I have to say, GB, on 1510 this morning, made a VERY strong argument for keeping Dan. He basically argued that continual replacements of coaches really set most programs back for years. He believes there is a strong possiblity that Dan will turn it around next year. He thinks Dan made the same mistake he made when he went to Northwestern from Colorado. That is that he came here not understanding the dirrerences between Colorado and Boise St. According to GB, that is a common mistake for guys making their first big move.
He also discussed his termination. He felt like the program had weathered the storm and was ready to get beyond the scandal. He said that the year he was let go, they'd made it to #13 and then suffered a "really fluky" loss to ISU. When that happened, he felt like the players just had a mental melt down. He said that he and the playere had been told by Bohn that the staff would be retained. So he kind of implied that he and the players were stabbed in the back. As for Hawkins, he said that there are many thing behind the scenes that could be happening. Bohn could be on his own or he could be getting infuence from above.
GB said that the costs of firing a staff and bringing in a new one are a lot higher than you think. Aside from the buyout, there are the finaizing of the old staff's salarys, the fact that you will have to pay a new staff more than the one you are replacing, the fact that you have to pay moving expenses, etc.
Anyway, these are GB's opinions and I thought they were worth discussing. I did not get Syko's approval before posting this thread. :lol:
