I assume this is ok because it's on the correct message board.
"I worked for him a year at Cincinnati. That second year, even though he wasn't the head coach Andy Kennedy and I stayed in daily contact with him. I can tell you that the one frustrating thing in his life, professionally, was that in 2002 he could not take that West Virginia job. That really bothered him. When we came here, I knew the only school that could get his interest was West Virginia. When I heard that Beilein had took the Michigan job, I thought it would be open and shut. But then his ties had become so strong that he could not say no to Dr. Wefald.
"He looked worse that morning when he told me he was taking the West Virginia job than he did the morning he told us he was going to resign at Cincinnati."
