I can't disagree with giving a coach a chance. I can disagree with giving a coach a chance that had zero success at his previous school including a winless second year which, if I'm not mistaken, included the school dropping is MS program. If I recall correctly his time at Ezell was not even mentioned in the press release when he was hired at Antioch.
As for clean programs in metro, who has them? I'd be interested to hear some thoughts on this.
