He wasn't allowing the program to tank. This sentiment is so incredibly ridiculous and about as cooky as those claiming to be abducted my aliens.
The dude is a D1 head coach. His livelihood and reputation are at stake each and ever day. Everything he does is out in the open for people to see. He wants to coach at the highest levels and be successful, so with all that in mind...how can I tank my current program and make myself look incredibly unattractive for future job?
