the info revealed about what occurred at Bama obviously was known in the coaching community and to Mario. this confirms Mario's level of desperation (to use a word) and how Mario had struck out with more viable/acceptable candidates, that he had to hire a person with such bad judgment/poor character, something that betrays what Mario preaches.
This, 100%. Regardless of what happened here, this entire ****show is all on Mario. Always has been.
