I'm pretty sure that the AD called Dennis Erickson to get a recommendation about Lappano and Dennis said "what about me?" IIRC Lappano's name was brought up when Erickson LEFT, not when Erickson was hired. |

Pretty sure it was the Wells Fargo Center in Tempe, not the McKale Center in Tucson....but it's a good little anecdote.

Oh man, that was the worst idea ever. I don't think that was a bullet we dodged because I don't think it ever got out of the gun. Thankfully. He spoke at a booster get together after DE left selling himself. There was support I will say. Whatever we want to say about Lappano, (even if it was in his own self-interest), he stepped up to the microphone and showed some enthusiam for Beaver Nation at a time of deep depression. I don't think I or anyone else wants to experience a downer like that again. That was a brutal atmosphere--the worst I ever felt at a Beaver function. If not for him, I think a lot of attendees would have walked over to the Lloyd Center and walked into the oncoming traffic. |
