If he pulled a Nick Saban and said he would stay and then leaves, I would take issue with that, but him just leaving isn't wrong to me.<BR/><BR/>I want him to stay but wouldn't wish ill will on him if he left, what he contributed to in 2006 gives him saint status in my eyes, no matter what he decides to do.Christopherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17749591461568000090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31210278.post-26304544194889703932008-03-27T06:33:00.000-04:002008-03-27T06:33:00.000-04:00Coach L. is very happy at Mason, and beloved by our university president. It would be very surprising, at 58, to see him depart for any jobs. I think we'll be seeing Larranaga on the Mason sidelines for another 5-10 years, unless maybe, a chance to get an ACC gig comes up before he's ready to retire (referencing his early days at UVA).Brannman.
