Do you think that you whining about other people whining makes you better than the initial whiners?

Because it doesn’t. Just a different annoyance and drag on the board.

So, now I am tired of the people whining about the people whining about the people whining about wanting Freeze. It goes on and on and on.

BAAMMMMMMM!!!
HOME RUN!

We basically re-hired Sal Sunseri but this time we gave him the head coaching job.
You can’t make this up.

It sure appears that way. What happened to the development in the one area of expertise of Jeremy's? It looked like it was happening last season with a strong move into the top 30 on total D. Now where are they - tied with Purdue at #60. Because we lost Bituli and Taylor? C'mon. Or is it because we lost quality assistant coaches who helped develop the D to top 30 and hired jokes to replace them? We let an All Freshman SEC first team ILB lose 10-15 pounds he needed to make plays inside, so he could run around and look lost, so he could feel like he was faster. Great. Well done, Jeremy. Now go over to the O and pet #2 some more so the team can lose yet again.

Exactly. Dooley was a nothing La Tech HC they gave the AD title to so he could make more money. Botch followed Kelly, who had made Cincy. All Botch did was change a few pass routes of Kelly's O. Jeremy was not sought by any P-5 program to be their HC. He made no short lists anywhere. So many panic hires by AD's along the way from Hamilton caving on Phil. You can tell how panicked they were by how many times they chased Gundy, the HC who loses to his in-state rival Okie 14/16 times.

As fans we buy into the hype and want to believe in our new HC/staff. That's not a bad thing, we are fans. The bad thing is on UT/major boosters for selling shiz as prime steak.

Pruitt will inevitably be looked at as a bad hire, but I wouldn’t say it was a panic hire.

Fulmer took his time in NYC with Pruitt, Tucker and Steele.

much easier to do when you have nfl talent. im not convinced we are that talented.

If you run a two/three wide set, you better have game changer type WR's. we dont.

It is hard for a WR to be a game changer when the opportunity on the field is so limited. From what I could find JG has played in 41 games and has 6,174 yards passing. That is 150 yards passing a game. Maybe the receivers haven't been the greatest but how many times have we seen guys running open and they do not get thrown the ball or the ball is late? Our offense has been putrid for a long time and it is kind of unbelievable.

He isn’t close to a +1 handicap. I think he careered it the day he shot 71 in that Korn Ferry event.

It's an ego thing with him. My handicap is 6 and I'm 72 years old and been playing the game for 50 years. I know at least 15 guys around here, who are scratch golfers, that would play him heads up for $1000 a hole and clean his clock. This dude is no where near a +1.

I know people would flip out, but you have to let the HC hire people he is comfortable with. Clemson does that a lot. Their new WR coach was a GA last year, their safties coach came there from Grayson high school. DT's coach came from Jax St, DE's coach came from Ensworth, Elliott from Furman, Streeter from Liberty. I know a lot of those guys played there, but they all seem to buy in to what they are doing and can just coach.

In about 947 years when the aliens come to visit us after humans have killed themselves to extinction there will be remnants of the past they will read such as "how not to run a football program: 900 years of incompetence" with a big power T on the book cover.

Let us hope our little green friends don't make the same mistake we did.

Arkansas just stopped paying Bielma his buyout and claimed he didn’t make a significant effort to gain high paid employment.

I wonder if Butch’s contract language didn’t make that possible for us. (It may not even be possible for Arkansas. Bielma filed a lawsuit)

But still, it’s interesting

They’re going to end up paying the entire buyout PLUS damages. Ours ends in February. Just pay yo damn bills!
