Creech spoke about the process in hiring the new coach and said that they kept an open mind during the search, but in the end Harasymiak was the unanimous decision. Jack Cosgrove was also said to be a crucial resource for Creech and the rest of the committee to ultimately decide on Joe as the new head man. Creech said that Harasymiak’s age also gave him an advantage in the search process.
