Does he read and/or post here?

A yes would be awesome. No need for him to get dirty, but an occasional blurb, even an exchange with our resident experts would be really nice. A limited access thread once in a while.

I know Brad very well.  He is a smart guy and still has a soft spot for Springfield.  When he got his last position, I was bashed by some here (or the old metjax forum)for saying he was a nice guy.

Gentlemen..........tis real easy to put someone in the saddle, time will tell just where his focus is at! I am trying to keep an open mind, but can not lie......I have reservations! So I guess I should say..........."show me the money" to quote from a popular film! Hopefully he has a vision as well as the expertise to turn JTA around from the pitiful path they currently trod!

maybe he can get in there and turn things around! Good luck Brad.
