As he stepped to the podium for his shortest post-game press conference in the nine seasons I’ve covered him, Old Dominion football coach Bobby Wilder smiled and said: “How are you doing gentlemen?”
Then he added. “Better than me I expect.”
Yes, we’re all doing better than Wilder. I can’t imagine a more difficult place for him to be right now.
Last month, the Monarchs outplayed Virginia Tech in the second half and Virginia in the first half and lost both games.
ODU came oh-so-close to beating two ACC teams on the road and had they done so, Wilder would be the toast of the town.
