[Husker] Miami hires Golden

[Mark Landin]

Job satisfaction is a subtle, complex, and dynamic calculus. None of
us have the slightest idea what Bo's specific formula is, or how
"satisfied" he is .. Only that he's apparenty happier veing at NU than

or anybody else. Its loony to sit and speculate about such things, and
then draw even more conclusions based on the result of said
speculation.
