If Mike Lude had been AD at the time everything came down, DJ would have still been coaching. We would have had a one year bowl ban, not the two years DJ was oppossed to.
Babs seriously [Bleeeeep!] the Dawgs, with Gerberding [Bleeeeep!] on top of the pile.
DJ resigned right before the season started to guarantee one of his guys (Lambo) would be the next head coach.
No nation wide coaching search. That was his way of shoving it back in Gerberding's face.
