Listened to your interview on Finebaum. I thought you answered the question about OM situation in a diplomatic way. Very professional. Good job.
Now I know you can't come out and say that OM is cheating...
But I hope after all the smoke clears and we know exactly the lengths they took to cheat....oops, didn't mean, oh wait. I don't have to be professional...
But it drives me crazy to listen to media talk about successful recruiting and OM in the same breath. Finebaum even mentioned it earlier in the show when talking about who was the #2 coach behind Saban. He mentioned Freeze and the success he has had in recruiting. It may just be me, but I look at this situation about on par with claiming that an elusive bank robber as being a "success in life".
But when all this is said and done, will you please be the one media mouthpiece to have the guts to call a spade a spade? And I don't mean use the word cheaters. But when someone mentions OM and successful recruiting in the same sentence, you can say that maybe they were just excellent recruiters, or you could ask is their success in recruiting a reflection of why the ncaa spent the last 4 years in Mississippi?
I think that would be diplomatic enough and still get the message across. I actually think that could be used now when someone makes that claim if you want to go ahead and use it.
Thank you for your consideration.
