We certainly don't know all the factors, but in the end, HCDM either lost his affection for the job or simply BS'd everyone from the start about "dream job", building young men who behave and act with integrity, statements about leaving the program in great shape (and then gutting the coaching staff), etc.
 
He did a decent job while here - particularly in his final season... but his exit exposed that he was yanking our chain about alot of stuff he said. He went out on a limb and said a lot of stuff about being a dedicated alma mater alum, dream job, building men that act with integrity... lots of stuff he didn't have to say... and words that rightfully bite him in the arse after his mercenary-style exit to the NFL...
 
Decent 4 year track record here for sure and I am very happy he ressurected us from the depths of Hell... VERY happy... An that is a good part of his legacy...
 
It's also quite possible he always viewed this job as a stepping stone and if/when tapped for an NFL HC job, he would bolt to his real "dream job"... and his comments otherwise were simply insincere. I think that many feel that is the case, hence the problem with how he exited.
 
But his exit puts a black mark on his legacy... and it should...
