It seems to me that the Marshall community has the best group of leaders since I started following in 98. Steve Williams, Mark Hamrick, Doc Holliday, Gary White, and so far as I can tell Dantoni and on paper Gilbert. All have been able to execute in their roles. The governor is a MU grad, as are several other influential state leaders.
Night and day difference compared to Angel, Jean Dean/Fellington, and of course Marcum.
