Message: [QUOTE="SubbaBub, post: 1383004, member: 523"] PP was a 50/50 gamble from the outset. Everyone knew it. We could have gone for another up and comer or play it safe. The young guy could have flamed put as so many assistants do in the big chair. The old guy was supposed to build but more importantly maintain the momentum of the first decade. People were split. I wanted a guy like Tom Bradley, successful coordinator at a major program or an NFL assistant like Edsall was. Others liked the idea of a "proven" college head coach. I think it's safe to assume we will never make the same retread mistake again. The choice was based on a philosophy and it couldn't have played out any worse. Complete disaster doesn't even cover it.
