Benford and Proof!

[JesseMartin]

Man, I wish he would just step down. Where's the Denton mafia when you need them?

We disbanded and went our separate ways

We all know how last year sucked! So forget it! What record would Coach have to post this year for you to say"Hey he can coach"?

about 16 wins in the regular season: i guess that would be 3 more wins OOC and about 13-5 in conference and at least the quarters in the tournament. That is about what it would take for me to not call this a sure fire failure going forward.

Right now I can't see it happening.

Are you saying we could get Saban for this job?

Show me a coach anywhere who just throws up his hands, says, "Welp, I guess I really do suck at this," and leaves. Mack Brown doesn't count. That was a well-financed, face saving arrangement.

I posted this at a time when I was looking at some positives.( mainly the talent on the team) Now I really have second thoughts as a courtside season ticket holder! That was total Crap and RV had better been in his face telling Benny exactly that.

A winning record and a win in the tourney I would be ok.

As we know a good recruiter that can't coach eventually becomes a horrible recruiter!

Rocky Long and the New Mexico football team. I think it was 4 years ago?

2008, just as we were searching for crumbs in our bare cupboard and hoisting sails of our soon to be righted ship.

And to be fair, Rocky Long had enjoyed success at NM and was there for 11 years. It wasn't like he was immediately and chronically horrific at historic levels. He was 4-8 when he resigned. Hardly 6-37 or manufactured .500 feasting on teams of paraplegic alternative elementary schools (and occasionally narrowly beating them).

Guys, look at Mike Locksley's time at UNM as their football coach. That may be where you are going to find the parallels, IIRC.

Naaa that is harsh. Even to Benford. Locksely was really not just a bad coach but really also horrrrrriffffic of the field to a degree that Benford really is not

Uh, they do in Japan? Typically muttering something about disgracing their family and dishonoring their ancestors. Both things Benford is doing

Are you suggesting Benford commit harakiri?

[the green rokemi]

My lawyer has advised me to stop talking

If you're suggesting it, I won't argue with you or try to talk him out of it.

One upside...we're 15th in D-1 in rebounds. And most of them are defensive, otherwise I'd throw out the "wouldn't need to rebound if it went in the first time" joke.

Yeah, Northwood and The Word Incarnate are universally known as being tough on the boards. I guess we'll have to wait and see what Wayland and Central do to us.
