normally i would agree with the "no point in firing him now" course of action. however, howard was supposedly on a "double secret probation" with the only caveat being it wasnt very secret. and he acted violently again. and still nothing.
warde manuel never acts proactively about anything. he sits around and waits for others to act. the easiest course of action is to do nothing, and that's what he does.
they all knew harbaugh was leaving, did they act proactively to contact other potential coaches like other schools do? i dont know, but i would be stunned if they did. now they have a rookie head coach in charge of the school's jewel program and top money maker.
good luck.
they should be making contacts with represenatatives from top coaches right now. the nate oates' of the world. feeling them out. a succession plan should already be in place.
with manuel, he's probably doing what he does best: sitting behind a desk doing nothing. waiting for juwan's contract to run out, which is the worst thing for the program.
