When you say politician are you inferring Manny is basing decision on who give him the biggest kickback? They only make decisions based on money or power, unless you are a Bush and it is a war decision, then it is emotion.
Let’s talk rational. Manny is a product of FSU. Mark, the coach, is a product of the same institution. Bowden prided himself on not losing asssistants to other school. His people were his people and the stayed and stayed regardless of how many last second field goals were missed. Mark clearly felt the same way, save Kool, who did jump ship. Hgihering people is hard and takes effort. I don’t know Manny at all, after all he is a nole and I avoid them. He might believe these dude are the finest available candidates and him being buddies with them is just an accident. Or maybe loyalty and getting along as a team is a control parameter in the hiring process. Wins and losses will tell the story.
