re: What happened to “this wouldn’t happen if it wasn’t planned”?

I never bought into all the "someone is ready to step in, this was planned" bs...aggy already tried to use that and look where it got them.

My honest feeling is Bama truly didn't expect all of their top 3 to turn them down. The best thing to do is swallow your pride and hire Joey Freshwater. Of course the going from being fired the last time he was employed there to multimillion dollar head coach would give him the ultimate win...but sometimes you just gotta do the right thing. Facts are this: All of your other top candidates are already at destination jobs, and Phil Knight makes Oregon one of those as well. Just stop dicking around and hop on the Lane train.
