What Turner and Most of The Board Thinks of Baylor

Postby Puckhead48E » Mon May 30, 2016 12:16 am

So true! I was just reading a great article about this. Turns out, best way to find a better job is to talk about how little you value your current company and how much you'd give up to find a better group of co-workers...at work. Turns out, it's conducive to success to take a steaming dump on work, while at work.

Also works great if you ask your current girlfriend for tips on getting a hotter one. They love that [deleted].

Look, I agree the link does not work well but even this computer illiterate can go to the link, click on colleges and then scroll to the article.

Turner goes through the motions and I agree, that he reluctantly does that to satisfy the few aging high dollar boosters to whom football is very important. But that does not describe a leader who is determined to put us back on the map in football. I'm not trying to bash the man, but I also think it is fair to say that of you want to see our program be elite again, it probably is not going to happen until there is a change in leadership

When June came in and wanted relaxed academic standards for athletes, Turner said OK. As Stallion has pointed out and I think this still holds true, we haven't turned down any kids for academic reasons that have immediately enrolled at another FBS school since 2008. New athlete-friendly majors? Done.

This thread is four pages. You know what? We deserve this election.

If the election lasts for more than 4 hours call a doctor. Probably best to get one from Cox. He will know what to do.

1) last week, Dale Hanson said on 105.3 that Juen had offered a player who was rejected by SMU and ended up at Stanford.

2) June told the story to a bunch of people that he was the first to offer Jonny football as a QB, had a soft verbal commitment, but had to rescind the offer after JM got a DWI.

Take those stories for what they were worth. On one had, they came from June. On the other hand, he had a horrible relationship with recruiting services, so I wouldn't be surprised if he had players offered that nobody knew about.

Either way, there were still some holes in the way athletes were supported academically on campus. LB and CM got those filled in so there aren't any issues anymore I don't think... beyond the Provost being able to do what they want to do.

Yes. 15 years after the DP, Turner loosened academic standards for athletes to be on par with every other division one school, including the likes of Stanford, Vanderbilt, and Wake Forest. I would not say that going from one hand tied behind your back resulting in 15 years of losing football to same as every other university a commitment to winning on the highest level.

I would also say that a school that is committed to winning at the highest level would have fired June Jones after he interviewed and accepted another coaching job. Heck Boston College fired a coach for interviewing for a pro job! Boston College! Or maybe fire him before he checks out, stops recruiting, runs the program into the ground and resigns two games into a season.

Fixed it for the ultimate June Jones apologist.

June was a scatter-brained fool who wasn't much involved in recruiting. There is no guy that SMU recruited and denied admission that got into Stanford. He is obviously thinking about the UCLA kid-guess what he didn't get into UCLA either and never played a down at Washington St. Nevertheless, he was offered admission to SMU based on the same criteria as UCLA eventually offered-2 remedial credit courses in a semester. The Johnny Manziel story is fantasy invented by a failed, wash-up Coach designed to make himself look relevant as once the big schools came in he never much looked at SMU. But thanks JasonB for once again sucking up to the laziest recruiting head coach in College Football

When momentum starts rolling downhill in recruiting-WATCH OUT.

Do you have any idea how much drive it takes to get up to go play golf everyday and then fill in a little football time too?

I bet when he gets that High School paycheck every two weeks he's gotta look twice at it
