Look, I have a job and do a lot of travelling for a living. I am not glued to this board 24-7 like some people.
It was never my intention to be a negative doom and gloomer for no reason. I will also admit that Orsini proved me wrong on one point and one point only - he got more than a table scrap. I never expected him to be able to get Jones, especially after he said he wasn't interested. I guess I am no longer Supreme Leader.
However I was the first to break the news that Jones had been hired when everyone was screaming that he was about to screw SMU. I have not been wrong - except on my prediction that SMU would get table scraps. I am more than happy to be wrong on that. But it wasnt a battle between anyone except between Orsini and Jones. If Jones had gone back to Hawaii, SMU would have gotten table scraps and Orsini would be a big goat. You would all be calling for his head.
Let's all hope recruiting standards have been changed once and for all so that we can compete on a level playing field.
