You know, the belief that if you drop a cookie on the floor, you have five seconds before it is contaminated with, well, icky stuff.
In K.al's case, same deal with Greg Roman: he was only an assistant coach and at Stanford for only four years, after which he was dipped in an NFL sanitizing bath. Should be good to go, with no lingering elitist aftertaste.
What's funny about Cyberbears is that they are SO picky in their misery. They want to get rid of a coach who had an immediate impact, got the team into Rose Bowl contention and since then has just sort of gotten less and less effective. But they refuse to consider a coach "tainted" at Stanford who had a shakey start, but whose teams just got better and better over time and whose team actually played in a Rose Bowl.
I think it's SO cute the way they keep talking about Chris Petersen. Kinda like the goofy, pimply teenager who has a crush on the cheerleader prom queen. If she only knew how good he was at Assassin's Creed 2 for Xbox, she'd agree immediately to go to the prom with him and probably snog on the first date.
Of course, what if in some fantasy land, our geeky kid was the only teen guy in town? That scenario might work out for them.
What IF Greg Roman has a burning desire to be a head coach and believes he'd be really good at it if given the chance? What if K.al offered, even at a below-market price?  I'd hate to see that experiment even run. He might be a really good head coach. In other words, K.al wouldn't deserve him. But, they hired Gilbertson, who was a pretty good OC and a terrible head coach, so maybe they'd look at Roman, notice that he is as weight-challenged as Gilbertson was, and opt for New Mexico St.'s head coach instead.
