Message: [QUOTE="Scooch, post: 3234181, member: 628"] Three things ultimately led to P’s demise at SU: 1) Brutal losses to Rutgers in 2003 and Temple in 2004. Bad losses happen, but those were incredibly ill timed. Beat that horrific Temple team and we just take a beating in the Fiesta Bowl against Utah. No biggee. P would’ve been around in 2005 had that happened. 2) Losing out on Michael Vick. I sincerely think we contend for a national title in 2000 if we had Vick. The utter inability to adequately replace McNabb for years was a killer. 3) Being a loyal employee and not publicly raising the issue of poor facilities. P was (and is) a admirable guy, but in this case he needed to be selfish and call attention to Buzz’s malfeasance. [/QUOTE]
