My sense is he has been guiding them through DJ from start to finish (especially when he said on Friday if he snapped his fingers - they would have played).
This was about more than dirty uniforms and walls. There has been a running political battle between the University President and Doug Williams (which got DW canned) and I think the kids were used as pawns in a personal battle.
But hey - if it gets them some sugar daddy infused money for deserved Gatorade, new weight benches and other basic team needs - good for them - well played. Not sure it will have a positive impact on the other teams on campus who are also struggling though.
Yeah, Doug Williams was angry because he and his staff weren't paid bonuses owed to him, and the school was pissed because he found the funding to fix the weight room floor on his own.
None of this speaks well for Grambling,
