I was one who had doubts about the hire, but she killed it. It's tough to change culture.

This is how you change a culture. Recruit great kids who are good players. Do not limit recruiting to your comfort zone (Chill or Cheetahs or Bandits).
See former Illini Coach and do the opposite.

She is pretty heavy on the Cheetahs, but you have to get the talent that will come.

What does that have to do with anything?

Coaches, and ADs, don’t care where you get players from - so long as they perform.

Nice try at inserting an * on her results, but if anything you’ve just proven that’s she has either (a) a great eye for talent or (b) others are sleeping on the Cheetahs.

Wow, you're a sensitive fella.

Culture post above stated don't limit you're recruiting to name programs, was just pointing out that she's been able to capture a lot talent from the Cheetah's which is great for the program.

Saw the same thing and couldn't help but immediately think about the "disaster of a hire" that so many on this board were discussing at the time.

You can't ask for better progress than that in year one, and good for her to toot her own horn!

The future is bright... great job, Coach Coronado!
