Re: Time Warner is not the problem

[Dan Marshall]

No one said huggins wasn't a mid major coach, and no one said that Cronin
wouldn't do well.

The point was, Everyone was saying we would get a MAJOR coach/name to
replace him...

Let's not rewrite history 

Also... When huggins was picked it was all we could get... Kind of like this
time.

Again... I believe in Cronin, just think the the situation isn't what some
on here seem to want to admit

Wasn't Bob Huggins a mid major coach when we hire him? Is Akron even at the
level of mid-major?
