Message: [QUOTE="CardiffGiant, post: 2538729, member: 7178"] It is easy to forget that when he first started coaching, the team was placed on probation thereafter and the program was in a bad place, and he was on the sidelines when they won an unexpected NC. By many accounts, he was hot commodity then, and he could have left. He deserves credit for staying and for his contributions, and despite his failings as a coach, no one questions that he cares for the university. The program is again is a very bad place, and he also deserves some, most, or all of responsibility for that too depending on your viewpoint. His departure though should not be handled like he was some hired gun with no affiliation to the university. If at all possible, it would be beneficial to all if it could be handled with class. After all, other potential coaches will take note of how things are handled as well. [/QUOTE]
