Apparently, Wickline and Strong just concocted this money-saving scheme on their own and Patterson had nothing to do with it? Seems probable. Got it. Now our head coach gets deposed, our OL coach is on the hook financially and our most important position coach will be spending time during the season getting coached up by his attorneys and traveling to Oklahoma instead of building out the rubble of our offensive line. Even if we win, we've lost. And if we lose, we really lose. Somehow, Patterson will see it as a victory that Wickline has to cover the bill.
Anyone want to loan me a crayon so I can explain cost-benefit analysis to our new AD?
