I actually thought that 10 years ago...

Then I watched JB weather the 2nd round of sanctions and then the Daddy-ball chapter and realized JB had absolute 100% control over the program. Beyond the power of the AD, the chancellor, etc.

His 45+ years in job had evolved into absolute power. This was nothing like football, which had cratered into program irrelevance for over 3 decades under a revolving door of head coaches.

And to be clear, I wanted him gone after the 2nd round of sanctions and have posted that opinion here numerous times since then.

But I also came to grips with the fact that he would get his legacy hire as part of his exit, because of his absolute power over the program, regardless if it was warranted.

Red is truly part of JB's legacy because JB required a legacy hire and had the power to demand it. This is the last chapter and vestige of his program control.

I don't "feel better" about any of this BTW.

You don't agree that this is the reality of the situation.

OK, agree to fundamentally disagree.
