Screw it. I'm just going to keep re-posting this.

I think a lot of people need to read it and let it sink in a bit.

The more I think about this without knowing any of the
behind-the-scenes details, and NOBODY on this board knows any of those things, (all we can do is speculate and overreact to those speculations) the more I think Bowden may have significantly upped my level of respect for him.

Here's the situation: Bowden did not seek out the Arkansas job. They sought him out. Not only that, they offered him 2.5 million per year which is a pretty sizable increase in salary. Bowden looks at it, meets with Terry Don Phillips, and says I want to stay here and I don't need an equal counter-offer in dollars for me, but I really need more security for my assistant coaches, because I believe we can "finish the job". We need to not let other schools hire these guys away.

That's the kind of coach I would want to play for and work for. Maybe instead of us immediately saying "He's just holding the school hostage for more money because he's a greedy SOB!" maybe we should look at it from another angle.

While I like the idea of Tommy putting his ###. coaches first I really hope someone hires Rob Spence away, to have this much talent and waste it with bad decisions is just beyond me.

Now I hope Vic and some other ###. get huge pay raises but Spence is not the answer and unless he throws the ball down the field never will be.
