Coach, yours was a thank-less job, given the greater context. I was admittedly one of your major detractors on this board back when the head coaching decision was being made. Without regard to who was to blame for what, I'd just like to thank you for your class that has shown through even the bitter end. It says a lot about your character that you were given the opportunity to say whatever you wanted to say on the way out, but that you didn't take the bait. You and your family have been associated with the Herd for many years more than is ever typical for an assistant. Best wishes to you -- and to your daughters who will join others of us as Marshall alums in the so-called real world.
