I too hope he finds work and in if it were all financially possible, I think it would be great if he could sit the year out and travel the country watching other teams in their practice and game time situation trying to figure out what went wrong. Coach Solich did the same thing and he said it greatly helped him as a coach.
Earlier in the year, I posted that something is horribly amiss with team chemistry and leadership to have gotten in so many bad stretches within games. The idea that the team was going to rally around the coach and save his job late in the year shows how poorly they played earlier in the year. That being said, the debacle in Dekalb was a metaphor for the whole season. Some of the transferring players are going to get a wake up call when they go to successful programs and see what happens when you don't measure up. We all make mistakes, even serious lapses in judgement within our lives. The key is to learn and get better.
We have all met people who still make excuses and blames others well into the golden years of their lives. Let's hope the players and the coaching staff and even some of those who enabled their ineptness, learn form their mistakes. I know it sounds like a cliche, but I learned a heckuva lot more about myself through coaching, and those around me, when we lost than when we won. Sometimes what you see in the mirror isn't something you like.
