Play dumb if you want, but what you SHOULD dislike is that "we" (the new AD for example, and other powers that be) may actually be faced with the Top 5 HC (Mario, Kiffin, Stoops, Fickell, etc) ALL saying NO for whatever reason...
...it's silly not to consider this could happen, especially with all the "intrigue" in the BOT n Boosters. (Of course I hope it doesn't.)
It's well and good for all the down-voting Never-Manny-Nannies to NO-NO-Never the possibility of him being retained, but (and maybe if we lost to Duke this wouldn't be at all possible)- - - that could very well be the decision Jurich (or other capable AD) has to make. It's easy to say "I'd rather have Golden back than retain Manny") but c'mon, now, really?
