Frankly, nothing has ACTUALLY changed really.I agree, but plenty of folks knew for over a decade that Steve wasn't a good leader. I know Pitt said all the right things about Steve's departure ("he was great", "it's the situation", etc), but the change in the way things have gone so far tell a different story. Up until the uniform issue, they have pretty much done everything well.
Only the perception, because some tend to only view things in a Jaundiced Eye when SP was around.
Like I've said for years, he could have been fired long ago, and I wouldn't have blinked an eye.....
but the fundamental problems facing athletics have not changed.
