Because the idea of our crappy AD hiring our crappy OC as the next head coach is sending me over the edge.

Most don't realize how much better is out there, they want to pick what they  know. The team should have a rebound induced by the firing don't mistake that for coaching. Plus now there is not much to lose so they are going to go all out and have fun. I see us winning 2-3 games if everything comes together. I hope we just don't need a 0-12 season and none of the remaining coaches do either. 

Fire RV!

No breaking news, but it's being thrown around in other posts and it boggles my mind. 

There is a lot of "RV is safe, don't even bother" vibes being thrown out by certain people.  IF that is true we need to RAISE HELL and make sure Smatresk understands how unhappy that would make a lot of us.

We may not be the big fish, but the dozen ticket holders in my club section are unanimous, we won't buy tickets next year if the AD isn't changed.  I think there is a lot of people thinking along the same line.

Certainly Pres Smatresk needs to consistently be reminded of how unhappy the fan base is about the AD and the consequences of keeping him in charge (via e-mail, letters, phone calls, social media, etc). Such pressure will not go unnoticed by him and his staff.

If RV finds 10 million out there soon by all means let's keep him.  I want the AD focused on raising money.  Period. Hell put Hank Dickinson in charge of coaching hires.  I think he will do a better job.  

UH is about to get into the Big 12 in the coming years.  Why?  First and foremost they found the money.  We need an AD that can do that.

There's also a vibe that Smatresk is well aware at this point. He knows RV's track record and such. If he lets donors, who obviously don't care that RV hasn't produced, pull a power move then he's the problem too. But yes, by all means keep letting him know.

meanrob, you don't need to lose any sleep.  The threads you are referring to are hypothetical "what if Canales wins out" propositions.  Canals isn't going to get 7, 6, 5, or even 4 wins.  If Canales won out?  Hell yeah, I'd consider him.  But that just isn't going to happen.

Add me to that club seat list.

I think you are getting ahead of yourself here. Nobody wants to make Canales the HC right now but some (including me) say that if he wins most of the 7 games he coaches this season, he should at least get a look. But let's be honest with ourselves, the chance of that happening is about as likely as Hayden Fry coming out of retirement to coach us again.

Argument against that is that it resets your stadium gift if you ever want club seats again.  I ain't gonna pay that thing twice.

In a gesture of goodwill, that rule should be thrown out.

I'm saying you put feelers out right now and have a decision made by the end of the season on a new coach. You don't make a list, put out the feelers and say "Well, we're waiting to see how our interim does."  He's been here how many years and we're need another seven games to decide? His body of work here speaks for itself.

Are you sure on this? It has been several years now so the details are foggy in my mind. I know when I bought my club seats they allowed me to use money I had already donated to the stadium fund to go towards my seat commitment.  In my mind this means that  once you have donated your mandatory minimums per seat you are free to purchase any year you see fit.  With the risk being seats may  not be available if you skip a year.  I have been wrong before.  Oh yes I have been wrong before.

      Caponi fired

      I understand that his decisions to go for it on 4th down so much or not to kick FGs or play the field position game are bad decisions. Just playing Devil's advocate. Could it be that those decisions stem from a lack of confidence in the defense? It feels like he believes he has to score TDs on every possession to win because the defense will not stop anyone. So, that takes me back to he should have never kept Caponi after year one.

      Ladies at ACU

      I went to the game, again we started slow and accelerated in the second quarter outscoring ACU 27-12. We let them back in it and the lead got down to three points twice. But we went on a game-sealing 11-0 run to take a 66-52 lead as Lampkin took over. One of ACU's starting bigs went out late with an apparent back injury. She's from Bixby, Oklahoma, which is where I've gotten my only speeding ticket, so maybe she deserved it. As for the arena, it shares the same name as SMU's (Moody Coliseum) and looks like a carbon copy of TCU's (albeit half the size). Recently renovated and very nice. The ACU men hosted TXST shortly after. Which we could get some better men's/women's doubleheaders and on the weekend to help boost the ladies' attendance.

      Next week's ECU game is our last chance this season to sellout DATCU Stadium

      Will Caponi and the dunk tank make one last appearance at DATCU this weekend?
