My thoughts are completely in line with Tornados... initially I was skeptically because of RN's 51 violations at Colorado, but they were trying to make an example of him in regards to "bumping" during off days and went to town... check out this article:

Even Barnett, who suffered the consequences, said these penalties were very minor and Neuheisel was cited because he wanted people to know how commonplace this minor behavior was. "It happens so much that you're at a disadvantage if you don't," Barnett said. That is not to justify it, but the number "51" is blown out of proportion and RN was a very young HC at the time.
As for the U-Dub betting pool, we all know that was bogus and RN won $4.5M to prove his point.
RN has quickly become my favorite candidate as I looked into the substance of these allegations... It's also worth considering the fact that CJT is more likely to stay on as DC if RN is hired rather than Muschamp or Edsall.
Neuheisal + Tenuta + Giff Smith could be a formidable combination...
