Oh, I see what you mean. It was a "big deal" because it was kind of like the beginning of a culture change where a leader would actually come back vs leaving early declaring for the NFL draft when they obviously weren't ready, which seems to have plauged UM for a while. Seemed more like a Clemson-esque move at the time. Just sad how everything has turned out so far.
I still have high hopes for the youngins on the squad. Maybe they can get a real coach during their time and do something. We can only hope.
