We had and still have a shot at a real coach: Terry Bowden (PROVEN RECRUITER). Hopefully, Orsini comes to his senses and realizes that Turner doesn’t know [deleted] about football. Just because you guys have been demoralized by Cavan/Bennett type hires over the years doesn’t mean you have to settle for a glorified high school option coach (WHO IS AN UNPROVEN RECRUITER!!!!!!!). Forget what you think about me personally, who is with me on this?
