Message: [QUOTE="RF2044, post: 5683429, member: 40"] I agree. After the "in house" route flopped so spectacularly this time, it is going to be an uphill sell to the fanbase. Yes, some fans will get behind whichever candidate is hired -- but others are going to be skeptical. Not to be vulgar, but you can't urinate down people's backs and tell them it's raining for too long. If the AD hires Hopkins, they are going to have to live with the backlash / consequences from an already disgrunted fanbase. Doing the same thing twice and hoping for a different result is going to be a tough pill for a SIGNIFICANT portion of the fanbase to swallow, no matter WHAT the ostensible accompanying NIL is. And that is real, not just a jaded opinion. [/QUOTE]
