All OM fans who have been previously professing their hate for this narcissist winner will take him back with open arms with more love than ever until the hiring cycle next year. He is their Mullen, but much more successful on the field.
This. I’ve been calling it all along. This wasn’t some big strategy though. They almost lost him but ponied up to what he wanted to stay (unlike State did with Mullen). Once the contract was in place it’s just wait until after the EB to announce it. They win and it’s the final nail in the State football programs already partially buried coffin. They lose, and the announcement of him staying overshadows the loss and they still get into the playoffs. This is what a competent athletic administration and marketing program looks like.
