He promised Tommy the job if he ever left. He couldn't deliver. He knows he screwed Raffo and basically lied to him. It made him look bad. Raffo's career is so fugged up now it's tragic. And Polk knows he is to blame.
I agree also that Tommy should have cut the apron strings for a while and proved himself somewhere, ala Patty Mac, then came back and been the heir apparent.
Polk is mental because he knows he hurt Raffo more than anything or anyone else. Byrne and Cohen are good scapegoats to blame it on.
I also agree with the post about the former player. I camped and planned to walk on at State. Shoulder surgery prevented that. The way he's acting goes against every thing he preached on. This ain't the Coach I met and talked with on many occasions. This is a man I truly believe is having a mental or nervous breakdown. People close to him need to intervene.
