Some folks have said he wanted the MU job when Al retired. Fact or fiction, I don’t know.

I heard that too. Never confirmed, I believe, but rumored.

He stole Scooter and Rodney - otherwise it may have been 2 more championships for us.

Story is that Majerus did “bed check” without knocking on Rodney’s door. Inadvertently caught him in an embarrassing situation. That was that.

So would have Raymonds and Majerus. Unfortunately Rodney was a bit too embarrassed to matriculate here after the “incident”.

Huge mistake to promote Raymonds instead of hiring Crum

The Buzz era was simply an extension of the Al / Hank / Rick era.

Though it most resembled the Al era because we won.  A lot.
