Not what I mean why was the hire a done deal by now? Something is telling me the AD struck out to get any of the better head coaches. Just got to go cheap? That is what I mean! No more cheap and roll the dice!

I also think great opportunity also lies in the job provided the next guy is the right fit.

Now who can argue with that? I think we're all indebted to Lefty for clearly stating what needed to be said. I'm particulary glad that these lovely children were here today to hear that speech. Not only was it authentic frontier gibberish, it expressed a courage little seen in this day and age.
