A homerun hire is a coach with an excellent recruiting resume and a good coach. Notre Dame lost it's best recruiter in Chip Long. They have to replace his accomplishments in recruiting. McNulty doesn't show any recruiting chops in his resumé and I am not sure Mickens does either, although the latter has a lot of potential. So, although Don Miller's optimism is nice, I agree that it is a stretch to call it a homerune hire.
