    BTW, a Google search of "Randy Bennett job offers" shows that since the 2011 fiasco with Utah he has turned down Cal and UNLV, and last fall signed a new 10-year contract with St. Mary's. FWIW.

    IIRC, we didnt offer Bennett enough money. He felt lowballed.

    Right! I forgot that narrative. Comrade Crimson swore that it was true. But I also recall that it was Bennett's agent who was pushing that narrative.

There is little of all that we do which the eye of man can see. But we smooth out difficulties; we relieve stress; we correct mistakes; we take up other men's burdens and by our efforts we make possible the peaceful life of men in a peaceful state.”

    I hope it's true, knowing now that Utah was willing to pay top 10 money for a coach.
