The thing I find interesting is how some of the same people that have zero tolerance for frequent and/or negative criticism of the players or coaches after every loss feel like it is OK to constantly make destructive personal attacks on our AD. The thing that makes it worse is that we really have very little information on what is going on inside the program/university. We have no idea what constraints/orders Manuel is/was under. The same people who hate the negative nellies have no problem making big assumptions in justifying their attacks on the AD. And then you have the realities that, one, the constant whining won't change a damn thing and, two, it is get really old listening to the same crap over and over again. Put those two together and it makes for a douchy environment. Really, we don't need to hear how the next death storm is due to Manuel eating donuts instead of giving Ollie and extension and providing sexual favors for the presidents of the universities in the ACC.
And the other thing that needs to be said is that anyone who either doesn't think we should crucify Manuel yet or who thinks the contract and timing of the extension are reasonable or logical is not necessarily anti-Ollie. The straw man building is childish and idiotic. Many of us don't think Manuel deserves to be trashed yet and/or may even agree with his decisions but hope that Ollie is the great coach that Calhoun thinks he is. Once that is established, we will also put pressure on Manuel to get the extension done. And it if doesn't, we will CONSTRUCTIVELY, work to either get his arse in gear or get him removed. I had no problem pushing for Hathaway's removal so I will have no problem doing the same with Manuel when and if it becomes evident it needs to happen.
