I like the hire. Other than the alum I was hoping it was Hill.

Nice. Not some ex-head coach retread. Young and hungry and was under the tutelage over a HC that has won everywhere he went; K-State, Florida, UNLV, and OU. Lon's winning has to have rubbed off on HC Lew Hill.

I am pleased as well. He will work a proven plan, though Coach Hill will tweak it. He should have every confidence coming in this week. We actually have great prospects to get the program going better and Coach Hill will direct the ship with enthusiasm and purpose. Hitting the recruiting trail asap and assembling a staff are obviously top priorities. 3 or 4 starter types or at least immediate contributors transfers / recruits are my hope even at this late stage for Coach Hill. Can't wait... a new day for V Nation !!

I just saw the video presser on the UTRGV official athletics website and it was emotional for me. Wow !! I have been a true fan with my brothers for 40 + years even years before Coach Krueger was here. We got the right man for the job and I am excited and know we are definitely moving up.... way up. V's up !!!

The more I was looking into him when he was hired the more exited I'm feeling about where he can take us. In the press conference you could already tell that he is one of those people that everybody likes. I know his first year is going to be tough, but even 1 game over .500 in the first year would be HUGE. I think it helps that Hipsher was actually a pretty good recruiter and brought in some good players but couldn't coach. So he get's all those players in a new system.
From what King said that Coach Kruger called and said how he could help. I'm amazed that he is still invested in utrgv. That's pretty cool to hear.

Yea Kruger shot up several notches in my book for sure ! Coach Hill said he has 4 scholarships available. I thought I saw player William Brooks sitting with the team at presser. If he is coming back that would be good. Yea existing players got some basic skills and now they can build off of that to more confident production hopefully. Agreed Coach Hill did exude alot of endearing qualities. Alot to like there.
