Going after Hart makes no sense. He inherited coach, the FB staff and situation. At season's end, let's hold him accountable for what to do next. And, yes, I agree that this loss was a real embarrassment.

Gilbert might perform better, but I have lost confidence in JJ. His lack of passion (outside the locker room) and lack of engagement on campus/with the fans speaks volumes.

I think I can handle one more coaching staff. If we don't get our act together with the next group I will have to just calk it quits. At least bball is on its way.

I'm not going after Hart--he inherited this coaching staff.

This staff is now his responsibility, at least from an org chart perspective. Hart now has the opportunity to do a lot of good and I hope he does.

Hart spelled Hart means Deer and not Heart. It's another word for deer.

Unless they are flooded with emails, letters, calls by the thousands, Hart and President Turner will probably not do anything.

They do not need any more than the number of season ticket holders if they are sent by the right people. If you do send a message and you are a season ticket holder you need to point this out.

Mrydel is on fire with his cogent analysis in all aspects today.

Etymology for the curious:
O.E. heorot "hart, stag, male deer," from P.Gmc. *herut- (cf. O.S. hirot, O.Fris., Du. hert "stag, deer," O.H.G. hiruz, O.N.hjörtr, Ger. Hirsch "deer, stag, hart"), perhaps from PIE root *ker- "horn" (cf. L. cornu "horn," cervus "deer," Welshcarw "deer"). Now, a male deer after its fifth year.

WP I don't think anyone is advocating firing him now but I do think they believe after the season is over with that a change need to happen.

86, I advocate firing jj before he steps foot back in dallas. I do not place any blame on Hart. He inherited this loser.
