I don't know what that (his comment) even means...

I took it as RR saying "whats the big deal, I haven't done anything different at lately than I have my whole life" and being genuinely suprised that people A) know more about it and B) think its wrong.

More signs to me that he is completely ill prepared for the pressure and scrutiny of a high profile position like scUM head coach.

Seeing the comments about 3 rivals makes me more sure than ever they have found their Cooper to replace their Earle.

IIRC, one of the things that [he said?] surprised him was that everybody there acted as if he's never been a head coach anywhere before. If he thinks that being a head coach at one of the top-tier programs in the Big Ten, let alone TSUN, is something that he can dismiss with a casual "been there, done that" kind of nonchalance, then I think he's not going to have a lot of inside support or staying power.

If he felt part of the reason he had to leave WVU was that he didn't have the support he felt he needed from the administration, how is he going to feel about the new boss(es) making him settle the lawsuit before he "got to clear his name"?

Given his sizeable paycheck, and 4 million help from boosters, probably pretty good.

Lets see how he does against Tressel, before we make that comparison.

I got back from the Big Ten luncheon in Chicago a little bit ago. I've washed my hands repeatedly, since I did shake RR's hand and said "Welcome to the best rivalry in sports."

The food at the luncheon was good, except for the salad dressing. It was courtesy of Rich Rodriguez, and was made of snake oil and vinegar.



OK, I stole that line from Brent Musberger. :wink2:
