Dan Jones was shown the door in 2015 and it had been building for some time. Maybe a couple of years. Is there any connection between his departure and the rise of The Network? Is it possible that he was trying to tap the brakes on the Network and they said no? A power struggle ensues and Jones is gone. In his place, they have an academic who has thus far proven to be anything but a strong leader. They got their man.\
Babe McCarthy was shown the door at MSU in the early sixties after bringing four outright SEC basketball titles, supposedly because of moral issues. If anybody was going to keep a coach that won, especially doing so against the legendary Adolph Rupp, then it should have been us. Instead, it appears we took the higher ground and went with principle over wins.
I bring up Coach McCarthy because I've heard that the Hugh Freeze resignation was 'the biggest' in the history of the state. I contend that McCarthy was far more successful than CHF has ever been because we have real championship banners to show for it.
