Sounds from the article like he basically chose him.

Describes a series of meetings between he, Jack, and Fr. J. I'm guessing Jack was doing the main vetting and recommending to Fr. J.

And what do you know, he's basically a clone of Jack, down to the law degree from another school and zero experience in an athletic department.
