Not to disrespect your expressed opinions, but I think anyone who has such extensive cheating in his program should be fired. I don't care how long he has been around. It isn't like this is his first scandal at Free Shoes University. I personally believe that he is about as slick as they get and that football would be better off without him.

I agree, and out of curiousity, which would you consider worse from a program perspective, cheating on this scale or the coach high fiving a players helmet? |

I'm with Steve.
This isn't Bowdens first go around with institutionalized cheating, its just the biggest and latest. He's always run about as shady a program as you could get away with. He has always been good at plauisble deniability.

Actually, I happen to think that any coach nice enough to congratulate a player on an opposing side with a high five should be retained forever, as a token of respect to good sportsmanship.
