[QUOTE="The Bell Tolls for Thee, post: 131690886, member: 1812660"] I am not defending RR. I think he is a selfish, arrogant prick that burned this bridge and I would be ashamed if the University brought him back in any significant capacity. He is also 20 years removed from his time of being innovative. My point though is against this "splitting" mentality where if someone is a POS that you can't acknowledge anything they did that was good lest you are accused of agreeing that EVERYTHING that person did or was is good. So despite my position on RR as stated above, it is revisionist history to paint him as a bad coach. He's no Nehlen, but definitely better than anyone else since Bowden. All the other failings of the man does not discount that as head coach the program did a pretty efficient job at recruiting what they could, developing what they got, and using those strengths effectively in game planning.
