WufPacker, et. al.
If you recall, Debbie Yow (Who was widely criticized for how she “deals” with things) craftily negotiated a “NO $$’s & you can go to work for UVA” deal with TOB. We did NOT pay him ONE red centalvo in “severance”. We paid him for “Services Rendered” for the season….plus his earned bonuses (and that is fair)….but Debbie done traded his future salary for the opportunity to ply his trade with the mightly Wahoos……How’d THAT work out.
I have the utmost respect, as I suspect MANY do, for TOB, the man, the Marine, etc. TOB also did a good job at BC, especially with the QB and Line(s). BUT, he his personality and demeanor and approach were not exactly suited here.
We did OK, for a while, with TOB….and he obviously had very few, if any disciplaniary problems…..SOMETHING we should be proud of and a tradition that Coach Doeren will keep. TOB just never “Grew on us”.
He will be interesting as a side line commentator….probably well versed and does have a dry (subtle) sense of humor. Will he be more popular than some of the “Pants Suits” on the sideline…..don’t know.
BUT, I do wish him well…..
