So probably we will end with Roper, what a big difference for him and Rice.

Is there no Bloomgren?

I understood junrice to be saying that Roper was the likely runner-up for the job, so us taking Bloomgren meant Kurt got fired instead of landing here and that Bloomgren is going to turn out much better for us than Roper would have. No argument from me on those.

If there were Bloomgren, we would have to invent him.

The number of coaches have not been fired is very small. The two greatest of our time (Saban and Belichek) both have been fired and both will be unanimous first time eligible hall of famers. It just goes with the territory.....

I don't know much about either but, superficially, I'd definitely take the guy who the employer definitely wants to keep VS the guy who got fired

It is nice that we have finally moved away from hiring guys that nobody else wants like Braun, Greenspan, Bailiff etc... none of them are still coaching/working after being fired from Rice.

Braun and Greenspan were already over the hill when we hired them. Baliff was subject to the Peter Principle in that he wound up above his level as a HC at 1A program.
