you'll have to explain to me when Red Jesus was a college coach in any capacity.

i just want to have realistic expectations so we aren't crushed next spring when SMU announces that it's hiring Yale's former tight ends coach to replace june.

Bring on the fire-breather. Captain no-pulse isn't working.
And if we have to settle for a 'second class' coach why do we think we belong in 'big time fball' any longer. Can you say ' Div.

And that may be the case, but if it is, it's not a rumor I've heard.
Hell naw. Its NEVER happening in football, even w/a fire breather who recruits. The landscape pretty much won't permit it. We had a window in hoops we've seized, but that dies when LB retires, cause Jank has no history at this level. You pocket your resources for a potential Jank buyoutponyboy wrote:He's not a no-pulse guy. He's just wierd, unconventional.

But agreed we need to move on unless something changes dramatically on the talent acquisition front. Basketball -- DONE. Let's now turn all those enormous resources and efforts to football, the bigger sport.

He certainly hasn't been outstanding versus legit competition.
Sure am glad it isn't any of my money involved in paying him 2 million a year for that. Being better than we were for the previous twenty years is a pretty low bar to jump. Shouldn't take 2 million a year to just jump it a bit. If it was any of my money I would be expecting a hell of a lot more than what we have gotten.ponyboy wrote:He's taken us to levels that we had not seen in a couple of three decades.
