Sad to see you used the topic to bash Mike O’Cain. He does not bash our program? He did have some success with a difficult job at the time. Sheridan and our Ad Valvano both agreed the football facilities were in need of upgrades to enhance recruiting. Remember the flowers by Jimmy V to Sheridan when he agreed to stay and not take the Georgia job. Well V was forced to step down as AD and the upgrades never happened until Amato got the job. Remember the shooting incident, that wiped out a large portion of our defense? Since we were coming off the V problems, these players were not allowed to play, hurt us on the field, but O’Cain bounced back and put us in a bowl. Remember O’Cain being named as one of the up and coming coaches in America? O’Cain had about as much success as our last two head coaches and never went winless in conference play. He won at Texas, beat FSU, and won at Syracuse, was a man of integrity, and stood by his staff when he could have fired them and saved his own neck. I am one Pack alum this is proud to say Mike O’Cain was our football coach!
