I became a fan the year before that, when they won their first NC under the late, great Howard Schnellenberger. Schnelly is probably turning over in his grave after seeing what the BoT has done to the program that he so meticulously built.
It seems that with every hire, we get further and further away from our glory days.
This latest abomination of a HC may be the final mail in the coffin for our program. It’s a sad day to be a Canes fan, but life goes on.
The power players that run the U have literally run it into the ground. If Mario has any integrity, he holds a news conference this morning and says that it’s his fault and that he’s making major changes from top to bottom, and hiring a new OC and DC. Then he needs to just evaluate talent, recruit and be a CEO.
I can hope that he changes, but my gut feeling all of this time has been that he’s set in his ways, and not very likely to do what’s right for the program.
