This quote is concerning, “They are… unwilling to accept what Dave inherited in attitude, lack of talent/ recruiting and… he and his staff were hired to reverse that downward trend.”
I don’t remember DY sharing that^ specificity upon TOB’s release, nor “coming to DD’s aid” with that specificity during last year’s death spiral (instead, TOB was fired due to “loss of ticket sales”).
Yes, she stated some ‘general’ comments of support for DD, but I don’t remember her stating that TOB’s recruiting was slipping previously. TOB’s recruiting rankings (as per other recruiting sites) were all pretty much ‘average,’ except in a year or two when a several 4* guys were signed–but they didn’t turn out to be difference-makers (except Glennon). Instead, TOB was ‘known’ for “developing diamond-in-the-rough players.” So, how do you tell when he was “developing” them, and when he wasn’t?
