There are multiple sides to every story, and someday you could write a book on this one. One one hand, you can't discount the hard work he did here for 3 years above and beyond what any other coach would/could do. He had us one second from a national championship, something we would have laughed at 10 years ago, and made us see what is possible. We're on the map and have results and potential. Sold out the Sugar Bowl. Things have never been better for UC football.
On the other hand, he left so fast the door didn't have time to hit him on the way out. He doesn't owe the fans squat, but to lie to his players, not even thank UC in his press conference, and tell his team on the way out thanks for making my trip to ND possible is narcissistic. He might be the greatest actor I've ever seen, which makes it that much harder on those young men. This never should have overshadowed their accomplishments and the biggest bowl in UC history. I find it hard not to blame BK for that.

That being said, next man in! There are plenty of great coaches being interviewed, we're in fertile recruiting territory, the BE is a great conference, and with luck both football and basketball will remain ranked, allowing us to dig out of the financial hole we're in. Still a great time to be a Bearcat! GO CATS and eat some Gator in NO!
