| This was a classic case of the mentality of "he's [awesome/a savior] when we're getting him and he [sucks / is worthless] when he chooses somewhere else.
This attitude is widespread amongst college football fans in regards to coaches & especially recruits. I have see this on the Vol Nation board PLENTY. (i.e. Jarvis Giles & that QB going to Stanford).
That being said, I think the LSU fans are worse than most about it. I was glancing at their board a couple nights ago when we thought Coach O was going to LSU. All they could say was how dominant it was going to make their defense & recruiting & how we were morons for not getting him.
Had to change their tune real quick.....(and I'm glad we have him!) |
