i just looked up & re-read the press release announcing corny's "promotion" to assoc HC. i think it's worth noting that it was ALL DD -- the promotion, the quotes, everything. there was NO mention of or quotes from anyone else -- not CS, not brad, nobody. if this CJ 'next man up' theory had any cred at all or was in any way officially agreed upon by someone with the authority to do something about it, you'd think there woulda been somebody else that either DD would've alluded to or that would've gone on record in this release as to have agreed to something formal in nature taking place. it comes across as nothing but a title he can put on his resume now.
suffice to say, i was encouraged after reading it, again. 😂
