As always, a well written column. I just finished “Three and Out”, and while this might not be the right forum to discuss the book, I will say that it really made an impression on me, particularly with regard to what the players and coaches (and their families) endured during that period.

What the book did not answer to my satisfaction – perhaps because there is no satisfactory answer – is “why”. As in for what purpose did the faction working so hard against the program even exist. There is no obvious upside, only the suffering inflicted on everyone (players, coaches, and fans) during that period.
