If we plan to run this scheme, we better stunt a hell of a lot better than we ever have. We better get off blocks better than we ever have. We better man cover better than we ever have. I hope we run whatever scheme gets our best 11 of the field regardless of what positions they play.

Trying to find a non-conference opponent 1 year out is a take what you can get kind of deal. I'm okay with it as long as we win.

They may ask, but more often than not the coaches alma mater does not offer. I don't know of a single coach that pushed a kid to play in a certain school. Not one in 27 years. I did encourage NT not to offer a kid once. He was a poor character individual and I didn't want him at NT. The coaches at NT decided not to offer and he want to another school where he did exactly what I predicted. But I never spoke to the kid about where to go or not go. My advice to the kids was 1) Don't worry about the size of the school or the conference 2) Do you like the coaches and think you will have a good experience there? and 3) Do they offer the degree you want? Will you get a good education there? I also asked "Do you think you are their #5 recruit or their #25 recruit?" If you are #25, perhaps you should consider some of the other offers, even if they are smaller. Go where you are wanted the most. Again, not one coach I worked with in 27 years tried to influence a kid to go to the same school they did.

High school coaches do not pick colleges for their kids. This does not happen. High school coaches open the doors to any college coach that wants to recruit their kids. They do NOT influence where the kids go. This whole "high school connections" thing is WAY over rated. High school coaches do not choose the colleges for their players. I have been involved in recruiting for athletes in 3 different sports for a number of high schools where I worked. Never, never, never had influence over where a kid went. That is totally between the college, the kid, and the parents.

If you want to go you can find a way. If you don't want to go you will find an excuse. Like Deon said, make an investment or hush.

On the stage at UTA. Was also a Jimmy Gales sighting in there too. And the warm ups at the end of the clip were awesome.

I would imagine most of the complaints are from the exact people Deon is talking about. Keyboard warriors, but not much else. The "I'll wait until I see if they win" crowd. "I'm not giving until they do this or that or fire him or her" while I contribute the minimum to the program.

All of this! Just put on green and it is the same with us. Are you stepping up? Do you show up win or lose, rain or shine? Are you all in? If not, this video should speak directly to you.

Made our defense when you moved from LB so S. Thank you for being a team player.

I hope 3 years from now I look back and this was a great hire. For now, I'll root for his success but his resume is unimpressive to me. Time will tell, but these "connections" with high school coaches is a very overrated thing. Go Coach O and Go Mean Green!

This was a huge win for us that doesn't get the respect it deserves. WK is good and we whipped them badly at their place.

And it was gold until we couldn't get a bowl invite. Iowa took advantage and we soon fell back to I-AA with a president that didn't support athletics. We are still trying to recover.

The DC will be his most important decision. This was Set's downfall more than anything else. Bennett was better, but we never tackle well.

Just another name on my block list. These kids were amazing representatives of our school and I will remember them always. I'm proud of how they played and what they accomplished.

This simply cannot be true. From what I read on here, losing bowl games is a reason to be fired.

We have given up an insane amount of points the last 4 years. What is your plan to change that?

Our QB play wouldn't be a problem if we didn't need to score 40 every game.

QB play has not been our issue the last 4 years. Our inability to count on our defense has been. I hope we get some defensive players.

The time to step up is now, and I don't just mean the football coaches. Many, many, many of this board ranted for weeks about needing a new coach to step up to a new conference. But it can't just be the coaches. All of us need to do the same. So, is everyone who wished for a coaching change willing to step up? Are you willing to purchase season tickets if you haven't? Are you increasing your MGSF pledge? How about buying 2 extra seats and bringing friends to every game? And if you aren't willing to do more, why would you expect more? Time for EVERYONE to step up.

No. No first time head coaches. No retreads.

We will win this game.

Who exactly are these "high level donors"?

The girls started VERY slowly vs UTA. They pressed and our guards had a miserable time. We make a lot of bad passes. Davis struggled the most and I don't think she or Moore played the second half. Our inexperience at guard reminds me of the team a couple of years ago that had 2 freshmen guards. They took a lot of growing pains, but last year was the result. It is also hurting us that we are missing Mallard. We only have 2 players with any height and if our opponent can match up on the other forwards, we have a hard time. UTA had several big girls. On the bright side, Lampkin is playing well. Johnson is beginning to contribute. Boles has gotten better every game. Hardaway is figuring it out. Moore had her first bad night and she has played well up to this point. Davis has a lot of talent. And Quincy is very good. It is hard to completely turn over the roster and at times it looks like we have 9 new players that have not meshed yet. Give this some time and it will be better.

So tired of these..... so very, very tired.....

I wish him well... just not here.
