All has been said about Ansley...has everyone read part 1 and part 2 of the "Wes" interview w/CDD? What's the opinion? He seemed pretty transparent - and finally accepted some responsibility for all of the circumstances. Also, I'd have liked a more detailed question/response to CDD "losing the team" at the end of the season - and how CDD will insure #1, that he has the team "back"...and #2, that this will never happen again. Why did it happen - and what did he learn? And the answer, that "...when you're winning this goes away" is not acceptable. Because you can be winning against certain opponents - but not the "right" (SEC) opponents....? This needs to "go away" whether a team is winning or not...disrespect of assistant coaches, senior leadership or other players NOT ALLOWED.
