What I don't get: Why does a guy cut his vacation short to fly home to tell his boss, coaches, and players that he is staying? Sure, I get doing that to say you are leaving, but seem silly to say you are staying, unless it is a last ditch effort to get your AD to get off his ass.
he probably flew home to tell the AD he is leaving...............................
(as he's walking out the AD's door) "What if we quit being tight wads and paid you more"
(Painter pauses, grins, turns back around and sits down) "Open up the check book son"
