Rick Hart

[CalallenStang]

Nothing be says on twitter is going to change anything. Publicly calling out a lame duck coach does nothing. I realize everyone here likes to blindly blast Rick Hart for no reason but come on

I don't think he needs to call anything out. Tweeting "Tough loss, but the Mustangs never quit fighting. We'll do better next week" wouldn't call anyone out.

I just think he should publicly acknowledge that we lost. Only tweeting out after positive events is cowardice. And I'm a huge Rick Hart defender.

And if he tweeted that, he would get ripped for being a sunshiner and putting a positive spin on a terrible performance.

You are probably right about that. Sad.

I thought it was an interesting juxtaposition between Butch Jones at Tennesee (who Rick's dad hired) and June on Sunday night. Walking into the stadium, Butch was high fiving fans, shaking hands, taking pictures with them, and getting them pumped up. During an interview pre-game he said "we're an emotional football team" and he was out there chest bumping players after big plays. At the end of the third quarter, the Vols sprinted from one end of the field to another. Even coming off of a 5-7 season and what will likely be a similar result this year, Butch Jones probably has a 90%+ approval rating in the state right now because:

(1) He's recruiting at a high level and giving fans hope for the future,
(2) He's very visible and engaging with the fans, and
(3) You can tell his players love playing for him.

How many of those things can you say about June? I think the impact Butch Jones has had at Tenneseee should give Rick Hart an idea of what we need here. Someone who engages the fanbase and the community, someone who recruits well and gives fans hope, and someone who lights a fire under his players to play with a passion.

Teams typically play with the same attitude as their coach. June is lax, team is typically always lax.

Need Lobster-Boy calling the plays.
