re: Coach DeBoer is light years ahead of hiring Ray Perkins.

Another factor with Perkins was also that he was the athletic director. Back in the day when the head football coach often was the athletic director. If you could go back in time and have Greg Byrne be the AD at the end of Bryant's career, Ray Perkins may not have even gotten an interview. It was such a different era. It's part of why we suffered with Hayden Riley as the head basketball coach and the head baseball coach.
