O negatives should've been listening to Pawl!

Had a business analyst on - can't remember his name but he analyzes numbers and offers advice. he went down the list with Pawl on various SEC coaches.

anyway, on Coach Eaux, his concern was that coach might not understand the complete CEO approach, a criticism I've seen on this board. he didn't say he wasn't hands on enough with game planning and in game decisions, but there was a possibility he could be too disinterested. anyway, alleva needs to hire this guy to counsel with Coach Eaux. (some other schools need to as well.)

here's something really interesting - he was talking about Bert. he thinks that Bert's success is tied to Wisconsin. he said alverez has a very stable program there throughout all their sports program.

Then he dropped the bomb when Pawl asked him about Aranda. he said Aranda was a Wisconsin guy as well. no conclusion yet, but it gave him pause.

the les miles lovers would've loved some of his other comments when talking about other coaches, specifically sumlin and mcelwain. he said the numbers don't lie, they have winning percentages in the mid 60's which meant 8-9 wins a year. that's what they could continue to expect. However, he said, there aren't many 10-11 coaches out there. you could swap your so-so guy for someone worse.

No surprise - saban and meyer were up on top, fisher and dabo were next at the top.

I don't know why i'm giving you guys this info, since this board is finally starting to settle down. just want you to know, I guess, that I don't dislike or disrespect you for having an opinion. just wish we could discuss stuff without the namecalling.

some of us know that you make some real points, but it is what is is right now and that's how it's going to be for a few years - might as well support the whole team and staff.
