Very good points. However, my understanding is that their patience is the thinnest with the AD. They have liked the integrity and hard nosed attitude Charlie has brought. And I understand he has been open with the right guys after learning UT is a different world than anywhere he's been in terms of the players (not talking about the ones on the field). I think he will be given the 3 years WNCIP talks about. Hopefully the program will have advanced by then and we will not have had further attrition. Patterson, however, may not be so lucky. He is frantically trying to mend fences but a lot of those guys are old school. They don't forget and aren't as quick to forgive either.
