AU really fucked up. i know there is more to the story than we will ever know, and i'm not a huge fan of the "coach in waiting" bullshit, but when you have a coach there for 10 years i don't think it would be a bad idea to have something like that. it wouldn't have killed AU to go at it another year and have a plan and have a "controlled" situation where they can tell everybody "hey, don't worry, we got this shit". with the coach in waiting deal, at least all the recruits will know in advance what they will get in case the head coach leaves or is fired, whatever. the result of not doing that is a complete implosion of the 09 class. i think what sucks the most is some coach 2-3 years from now is going to pay for this year's fuckup, and then he will be scrutinized. plus this is going to fuck you guys over with the talent on the roster already considering the NFL.
