This is the man who has been charged with the task of leading this ragtag group to the promise land. Yet, he remains shrouded, sheathed, and showered in mystery. Have we stumbled upon the Red Auerbach of this generation, or the John Kuester? Well, Kuester never had a nickname as awesome as Destroyer, so there you go.
What we know:
He is a learned man. Loyer was a student of Akron's elite Social Studies program. He is thought to have memorized upwards of 50 world capitals.
He is a wild man. He was involved in the excess of the Bob Huggins Cincinnati years. He was suspended and fired, with 22 charges levied against him. 19 of those were later overturned, no doubt through nefarious means.
He is a world class coach. He held the reigns of the storied Wabash Valley College Warriors basketball team. A team that has turned out such talents as Tony Allen and DaJuan Wiley.
