Come on. There was zero chance Moos was not firing Miles. This article won't have a damn thing to do with it. The criteria was established, not met, and we move on. I've never seen such a bunch of overthinking in my life as this board.
No one is claiming not keeping Riggins is the cause of Miles not making it. The only issue is that the Department has been doing some strange, inconsistent, and selective shit for a few years. It further shines light on Eichorst's banishment of anyone who ever said so much as hello to Bo Pelini. This University is still not completely functional and working in sync at the highest levels. Hopefully that can get improved in the future.
