Then we are truly the Philbin Bunch!
Gaine played at the University of Maine which at the time was coached by none other than Kirk Ferentz. So why is this a Philbin connection you ask?
Philbin and Ferentz coached together at the University of Iowa. Philbin coached under Ferentz.
I am really getting sick and tired of every hire having a past connection with Philbin. Lazor was a great hire and NO CONNECTION to Philbin. I understand that you have to have some connections in life and use them. But it is just like Ireland picking up every Cowboy castaway. At some point in time you have to say ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
If Gaine is hired I am ok with it IF he is the best candidate out there. But IF Lake Dawson is better at his job then hire him. Only caveat there is he has the Peterson Connection.
Ross needs to man up. He has screwed up this GM search by not being able to even get an interview with Gamble or McCloughan who were the 2 best available. If getting the BEST GM meant getting rid of Aponte then he should have done just that. He keeps trying to show loyalty but at some point in time he has to realize this is a business. If you have a property that is falling apart do you continue to try and salvage it? At what point in time do you bring in the bulldozers and wrecking crew to blow crap up and start fresh.
