OWH
I laugh at the stupidity in bold. Unless Osborne is an employee/contractor of the University in some capacity then he should have ZERO say in what happens there. None. If Osborne wants to have a say in the Univeristy's dealings then maybe he should apply and get hired for an actual job there.
Tom Osborne was the Athletic Director of the University when this happened. Harvey didn't consult with TO regarding a replacement, while TO was still employed by the University.
I've also heard from a few different places that Harvey was looking for a replacement before Tom even said he was going to retire, which triggered the abrupt announcement/press conference that nobody saw coming.
Exactly. TO rose above the fray by denying he was pressured out, but I'd wager about 85% of what Bo told his team during that last meeting was accurate. The writing was on the wall when Eich was hired as perlmans lackey. They just lacked the political firepower to make their move in '13.
Funny thing is, people want to ignore the (lack of) leadership parallels, but is not being able to get a meeting any different than receiving notes under the door?
I apologize if this is common knowledge, but can I get a link to where coaches have stated the bold? I've searched and I can't find anything.
