Meh, Vitello talks out of both sides of his mouth. Seems to be making a compliment, followed immediately with an excuse or rationalization. Glad he turned the offer down. Not the Aggie style at all (meaning it's inconsistent with our values).
Values? We don't have "values"...we are NO DIFFERENT than anyone else. We hired our previous baseball coach knowing full well the kind of person he is, but we didn't care. We knew he could deliver a winner and we willingly looked the other way and did not care one thing about it until he left us for a prettier girlfriend.
Vitello is a helluva baseball coach and he doesn't have a...um..."questionable" personal life and baggage to drag around like our previous coach. I wish a thousand times over we had hired him last summer - he's arguably the best college baseball coach in the nation.
But don't give me this schtick about "values". That ship sailed out of College Station a long, long, long time ago.
But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:31 (NIV)
