Brian Kelly is a micro manager and the first to throw people under the bus. He can manage a program very well but definitely not the culture of Louisiana.
We survived the loss of Elko, with a little drama.
This is really unprecedented. No one that I can think of leaves a program like OU for another blue blood.
Alright maybe Belloti wasn't a shoe in until he mentioned the civil war. What's more likely?
1. anOSU was aghast a career west coast coach though his west coast rivalry was comparable?
2. anOSU liked an OH coach better.
I'm sure it came up. The idea that Belloti woulda been the coach if he'd just sucked off the local rivalry is self gratifying. But it sounds better than we liked Tressel better.
then we coulda won the 2nd one as you're breaking in a new coach? But I get what you are saying. Once everyone is firing midseason, someone will try to do it during the game. Hopefully the NCAA disallows interviewing candidates at half time.
