Kim goes turncoat on the Stringfellow situation

Over the last few months, Kim has had a few talking points worth revisiting
1) Strngfellow has major anger issues and has been in trouble since he got here
2) Stringfellow transferring would be good for him. A new location is helpful for a kid who has seen nothing but trouble
3) Going around beating up fans of the local football team who are celebrating a Super Bowl victory shows a real lack of intelligence
4) What Stringfellow is accusedof is not a minor issue
Let's compare this to what has been presented by Kim, Mr. Fecesthroat Hoss (who magically turned up again), and their friends
1) Stringfellow is a GREAT kid. CP handled this poorly
2) Stringellow really wanted to come back, loved UW, and was doing everything he needed to do but was misguided by CP
3) Stringfellow's crime was incredibly minor
4) In the cases of Burnett, Pulu, and Middleton it was obvious that they needed to go. Stringfellow, however is a totally different story.
Of course all of this comes from the realm of "I've talked to people who are in the know (I can't tell you who because that's private) and they tell me that CP has really mishandled this whole situation (I can't tell you how because that's private). You have to believe me.

And when it comes to Chris Petersen's "handling of a situation," he's got a 92-12 track record. That earns the right to "prove it" to me before I start questioning whether or not he knows what the fuck he's doing.
Remember, Hoss is the same poster who said we should stop recruiting country kids and we need to recruit guys with feces in their throats.
Don't mistake falling into the trap of status quo as peaking. The "peaker" is someone who isn't smart enough to identify that they need to take on a new challenge or who works at Rick's and offers you a dance and blow on a Friday night.
Anyways I read a good report on Petersen from a Boise beat writer who isn't a total hack. Wrote what to expect from Petersen and one thing he said was be prepared for high profile guys to be leaving. He was like every offseason 1-2 key guys would get the boot. Just trust Petersen as the program always did well.
Much like Pete Carroll in Seattle, every year he cuts a high profile guy. At first fans were calling him an idiot for cutting Housh and it turned out.
Petersen isn't "learning on the job" he has a plan unlike Sark. Also Middleton smoked some weed and was booted. EVERY media guy loved that decision. They said Sark has to set the tone of the program yet aren't giving Petersen the same doubt? Middleton was a higher profile recruit, to that point was more proven and had no ready replacements. Not to mention Sark didn't have near the track record that Petersen had.
Kim's agenda couldn't be more obvious. These guys are bad for the program and the sooner the University cuts ties with him the better the program will be.
When that's your battle cry, just like it is with Petey, you get rid of any and all influences that don't buy into that 110%.
What never ceases to amaze me is how Sark completely misses on that point.
He didn't have Carroll's eye for talent, ability to coach up players, how behind the scenes like you said Carroll preaches team.
Hasselbeck told a story that led to Housh being cut. Carroll had all the offensive players switch chairs just to see if they would follow along. Every player did but Housh he refused. He felt it was stupid and trivial. Three days later he was cut.
You don't boot 5 star athletes for smoking pot, especially if you're Seven win Sark
