Message: [QUOTE="8893, post: 3417944, member: 93"] Who do you believe isn't being held accountable? I'm not blaming Hurley for the situation, nor am I blind to Gilbert's struggles. If Hurley has a fault, it's the same fault Calhoun had, i.e., loyalty to fault. It's the same fault that brought us KO, and the same fault that made many of us stick by him longer than we probably should have. And it's the same fault that caused Hurley and some of us to stick by Gilbert longer than others would have. Rooting for someone to succeed is not inconsistent with holding them accountable. Raising good young men can be complicated. Maybe it sounds hokey or old fashioned to many here, but I remember well when Calhoun used to go on and on about how he viewed raising good young men to be his most important job, and I remember KO echoing those comments and seeming to live by that example in his first couple seasons coaching here. I believe Hurley has that same view, and it's something I value. Watching his presser last night I could see that, although he was proud of--and relieved by--what the team was able to accomplish by compartmentalizing and playing with focus, he was still personally hurting for whatever is going on with AG. I think that drama is real and I am glad for Anthony's article today, which really puts it in the proper perspective imo. [/QUOTE]
