Could he have done better, probably. Should he have been fired? Given the athletic expectations in Ann Arbor, possibly yes as he had been given a decent amount of time. But you're making a pretty strong statement that I hope you can personally back up. In either case, I wouldn't care to be unnecessarily badmouthing a former Blue Devil of, as far as everything I've heard or seen, excellent character.
Go Tommy!!!!!! Go Duke!!!!!!!!!!! Go Devils!!!!!!!!! GTHCGTH!!!!!!!!!!!
