This is kind of crazy to me about what the university could have done in the moment.
This was a press conference where everyone and their mother knew this was going to be the first, second, third, etc question.
JB went off the rails.
Because of that, SU had to adjust accordingly.
This wasn't a presser that SU set up and JB went off the rails, it was the post game presser.
Was SU supposed to not allow JB to be available? That would have made things worse.
Time is off the essence with recruiting, JB made his choice, SU responded the only way they could.
JB has been paid millions of dollars.
SU stuck by him through two probations.
SU stuck by him through the first Hop Coach in Waiting, the second Coach in Waiting which he blew up.
The ironclad plan ridiculousness.
The years of downturn including allow him to have daddy ball and have JGIII be a four year starter.
Him trying to install GMac as Coach in waiting.
And this latest attempt to blow up another coach in waiting.
What did you want SU to do once he went rogue AGAIN?
Hopefully time heals all wounds and JB comes around. But it's go time for Red. JB is a legend, but he has to figure out how he wants his remaining years to be viewed and what he wants to do. Hopefully that can include coming around and being on board with this.
