It is funny though. Who cares of anyone liked him here. They paid him to the amount of a top 10 coach and gave his daughter a free education. Any of us have bosses that dont know our name or care about us but ya know what? They pay us and keep food on the table and a roof over my head so regardless any boss I have had I have respected. Being in charge now my employees are my employees. If they dont do their job they get fired. It is that simple. Why should college coaches or athletes be held to a different standard when they get paid a heck of a lot more than most of us. If Crean won consistently here then we wouldnt be having this convo. If John missed the playoffs 5 years out of 9 he would be in jeopardy of losing his job as well. Jim is the only one who has an argument but the Niners wanted to go in a different direction and he sure didnt mind interviewing for other jobs before then as well. I understand being upset but other than that there is no need to take shots at our university.

There's defending your family, then there is throwing a tantrum at people who can't and won't fight back. The three millionaires need to be graceful, walk away, and go about their business.

Meh. The Harbaughs have always struck me as whiny so I'm not too surprised. Crean knew the expectations when he came here. IU gave him 9 years (6-7 after the rebuild, depending on how you feel about year 3) to meet those expectations. He didn't, so IU sent him on his way. IU is better off because of Tom Crean, and the Crean family is better off because of IU. It was just time for the two to go their separate ways. Nothing personal, strictly business.
