The BOT stepped into the HC hiring situation after talking to Spurrier, who was the one (shaking my head) that recommended Muschamp. That's fact. Ask people who know. And the idea that Tanner's flop on the search was done on "his own time table" is Pravda level spin. It was a national embarrassment that included an interview with Rich Rod. Spurrier told Tanner he wanted to hang it up. That happened. The rest is history. The idea that Tanner's hire and friend, Hollbrook, was cutting a deal with CoC while he was dropping SEC series after SEC series while still being paid by USC has everything to do with Ray Tanner. I don't care about locker room problems. They are college kids, not the the athletic director. The idea that you'd let 19-22 year old kids pick a coach is absurd at face value and the result was a train wreck season that might've cost us our first choice for coach (granted, he would've bolted within a year). The BOT gave raises and extensions after the recommendation from Tanner. He's the athletic director. It would be a vote of no confidence to turn him down. And I don't need anymore reasons to "bash" Tanner. When he took over, we were kicking Clemson's ass in everything. Now we're talking about the Palmetto Cup. If he's going to ask fans to pay elite money to our coaches and pay for elite facilities, he needs to win some games. If you don't like my post, too bad.
