This is Kevin Wilsons fault. He came out and announced a staff change for a school hes not coaching. What right does he have going public saying hes going to be coaching DBs at NU when its not even public knowledge that our DB coach is leaving.
I agree that Kevin Wilson messed this up for us, and did not need to give out so many details. But the flip side of this is, Bo has to just go with the flow. It's his fault to begin with that Wilson wasn't sufficiently aware of what he couldn't say. If it is such a big deal to keep the cat in the bag, make sure a guy like Wilson knows. And given that Wilson let it out of the bag, Bo has to roll with the punches. There's no need to maintain a company line of "No, nothing's happened." Just say, "Today is about this great class we have, and there will be no comments on anything else." But when the reporters fished, Bo failed to stick to his own rules about the presser and decided to be misleading.
I chalk that up to lack of media savvy rather than anything malicious, but it was damaging. Bo has integrity, but Bo made a misstep today. In his defense, he probably didn't realize to what extent the cat was out of the bag, though reporters filled it in for him eventually.
