olddominionhusker Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Where's all the vindictive fervor? There's a lot less of that which foments when the athletic department mans up and tells the players to their face and not with an early morning e-mail/Tweet/ slip an unsigned photocopy under the door. Take notes for next time... Yeah the Michigan Athletic department is the one to model yourself after. Their AD only had the student body demonstrating in front of his office until he eventually resigned in October This is a new AD that did the firing. Just sayin And Im just saying we didnt have student protests on campus this fall because of the actions of our athletic department. So choosing between the situation Michigan found itself in this fall and our current situation, ill take the latter. Michigan had to go through a complete public meltdown. Quote Link to comment
Bowfin Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Right, so if Eichorst had told them in person... It would have been the right thing done the correct way, regardless of what reactions came of it. One does the right thing the right way because it is right, not because it is easier or benefits your situation. Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 It's ironic that all his players loved him and would run through brick walls for him, yet he couldn't even get them to beat Maryland in the Big House. Quite a paradox I'd say. lol Quote Link to comment

irafreak Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 It's probably more of a case that the players figured this was coming and already had time to slowly adjust to this idea of their coach being canned. I know I'd probably take it a little harder if I suddenly got fired instead of my job slowing fazing out... Quote Link to comment

LOL Wait, so there's more to being a good football coach than endearing yourself to young, impressionable men who are from from home and have little to no basis to objectively assess their coach's leadership qualities?
