How much of this is public record and how much of this is speculation? Was there a press conference where Bohl talked about this discussion with TB?
My sense is we are all on the outside here and looking at an incomplete puzzle without the full picture. We don't know why TB did what he did, we just know the result and then some folks try to fit what we see with a narrative.
For me, I'm a compete athletic department outsider who is looking at results.....TB hires bad coaches so he hired a bad coach...pretty much fits what I've seen from him. I don't know why he does what he does so I don't traffic in that.
For some, TB has a purpose on this earth to destroy UW athletics and every seemingly bad decision is actually a resounding personal success in his dastardly mission.
