I'm not missing any point.

It's the AD job to make tough choices -- especially when an iconic coach is acting childish, and not in the best interests of the program / university.

So, if the BOT only would accept Red as a JB replacement, then yeah -- the university artificially delimited the available choices, which is what I said.  What point am I missing?

It was important to get JB out.  Suggesting that the only way to accomplish that was by hiring from inside the program because of a mandate from a group that shouldn't be in charge of coach hiring decisions -- that shows the dysfunction.  We would have been better off keeping JB, frankly.

And as previously stated, actions / decisions have consequences -- and the "penalty" for this poor choice is that they've alienated a fanbase that had already become numb to losing during the 8 year decline over JB's last 8 years, and have lost and will continue to lose revenue.

So while I get that the AD can't always act unilaterally, this situation / botched hire demonstrates why a "committee" approach isn't always best, and that various decision making groups within the university need to stay in their lane.
