Message: [QUOTE="721Comstock, post: 2131118, member: 5429"] Great post. Hop knew that JB didn't really want to retire after next year. JB apparently tried for a 5 year extension last year - guess that 9-game "holiday" really opened his eyes to how much he will miss coaching when it's over. JB was told the transition to Hop would go on as planned. Other things likely happened. Hop decided to go his own way, not wanting to be forced to choose between being the guy who "forced" his friend/mentor/father-figure out the door, or having to continue waiting. JB gets his 5 year extension, now that Hop is out the door. [/QUOTE]
