[QUOTE="iopjacket, post: 843263, member: 114"] Our Athletic Department needs to learn from the steps that former AD Homer Rice made after hiring Bill Lewis after Bobby Ross left to coach the San Diego Chargers. OC Ralph Friedgen said that he and DC George O’Leary wouldn’t follow Ross if either one was made head coach. Neither had head coaching experience, so Rice made what he thought was a safer choice in hiring Lewis. It wasn’t long before Rice recognized that Lewis wasn’t up to the job, and hired George O’Leary as DC in the summer of 1994. O’Leary became interim HC before the end of the season. Friedgen returned to GT as OC in 1997 and the rest is history. Bill Lewis who lives in infamy today only coached two full seasons and 7 games, because Homer Rice accepted his mistake and corrected it in a timely manner. Homer Rice in some manner was able to get Bill Lewis to resign as Head Coach and accept another position in the Athletic Department. Lewis appeared to be happy with the change. [/QUOTE]
