Almost the entire board was ready to burn down Alumni with the news. I think some people softened with the initial press conference the next day and some subsequent media interviews, but this place was a cesspool of despair for a solid 24 hours.
few comments:
1. i think at that point the only type of coach who wouldve satisfied me (and probably the majority of the board) wouldve been an urban meyer type
2. even after the initial anger, i still didnt expect him to do as well as he has
3. i still have concerns about him getting us to the 10-2 season, but it does seem his basement is tobias 2.0, which is something i will take after the spaz years.
4. i am still of the belief that roman will make a great college coach
