why do what the current players think matter that much?

As for as gathering them and letting them know first who the coach is would have been great. I would hope Benford has or will meet with them before the press conference. But as for the timing of the announcement yesterday, I would not have wanted a guy penalized for having to leave class for a meeting, especially when they are trying to maintain eligibility. Some profs don't allow somebody to leave class after it starts, and will count them absent if they do. We have made great strides in athletics over the past few years, but we have only taken only baby steps with what still is an apathetic faculty when it comes to athletics.

Good points.

I guess a part of me still wants to live 20 years ago where there wasn't such a media frenzy. AD introduces coach to players , meeting ensues , everyone gets on board and then you let the media know. It just doesn't happen like that anymore.
