What nonsense. These guys have been splitting allegiances since Pop Warner. To Carrington, it's a business. Like him or not, that's his approach, just as it is for his former teammates. He made a business decision, and they'll accept that, and then do everything to beat his butt come Oct. 28. The NFL illusion is a powerful elixir. You're incredibly naive, or just another drooling fanboy, to believe otherwise.
Interesting that you point to the Altman litmus test yet won't apply it to the new coach's own hires. But, hey, that would require research, huh? As I recall, you worked in radio, where research amounted to folding the morning paper just right to make it easier to read over the air without rustling the pages.
