Message: [QUOTE="David 76, post: 2456736, member: 4232"] It is that Ollie created the top of that hill (and under difficult circumstances), he didn't come in on top of it. It was a great program which just missed the tournament, had a bunch of players transfer, had a loss of scholarships and an NCAA ban, had just been SCREWED in conference realignment and lost a HOF coach. His hire was forced by his mentor and he had a three month contract. Maybe nosedive was a little strong, but we had been decimated. Our reputation was hurt by our violations and many predicted our demise. May not have coached in college but I know enough to remember we were still playing in the real BE when Ollie took over.
