Well, that ain't what I intended, nor what President Fred intended either!
 
If Walsh's mistakes were excusable, why can't it be because of his skills
as head coach, honesty, willingness to change, etc. (if this is the case)?
 
... (just a pause, so some can recover from that laughing fit) ...
 
I don't care to argue appropriate punishments for Shawn Walsh and U
Maine (at least in public), but suggesting Fred Hutchinson has no
backbone or that he wouldn't always act in the best interests of the
University as a whole ...  is, IMHO, to show you don't know the man.
