Green Dog

So by support, you mean that you are a member of the Mean Green Club or donate to athletics in another way? Not attacking if your not, just asking.

The problem is that this fan base wants a Neiman Marcus product at a Wal-Mart price. 1% of the fan base definitely carries this program.

Because the experts here at GMG would not think he has a "high basketball IQ", so that disqualifies him. And, OMG, Tony might have left!

And the other edge of the sword is we don't have the money to hire the "sure thing" to begin with either. Not any hire is a sure thing, but the odds for success would be greater. Yes we have increased the amount we pay coaches, but compared to other programs that we want to be like (not talking about the ones in our conference and their budgets, but some of the other mid majors) we are still behind. If we had $750K to $1 million to pay a head football coach, then I don't think Mac would be the guy. Conversely, if we had say $650K to pay a BB head coach, Benford certainly would not have been the first choice.

Coach Benford sure has enjoyed the peace and quiet since our loss at WKU on Saturday followed by the changes in Conference USA. Go Mean Green, Beat the hell outta UTA!

Fixed just for you......"Also, we don't get much mention in the Sunday papers OR ON THEIR WEBSITE as it is now, but late starts due to the time change would make it even less."

Had a person from the athletic department, back when we were speculating where we would be moving, say that the travel costs were the biggest reason for not going to the Mountain West. Remember there is softball, golf, volleyball, swimming, tennis, etc that also have to travel. Also, we don't get much mention in the Sunday papers OR ON THEIR WEBSITE as it is now, but late starts due to the time change would make it even less.

LIKE WHAT DO YOU WANT YOUR DAUGHTER TO GIVE YOU FOR CHRISTMAS. YES, IT'S ON GREEN GANG'S FACEBOOK PAGE. THAT WILL TURN INTO A 10 MINUTE DISCUSSION BETWEEN THE GAME DAY CREW AND MAC.
