    Have to have an AD opening first. Looks like Stricklin will survive this, if only because he doesn’t have a real boss to fire him.

    This is the same old insanity and we are repeating it over again. You don't make good decisions, nor do you have any leverage when you are desperate. The program is toast and it will take years to rebuild from this point. It's time to face reality instead of rushing towards another disaster.

    This seems to be the trend. Personally my expectations are low considering the last few hires.

    Every time I visit I’m gifted several bottles of different stuff. Many from unknown smaller distilleries. Some good, some not so good. If you get back to Edinburgh you have to visit Cadenhead’s. Those guys will show you some stuff.

    Yep, I’m not a big scotch guy and am fairly ignorant in that area but I like some and others not at all whereas bourbon, I usually like it.

    I’m still amazed to see some still disagree with Kiffen. How?? 12-16 has not been fun.

    I suspect Billy did the best he could- the job was just too big for him

    I'm tired of hearing about the process. Sick of it.

    Things I trust more that Billy Napiers process:
    • Gas station sushi
    • The water at Camp LeJune
    • Harbor Freight jack stands

    Yep. I'm here too. Too many stupid penalties, wasted downs on offense, disastrous results. This is loser football like nothing we've seen since like the 1970s? I can't think of another such degree of incompetence. Even midline and sharkboy were able to produce some results. You have to go before Pell to find this level is suckitude.

    Serious question. When Billy is fired and we do go after a new coach; say Kiffen. Do we also have to pay Kiffen's buyout as well as Billy's?

    Not toast, what got us in trouble was so many agreeing with Billy that it would take years to win and that is a recipe for disaster and not a good mindset at all. So many other coaches have shown that you can win immediately and there are coaches out there that could come in with our talent and do that.
