Message: [QUOTE="aburks41, post: 4359483, member: 4580"] My personal opinion is that Ollie was the perfect man for the job when Calhoun stepped down. He deserves the credit for 2014. I don’t think Calhoun wins the title with that team and he is the GOAT. Calhoun still had a huge influence over the program in 2013 and 2014 in regards to player development, but I think it’s pretty clear when Ollie’s personal life fell apart, his relationship with Calhoun was fractured (Calhoun’s own words) and that was the beginning of the downfall. He was a bad coach who was propped up by having the best player in the country and the GOAT coach in the office right down the hall. Once those two things were gone, he was toast. Had he just maintained his relationship with Calhoun and kept learning from the best resource in the sport, he likely has continued success here. [/QUOTE]
