[quote=Anonymous]Along with all the regular challenges of the job (raising money, managing faculty and coaches, satisfying parents, etc.) there's another thing that I think is critical to the school. Because his predecessor was from this area, he would have been aware of the potential schism between the Landon Old Guard and the new set of parents. Retaining the support of the alumni (The Lax Bro, tough guy, athletics-focused crowd) while appealing to the new gentler and kinder group was no easy task. As a local and a Gonzaga grad, O'Neill would have been aware of the school's reputation and the need to move away from it. Will someone not from here grasp that and be able to navigate between the two as well?[/quote]
