Message: [QUOTE="SU91, post: 4585976, member: 8807"] Oh yeah, saw it coming during the investigation. It was evident back then if you were really paying attention. He should have retired as early as the FF run. But, I truly believe he thought he could get the program back on superior footing before handing it off. Unfortunately, sanctions had their desired effect. We had trouble recruiting and he got even older. Then, we had a couple of semi-successful ncaa runs and his ego and desire to go out a winner really got in the way. All the while, year over year, failing to land premier recruits. Our talent has just gotten worse and worse. Other coaches smell blood in the water and…it’s over. We have a crappy team. Add to that Jim being a jerk, and you can see why it’s ending this way. But, in the end, as much as an egotistical jerk as he is, he’s still an SU alum who does actually care, with a legacy, and this is sad, so I do feel bad. [/QUOTE]
