deep respect for the process that you go through to make a decision like that."
"Process"?? Look at the weekly box scores, JH. Done. "Solemn ceremony"? Needless. The K payout is quite enough.
3. As of post-game Sat. Hoke said as far as he knew he was returning and no date for/discussion or a review. How is that possible? And now he's recruiting.
Wow. I realize he's new and can't come out and say Hoke is done but that was ridicuous. A lot about his own past corporate world success - who gives a rip unless it translates to something useful here? It's a bad sign that he has to tell us about how great he was. No acknowledgement at all of the current crisis. Re Hoke: "I'm really proud of where he [Hoke] is in right now . . . that's what defines great coaches [character]." What? Does he not grasp that Hoke bears responsibility for this debacle - that it's on him? Not once did he use the word "win" to descibe something he is interested in. I'm afraid Hackett is on the same page as Schlissel - well intentioned but largely clueless.
