Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 1114996, member: 289"] This has been discussed before but I had hopedthat after Doug appealed to the fans about how this was "Our Team and Our Town" and this was his dream job, some kind of public statement would have been made when he left as to why he was leaving. He'd said that the whole point of his career from the time he started as an unpaid assistant at Cortland State was to become the head coach at Syracuse. It was said by Sean Payton that Doug was already on the short list for NFL head coaching jobs but he wanted this job. I thought we had football's Boeheim or John Desko. I guess I took it too personally but Doug had seemed like he wanted a close relationship with the fans and he just walked out without a word to them. There was rumor about a fight in the locker room during the 5 game losing streak that ended and ruined the 2011 season. I mentioned it to Bud and the Manchild and all they would say was that they'd heard the same rumor. [/QUOTE]
