...you did a great job and stayed faithful to that company even though you had offers to go somewhere else. Then one day, your boss retires and instead of you being promoted to the position that you earned and deserve, the company hired a dumba$$ from a non-power 5 conference instead.

Now you understand how Bud Foster felt. I don't care what Coach Foster said 3-4 years ago. He felt like he got a raw deal. And he did. Inside he said screw it, cashed in four more years of salary and gave up on the job. I don't blame him.

Do you want to know why we are where we are now. Because morons didn't give Bud the chance he deserved.

Some fool will reply to this post and explain why promoting Bud was a bad idea. Don't waste your time. If you are incapable of seeing that Bud earned a shot above this clown we have now then I won't bother replying to you.

Sure, if we could have nicked a Nick Saban or Urban Meyer or someone from that ilk, ok. Sorry Bud, they are just too good to pass up. But we passed on the best DC to ever DC the game for someone who has done irreparable damage to our team.
