I'm going as crazy as anyone over the current plight of our team. Love our guys, support them beyond reason and wish them nothing but the best.
But I have to draw the line at trash-talking Copeland. The guy has done a bang-up job since he arrived on the Hilltop. Hopefully he'll be as successful on his next project of identifying a coach that can build a championship team here as he did in his last major project -- building Ford Stadium.
Remember, Copeland is limited by the cards he's dealt. Academic standards for one. Good college coaches are going for over a $ million a year these days. And what great coach is going to want to leave a successful program to turn around a program in dire straights such as ours.
It's going to take a special coach who's committed for the long term and big bucks to bring him here.
