It'll prolly go like, "Well, they wanted me to pay off players when I was there. When I wouldn't play ball, they tried to hire Petrino, but I snuffed out Jetgate by going undefeated. Then I had to deal with Alabama hiring Nick Saban and blowing up on the recruiting trail. Bobby Lowder came in my office and said, 'Tommy, we are gonna have to start paying the kids off to keep up.' And I told him, 'I'm not going to be a part of any of that.' He replied back, 'Well, then I'll take up your resignation, and to keep this matter hush-hush, you'll get your buy-out.'
