Message: [QUOTE="UConnNick, post: 3163377, member: 1526"] That's true, but they could have acted like adults and conducted a search. Calhoun orchestrated it knowing there was no time for that, so he painted them into a corner. We got a national championship out of it, so it's hard to complain about anything Calhoun, Manuel or Herbst did or didn't do at the time. It's actually terrifying now in retrospect to think about who Warde and Suzy might have hired given the opportunity, judging by Manuel's abysmal hiring track record since (i.e. Bobby Fiasco as Exhibit "A"). Suffice it to say I seriously doubt we'd be sitting here today with a fourth national title. How was Calhoun supposed to know at that time that Ollie would turn into cream pie just because of a divorce? He would have needed a crystal ball to predict Ollie would go on a complete mental tailspin. [/QUOTE]
