There is a reason Jules is selling houses and Golden is coaching Linebackers in Motown.
Everyone seems to be missing the issue here. Had Hobbs hired Golden or Butch a month ago with a significantly upgraded staff, most people would have rolled with it. I begrudgingly would have. Even those of us who don’t want either coach would have probably returned with hopes that a better staff and some real HC experience at the helm would at least get us in a better direction. Ash was THAT bad.
Instead, the guys behind the guy decided to kick off the public Schiano crusade distracting the fan base and making it almost impossible for Hobbs to have a legit search pushing it to the point where the fan base was foaming at the mouth for a $100mm+ facility and return of the chosen one. By last week Politi and clan were all on board and the twitter warriors were out in full force. Greg or bust!!!! Now, if things collapse the fan base is in revolt mode and nothing we can do save an Urban level hire would satisfy.
When does Greg Brown or Towers take a hit for this fiasco allowing this to become so public and political?
Yet again, RU can’t control the message and has put themselves at risk of a PR nightmare. And THAT my friend is the real story.
Like I said, this collapses and we look like smack asses, I’ll be spending my Saturdays drinking an 18 year Scotch in that boat.
