I think there's probably something to that. Optimists and pessimists will usually have opposing reactions to a hire, but by a week in the energy and excitement and newness of the "new" hire sort of tends to buoy everyone along.

I'm already more optimistic about the hire than I was when it was announced, though I still have doubts. As I said before, speaking for me personally I think it was the shock of Malone (who had never been seriously discussed as a candidate on IC) that made it seem like a desperation hire.

If the press conference is to be believed Newmark had to sell Malone for over a week and 5 hours on Sunday after Malone had repeatedly said no.

Certainly the folks who have been very angsty about losing the "family" aspect of the program should be more at ease. Saying all the right things in the presser doesn't mean there won't be problems down the road but everything about Malone (including that interview from this past October) suggests that his respect for the program and tradition is genuine. (Now we'll see what happens when his daughter graduates and the NBA comes calling, lol).

Sounds like a modern blended family to me!

Definitely think some of the guys in the portal stay if he wants them to do so (and we pay fmv)
