The bolded print above is where you and I part ways. I think I made myself very clear that I refuse to throw these people under the bus "because I know they mean more to LA Tech's long term success than some lousy I-Bowl against NLU in Shreveport". Their intentions were good.
At times like this, you have to take a big picture approach. To not do so could result in you cutting off your nose to spite your face. But just remember that these decisions are rarely --if ever-- made in a vacuum. That's the point.
