Jimbo was his first call, then swung and missed on Riley, never followed up with Napier who was openly campaigning for the job.

Anyone who says we didn’t swing and miss on Riley is full of sh*t. If this turns out well it’s because of two things — $$$ and luck.

I think he f***ed up big so far. I think his arrogance led him to completely avoid discussions with solid backup candidates and left us with our pants down for the moment. But all that being said, I haven't completely lost trust. The end result of this debacle will define Woodward in my eyes.

Never really trusted him but was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.

He fired O too early and his 'strategy' of simply throwing more money hasn't worked it's magic yet.

We are without a head coach and every day that is the case it hurts our program.

I believe our “insiders” were wrong and while I believe there was contact with LR it did reach the level of signed deal or MOU.

So folks here and on other boards are faulting SW for not getting someone who may not even been his target.

If we end up with Stoops then no my faith in SW would have been misplaced.

If we get Aranda, Campbell, Kiffin, Kelly, Fickle, Ruhle, Tucker, Jimbo, then SW got a guy who will win here and that’s the only thing that matters.

My list would be
Kiffin
Fickell
Aranda
Ruhle
Jimbo
Campbell
Kelly
Tucker

I get the feeling Kiffin isn’t a candidate for SW. I hate that.

SW unless he goes full retard with Stoops will get us a guy who wins championships.

You know absolutely nothing sir. Pull your head out of your own arse. Hell a man in TAF last night straight up said he has his guy already.

Why is Jimbo to a&m still considered a great hire? Seems like he’s been especially mediocre to me. No?

Just shows how fickle a fan base can be. A couple years ago this guy was the next coming of Jesus, and now some of the fan base doesn't want to trust him to do his job.

I’ll trust until Feldman/Delly says it’s stoops or O’Brien. Then I move to the schiano phase of this process. We hired Canada before, no reason we can’t hire a head coach this time.
