Great read on ESPN. Nice to hear from Tommy.

...West presented a plan, which was largely ignored. Memphis fired him after a 2-10 season in 2009, but before exiting, he sounded off about his nine-year "fistfight" in a charged four-and-a-half minute statement. His most memorable line: "Put something in it, or do away with it! One or the other."...

"Today's game, it’s harder to win than it's ever been," he said on Nov. 9, 2009. "If you've got to fight battles around your own program, around your own campus and around your own city, it's hard."...

..."Tommy West did us a remarkable favor by articulating incredibly well the nature of the challenge at the university and for the city," Rudd said. "I didn't see it as bitter. I saw it as incredibly helpful and appropriately blunt."..
