Hindsight being 20/20, as they say, I think Doug treated the PR side of the job more like an NFL guy would.  He always picked his words very carefully and rarely let his guard down or his personality show through.
 
Many of his interviews, particularly the last couple of years,  seemed more like an "us against them" scenario.  How many times did we have to listen to him him say "I need to do a better job coaching..." crap last year? 
 
Based on DM's actions and the way he left there's is very little doubt in my mind that SU was simply part of his plan to land in the NFL...and more power to him!  He certainly did a great job turning around arguably  the worst D1 program in the country, for which we are all very thankful.
 
SS, on the other hand, appears to be far more comfortable in his own skin than DM does.  (Speaking of skin...SS seems to be adorned with a much thicker variety than DM which could be a huge asset.)  We all know that he is one heck of a DC, so let's hope that he has assembled a great staff and that he makes some great coaching decisions on game days.  Hopefully it translates into a boat load of hard nosed wins and bowl appearances.
