Message: [QUOTE="AZHuskiePop, post: 4202966, member: 1609"] JC really didn’t get to pick his successor Ollie got a 6 month interim position for peanuts. The expectations were 2012-13 would be a disaster and the AD could pick someone more Big Tenish vs South Boston or Crenshaw. When Ollie won 20 games 10-8 in the Big East he was forced into a three year extension. My belief is no Ollie no NC in 2014 Most people on this board really don’t understand how close , Bazz, Boat, and DD were to Ollie..I didn’t understand myself the extent of the tragedy. I knew he was their coach since 2011 and father figure. Especially Bazz I never grasped how close that four were until thev FF presser’s in 2014. That KO had a personality change with that NC. which destroyed his marriage, career , and relationships , and also destroyed the sense of family that surrounded our program in 2014 is undeniable and tragic. However how many of us actually achieve that type of success and celebrity and would we be able to remain true to ourselves. [/QUOTE]
