I had a very good conversation with my Homie today about where our program has been and where we're going. She made the sharp observation that since Phil was fired, how our administration's approach 2 football has been extremely mercenary. While there is something to be said for going out and paying top dollar for professionals to do a job, our program lost its way by not marrying professional excellence with the foundational principles of what it means to be a Volunteer.
I think Phil has learned this lesson since he was fired. I also think we will get to see the fruits of that hard-earned wisdom with our new hire.
