Paul was the head coach my freshman and sophomore years.  he was popular with the players who lived in my dorm.
good man.

Yes, everyone raved about him as a good person, and so much was made of his connection born out of being an alum of the program and his time in the pros.  There was a lot to like about him, but Walsh had set the standard, Dowhower had disappointed with a 5-5-1 season, and so Wiggin's consistent losses happened when the program was already impatient for a turnaround.  Once you fire someone for a 5-5-1 record, there is not a lot of patience for someone who is even worse.
