the writing has been on the wall. al has been creating his escape plan. don't be surprised if the following happens, a) he leaves based upon his wife's health b) he leaves based upon his wife's family issues or c) he leaves based upon another mediocre school wanting to interview him. al may be a broken man, but he's still a man and no man is going to continue to tolerate the abuse that we as fans, AND the alumni have been giving him. he needs a new start and therefore i truly, truly feel he won't be here by next season.
