I wish him the best, but good riddance to him!
How quickly we forget!
Dan said, "And when we win the national championship, remember I hired Hugh Freeze and Ross Bjork."
Newsflash! If Dan Jones had his way, Pete Boone would still be our AD and we wouldn't know who Ross Bojrk was.
Does anyone else remember? Dan was on Forward Rebels hit list back in 2011, and Boone was the consolation prize. Did anyone else actually see those full page articles?
I know you all saw them, but did everyone really forget there was evidence of Jones overlooking Boone's "mis-management" of the Athletic Department going back to 2009.
