When they were hired, who'd have thought that Kirk would be the good hire?

I've noticed that, too. Glen Worley was a classic example. Great freshman who looked like he'd be all conference by the time he was a junior. By the time his senior year came along, he looked like a decent freshman.
I remember the hirings, too. They jumped at Alford because the impression across the state was he'd lost out on Stoops and had to settle for Ferentz. Not so incidentally, Ferentz' strength has been developing players over their time with him. Alford's weakness has been player development and retention.
