What a quandary: agreeing with Kraft Macaroni and Boogers and defending ethical behavior and reputation or agreeing with the look the other way, and win ant all costs take. If we no longer care about reputation, then just throw a big bag of money at Kelvin Sampson.? He’s a winner who has never followed the rules and has had a show clause put against him. But of course it’s all about winning no matter how you do it.. SMFH.
That’s where the game has gotten. And, if we’re honest, it got there a long time ago. We’ve been on the outside looking in because we’ve resisted joining it where it is. It makes us feel superior - even if we’re rarely watching Bracket Sunday and hoping for a single-digit seed when we are.
There are limits to this, of course. But, yes, we should hire somebody who insists on winning and won’t tolerate losing. That sort of attitude is contagious.
If we’d have hired Bruce Pearl back when I and many other people who had seen his USI teams play said we should, we’d be in a very different place today.
I’m sure everybody in the Auburn community is really sweating their precious reputation with a guy like that there.
