Can you provide for us a first-hand account of Waco Midway DB Shakiel Randolph's playoff performance last week against Denton Ryan? Since you like to talk VERY SPECIFICALLY about certain recruits, I figured you could tell us all the details.

B. As hyper-sensitive as all schools are about recruiting rules, etc., do you really think you are better qualified to counsel the coaches on the boundaries of what is and is not legal communication than the compliance department?
FYI: every coach in every sport is tested on his or her knowledge of compliance rules as they relate to recruiting, and you can bet your last dime that Facebook and Twitter, etc., are gone over in explicit detail, and by all accounts, the new compliance head honcho (whose name I forget -- came from USC, I think) is supposed to be a strict letter-of-the-law guy. If a coach is putting out messages that are out of line, I feel certain the new compliance guy would know about it and either offer advice on what can and can not be said, or instruct the coach to shut it down.

I'm very much aware of the annual tests. Hope compliance is reviewing this practice as we speak and making the necessary adjustments

He has been posting like this for quite awhile, why have you all of a sudden gotten concerned about it?
OK, fine. Well, then I guess if no one is worried about a coach doing something that's borderline given the way he uses social media, then heck with it, I won't worry about it either.
Screw compliance. Back up the truck....let's go.
And then if Reinbold gets slapped for this one day and his accounts become inactive, don't worry about that either. Just go blame the NCAA for being cruel to little ole SMU again.
If that's the way the go-along to get-along crowd operates, then knock yourselves out. It's pretty ridiculous how you guys just want to say nothing is wrong because you're that desperate for the football program to return to respectability. It's either that or something else.
God forbid any one of us would have the nerve to question anything lest we get chastised for speaking treason against his holiness and his staff. We should all be bowing at his altar because he saved us from damnation.
Is that what your telling us? One of you guys said we don't deserve him so that pretty much defines the go-along to get-along crowd mentality.
Look, I've acknowledged that I'm thankful that June restored respectability to our program. We really need that. But I'm not going to walk around with blinders either.
I've spelled out my issues with him and how he conducts business. That's been going on for two years.
Quite frankly, he doesn't care about what any of his supporters or opponents think. He's only concerned about the Dr. Turner, Steve Orsini and the Circle of Champions think.
So the debate over the Jones administration will likely continue.
