Clearly all the rumors (Harper, Brown, et al) are true. It was all part of Snyder' detailed plan. A few years ago, he decided to "retire" and let someone else take the reins for a few years while he went out and recruited without being subject to NCAA regs (ala huggins). He just had to wait til the time was right to jump back in. His brilliant, attention to detail master plan is coming together.
Bill "Hannibal Smith" Snyder: "I love it when a plan comes together."
