I realize I've been posting this all morning, and I'm surprised there isn't more of it. I am also certain that it was discussed in much more depth two weeks ago when this first came out.
You don't try to become a "basketball school" when your football program/athletic department is worth $910,000,000.00
This isn't Duke with high tuition, small student body, and alumni base not interested in football. This is the FIFTH LARGEST "franchise" in all of college sports.
You don't wait for Nick Saban to leave Alabama, who is 4th largest. Even the mighty Saban at Alabama can be beaten. You don't roll over and emphasize basketball if your the FIFTH LARGEST entity worth nearly a BILLION dollars.
You don't lost to Troy in your own stadium, either.
This is a very logical and fair response, RedPop.
However - I'm not suggesting we've completely given up on football. We're just taking a break.
Explain to me otherwise why we would hire Coach Orgeron as a fith largest entity, to your point???

Because Joe Alleva made an irrational, emotional decision in the name of his own pride in the wake of losing Tom Herman to Texas. It's a mistake that will cost him his job.

Becasue he is a bad Ad who made a bad and hasty decision after not being able to close the deal with Herman.
When Herman signed with Texas, Alleva basically said 'Screw you guys, I'm going home" and just gave the job to O.
He had no plan B and now this is what we are stuck with. Simple as that.

To understand and explain that, I would have to be inside Joe Alleva's head. I'm not in there, and I'm not him, so for me to explain why would be pure ignorance. I know my limits.
