Imagine you are a booster for a moment....Your last name is Haslam or Anderson or something halfway recognizable to the fan base. In 08 Fulmer finally slips enough and booster start cutting checks to go a different direction, they bring Kiffin in, less than a year later he skips town and you realize the administration wasn't smart enough to tie a large buy out to him. In a rush to save the recruiting class they bring in a thoroughbred last name with an average to below average record to lead your team, the administration has botched it, he is pampas and arrogant with nothing to back it up, fails after his time is up and the same administration comes calling for cash again, you cut the check, they are on a plane to get Gundy a raise, Strong leaves them stranded in Louisville coming back empty handed and in steps a snake oil salesman full of one liners and hope. His time comes to an end without significant improvement and a decision is made, again you cut the check.....now comes a story about an AD who cant be reached, we have a quirky pirate on the line, no now theyre at Doren at NC State, nah hes staying, Brohm is a done deal, nah he's not, whispers of Schiano drop on a Sunday and Volnation ties him to Penn state to make themselves feel warm and fuzzy to overthrow the hire because its not Stoops, Gruden, or Urban......chaos ensues, the AD gone, the country laughing at us, and now a former coach the same one you wrote a check to remove in 2008 is making the hire and we are down to Coordinators because no one else wants a part of the clown show. ...... so back to your last name and that check book....do you mind taking it out for one more check....we'll get our guy this time, you can trust ole Phil. Now belly up to the bar we just need a few million from each of you.
