Message: [QUOTE="FfldCntyFan, post: 4150426, member: 71"] Not long after buying out Diaco we were in a position where funding a second buyout was a distinct possibility (still hasn't been resolved). There are a few with some authority who felt (still feel) it would have been a better move to wait an additional year on making a coaching change in men's basketball even if it would have cost us our current head coach. They saw limiting the financial support for football (look to where RE needed to turn to fill out coaching positions once the Hurley decision was made) as a way to punish DB. I am thrilled with what has recently transpired and in all candor did not believe it could have happened prior to resolution of the dismissal of our prior men's basketball coach. [/QUOTE]
