I don't understand what all the hubbub is about Staley's comments. People are saying that Dawn is defending her friend Nikki to the point of sort of issuing a statement of denial of how reality was during Fargas' time in Red Stick. But I see it as a rather cold-hearted but to-the-point critique of her friend's failed tenure over the Bounding Bengals.
Dawn says simply - that had Fargas experienced the kind of excited fanbase support and full arenas for their home games under her, as Dawn experienced against Mulkey's squad last night, that perhaps Fargas would still be the head coach of the program.
Everyone is debating on how the fanbase support got to the tepid levels it presented under Fargas, and who exactly was responsible for that. But is Dawn's statement untrue? Can that be proven?
Perhaps it was a friend's painfully truthful testimony of her friends' failings as Head Coach at LSU. Dawn understood from the first day she was Head Coach at South Carolina that she needed to engage fully in community outreach and attract her fanbase to come to the games. That resulted in nationally-leading attendance averages for many years now, and it appears to continue into the future.
Perhaps this was Dawn's way of saying, "Hey Nikki, if you had done your homework and worked harder to bring your fanbase into your own home games to show support to the players and for what you were trying to accomplish, perhaps you'd still be the head coach there". Again, can this be argued against with ease?
SO what is the deal about, here??
