We are in need of someone to take over the maintenance of the MMB. Yosef has done it for a long time, and we are grateful for all he has done, but life happens and he no longer has the time to devote to its upkeep. If anyone here is interested in helping to keep the board running, please let me know via DM.

Ok I will ask. How is this much different than Clark? This potential hire seems like a big risk vs hiring someone that has had HC experience at the FBS level.
Clark proved he couldn’t move the needle. New guy hasn’t. Difference.
I still haven't read a reason on here why smith would be worth the risk given his lack of head coaching experience.
There are reasons given in the video clip that starts the thread.
Just saw this but looks like it's a moot point now. I am glad DG went the route he did.

It is but I was not happy when I first heard who it was. HOWEVER, after the press conference I'm much more impressed and feel better about the situation. His connections, experience, and how it sounds he will attack the portal situation have put my concerns at ease. I do hope to have a little excitement in the rest of the staff hires however.

If Loggains keeps Sloan or Ponce, we’re going to need to establish some emergency grief counseling services because YC peeps gonna lose their minds.
