I think people should sit back remember the real reason an athlete goes to college is an education.

I don't believe this is true for a majority of D1 football players, almost all D1 basketball players and a reasonable number of D1 baseball players.

You don't hear students betch because professors leave for greener pastures.

A professor is usually a one semester interaction. A coach and his style will have a three or four your impact on the student-athlete's profession.

Besides, when looking at the big picture these issues only surface when pompous programs hire pompous coaches.

Yep, look at the history of the program and hiring within the program and chances are you make a good decision.

Pick the college and the program, not the coach. Chances are if a good coach leaves a good program (not under the hot light of an NCAA investigation) chances are the next hire will be a good one.
