Personally, I would hope that he would keep some personal contact and I would understand if he kept professional contact with the players. The man has to make a living and his largest assets are his knowledge and relationships. As I mentioned in one of my first posts, I liked RD because in my direct conversations with him it was evident that he wanted to coach and win at LU. With that being said, he is gone and we have a great coach in RMK. I do not care if RD takes players away from last year's team if he gets a new coaching job. If someone leaves, they will be the one/s missing out, not the team, the school, or the fans. While I am excited about the players that are coming back, I am more excited about the direction of the program. There may be a disappointment or two if someone leaves, but there is not a single player that is going to change the optimism going into the RMK era.

Let me say this: RD lied to these kids. He sold them on a Liberty University that did not exist. He told BJ he wouldn't have to cut his hair and that convo was an occasional thing that basketball players didn't have to go to. He lied to fans (me in particular). I'm sorry if you don't like it, but after the way he treated a lot of people, this is just karma kicking him square in the butt.

It's a great day to be a Flame.
RD read that.

Nice to see ya still lurking.

Hope things are going good.

Good luck in the job search.

And I'm completely serious.
