I am. I'm friends with O'Day's son, who gets lots of contact with the players, and he says the players absolutely love him. Marc Mariani said he was the best coach he's ever had. Also, thirteen years of being recruiting coordinator at various Pac-10 schools should bode extremely well. I think he's the right choice.

Plus he started coaching at Montana under the legend, Don Read... and actually also has interviewed twice for the job before... seems like a very logical, yet exciting choice for the Griz...

From what I'm reading, it looks like a very good decision. Of course, with a name like Pfluhgrad, or whatever, will make for some interesting headlines for a 'punsters' out there..xsmiley_wix
