I think his outburst confirmed that he has a ball of seething rage in his gut every day about being in the big 12, that will resurface with every problem. He is not in a position to help them move forward and succeed where they are.
His non apology on Sunday just confirmed that he refuses to step back and reassess their position.
Maybe we want him to stay because his inabilities will make it more difficult for Utah, but I still think the Utah president will be smart to have Harlan move on.
