[QUOTE="steeleer, post: 129627077, member: 1484359"] How does everything here break down into a Rod or Stew argument when neither of these guys coach here? Let me clarify a few things: 1) Stew did make an effort to dig up dirt on Dana. 2) Stew went canvassing the major boosters in order to get backing to fight his removal. I'm acquaintances with one such booster who told me about the call they got from him personally. 3) Ollie had to address the issue at some point. Why not then? There was a large contingent of fans that were very pro-Stew and he wasn't going to roll out the gory details and further divide the fan-base. I'm sure his answer was written and rehearsed well ahead of that news conference. 4) Ollie was forced into the HCIW issue. It was shoved on him from above. The BOG was divided on this issue and this was the only way they would allow this transition to happen. I am sure Ollie would not have gone that route if he was able to act unilaterally. [/QUOTE]
