I think he went into it with a fairly open mind. Not completely open, because everybody has a few guys that they prefer over others (like Bob Chesney for me). But I think he was perfectly willing to let the process play out and make a decision after the interviews were conducted. And like Scoop said in this thread, there was some steering towards Young from some folks with influence. FWIW, the worst, most ineffective AD in history at running a process for an ACC head basketball coaching job was probably the Greenberg to JJ transition. Or at Wake Forest, where the old AD (forget his name) just hired his golf buddy (Jeff Bzdelik) who had gone 36-58 at Colorado.
