The question regarding this situation really shouldn’t be “was this a good hire or not?” The question should be “was the process used to make the hire a good process or not?” From the outside looking in, it doesn’t appear that it was. And that is what is the most disconcerting about this whole thing – if the administration can’t be taken at its clear and unambiguous word that it won’t hire an internal candidate, then what in the world can it be taken at?
