Is it the case that RL was asked to leave? I haven't heard that. The fact that there wasn't an immediate presser announcing his replacement makes me think that Gus got caught flat-footed.
It's not the official party line, but you'll never convince me he left to UCONN for considerably less money on his own accord.
I don't get the missuguys plane picture.
It's not entirely clear, but it seems like he's sarcastically saying "Buh bye" to the Auburn plane that came to interview Kendal Briles (or maybe both him AND Kiffin, IDK).
