Turns out that Lute had a stroke last year and is suffering from depression, explaining his bizarre behavior. An explanation from the Dagger blog on Yahoo! Sports.

So I apologize for my last Lute Olsen post; I should have added that Lute may have had his reasons. And this blogger will try not to go off half-cocked in writing opinion pieces. No, that's not right; when I go off half-cocked, I'll make a point to give some nods to each person's right to live how they want, as long as it's not infringing on another's livelihood.
