...1) As Polk points out in his letter, there can be a "seamless transition" over the course of the season.
...2) In all likelihood, John Cohen or any other candidate coaching at another school will not discuss the job until they are through playing. So, it's pointless to do it at the beginning of SEC play unless there is an agenda. And there is, apparently.
...3) It was done while Polk's buddy LT is still on the watch. Polk knows Byrne is far less likely to hire Raffo with his already established connections to Cohen and Kentucky.
...4) The leadership vacuum at the top. The announcement happens to come at a random point in the season when we happen to have no president.
Very, very slick. And if anyone of you is naive enough to think that Larry Templeton wouldn't hire Raffo for his grand finale *** @*#%%@! of MSU athletics, you're crazy. So the man in the spotlight is Vance Watson. Vance needs to either 1) reassign Templeton immediately, or 2) make sure that Byrne hires who he wants without Templeton and Ron interfering. After all, Byrne is the man who is going to have to deal with the consequences.
