    Nobody is satisfied with anything. Some of us just throw our sucker in tge dirt at different times. Ive thrown mine down and picked it up a couple times now. Im in no way ok with hows its gone but im not paying the tab. I can understand why the boosters are having a hard time steering right now. My guess is we would need 50-75 mil this year to fire Napier, pay a buyout, pay a staff and pay the nil bill for existing players and a new class of hs kids and portal kids. Thats alot of cash either way but there better be a bonafide candidate to do all that. Maybe they kicked some tires and didnt like the numbers for what they could get. At least they are moving forward

    They aren't deleting posts now that its been published by a journalistic outlet. They were deleting rumors about coaches which, if one isn't reading impaired, can be found listed in the Board posting rules.

    Well, that explains some things then. Stricklin having to deal with this, gets the Napier business off his plate for a year.

    SEC road games will be brutal if Golden is still on the sideline. Our very own Anthony Weiner...

    I thought it started Sept 16, 2004 at the Pi Kappa Phi house.

    SS shouldn't have anything on his plate outside of updating his resume.

    That might be a lot of work. You think he can spin it in a way that he would be able to get a job better than flipping burgers at a greasy spoon next to a Mississippi hwy?

    He’s under contract until 2027, so without cause he probably has a buyout and won’t need a job.

    Third set (Newbauer, Amato, and now Golden) of serious behavioral allegations against a head coach during his tenure. At some point the boss needs to answer the question of why is this happening, repeatedly, in his organization.

    Earlier in the year I commented that many ADs would have resigned/been forced out after one hire was let go fpr harrassment/abuse a year after being hired. Stricklin had two but has remained. But three?
