There were plenty of rumors on campus that some of those seniors had given up on DD.
I love Don Donoher like everybody else but I think it was definitely time to go at that point. He was certainly clouded by his own son being on the team and giving him minutes he did not deserve...probably a spot on the team he didn't deserve either. And if any coach could have gone to the NCAA that year why did Donoher struggle the year before? Not saying JOB was any good because I hated the hire then as i still do, but maybe it was more of a change was what was needed at the time.

Not sure I would say Negel didn't live up to his expectaions until his fifth year. His stats seem pretty good the other three years as well.
