I've been a Chryst apologist up until that game. When a defense starts the game allowing you to gain 5-10 yards on every first down by throwing a quick pass, you f'ing take it.
Question, Drew...who? Would you be OK with Jim Leonhard?
I think Jim Leonhard would be a fine choice. I am partial to Lance Leipold at Kansas. He's from Wisconsin, coached at UW as a grad assistant, and took UW-Whitewater to multiple national titles. He seems to me like a perfect compromise candidate. He's outside of the "Wisconsin family" but not too outside since he's from there and coached there, albeit a long time ago.
The recruiting department always seemed like an afterthought for a long time and while I don't think Saeed Khalif was some sort of recruiting genius (although he was/is good at his job) the fact that Chryst left the position open for so long is a dereliction of duty and a supreme loser mentality.

Spot on about recruiting. It really came to light when several staff members bolted to MSU
