Warde is not the guy you want in charge right now. It shouldn't have even gotten this far. The statement he put out today, referencing ``respect for the NCAA's process'', is a move in the wrong direction. That statement should have been far more aggressive. The NCAA punches those who don't punch back.
The good thing is, there's time. I'm probably putting too many eggs in the New President Likes Sports basket, but Warde's track record of managing reputational crises like this one is pretty clearly terrible, and Ono didn't hire him or give him that incredibly awful extension. Further, Jim Harbaugh is now the Jim Harbaugh we thought we were getting, and needs to be retained. Under no circumstances do I want Warde leading a coaching search. Fire Warde and give Jim a say in who replaces him.
