Seemed there was a group that could not wait to blow it up , to the point of trying it in an offseason after the portal was closed, and with a first time HC over his head.
Not sure who all was involved in that brilliance, but that was my main question.
It was a group of boosters that had gotten power back under Cohen that they did not have under Byrne or Stricklin. Then Leach came in and he told them all to F off and he didn't like them, which he didn't. They were the ones wanting to replace him. And it wasn't because we were doing bad, it was because they were basically cut off from info and so they couldn't look cool at the bar of whatever Madison Co country club they belonged to. Well Leach dies and we hastily promote Arnett and I believe, do not know this for fact, but believe they were the ones who pushed for him to have the permanent job and not just have it on an interim basis. They pitched it that they could put all these people around him that would help him. AKA: People who would feed them info and go drink with them at Two Bros and tell them how cool they were.
