I think the idea is that Battle would have made a better interim coach than Dino, especially if he had no desire to take over the head coaching job permanently.
Sure. But that was 9 years ago. The only career move he made was another assistant position.
someone says their alternative fantasy is that if Battle had taken the job, WF would have been better, and it launches a 3-page argument on how old his kid really is
And disputing a person in the know's account of Battle's privately-provided reason of wanting to focus on family during a critical time (which itself was pretty well circulated at the time). Man, wild.

Yes, of course. I just mean that this is the hypothetical people are debating on this threadExcept it's already been well-established that he wasn't interested.
Dino did attempt to strong arm me (directly on the phone), and the boards in general, over getting posts taken down that directly said he had an extramarital affair. He said he would get his lawyer involved if necessary. He said he needed those removed as they popped up on a search for his name and he didn't want lies like that out there as he was looking for a new coaching position. The mods did edit those comments out figuring a charge of slander wasn't worth it since we couldn't prove anything like that to be true.
No physical violence or anything like that was ever communicated towards me in our three phone conversations. So I had that going for me, which was nice.
Dino going public with his accusations of cheating at Louisville.

Report in The Athletic also accuses Mack of running workouts that were in violation of NCAA Covid protocols.

I am sure Chris Mack was the only coach to do this.
Skip would be so proud.
Ronnie's decision to part ways with this clown is starting to look better with age. He still picked a tool to replace him but I would distance myself from Dino too.
Good fire, bad hire.
