“Allowed” probably isn’t the right word. I’m sure the admins wanted the Hawaii vacation, too.

There’s the rub. Hiring Johnson made it immaterial anyway. We could’ve beaten Penn State by 50 in front of 25,000 USM fans in Dallas, and we’d still be right the fudge where we are today. On the flip side, had we hired somebody who’d kept things rolling, it’d be all but forgotten by now as we’d be on to better things.
