Lavell said it best... there are 2 types of coaches... those who are being fired and those about to be fired. It's a ruthless business... the odds of Detmer being a great OC were very slim... and his recruiting was even worse.
Sitake had no choice but to let Detmer go... Holmoe should have never floated the idea or pushed the idea on Sitake to hire Detmer in the first place.
