re: "The Players Went Wild When E was Announced!"

I don't know how I've been bitchy in this thread.

But what I meant was that your post about fan opinions was not my logic. Saying that the players reaction shouldn't carry weight into the hiring decision and saying the fans opinion should determine the hire are 2 completely individual statements. I made the former, and you created the latter to argue against.

Fair enough. I was defending my post and arguments, not that foolish line of thinking

All I am saying is that player approval is a given in these circumstances.

I've never heard of players running down an inside hire, ever.

But, I guess it is a good thing that LSU didn't become the first.

Hell I know when I played HS football our Head Coach was forced into retirement. We were a perennial playoff team often ranked very high while I was there. We all were mad and didnt like what was happening to him.

Many players wanted one of the assistants to take over.

Instead they hired someone from the college ranks that was the father of an incoming frosh. I barely follow my old team anymore but they play now for state titles almost yearly. Including the first year he coached. If I had to guess they won at least 6 titles since that change.

Players dont like change and do not see past their playing career at any level.

All I was saying is that players liking the offensive coordinator (NOT CHOOSING THE OC) should hold more weight than the fans hating it - frick, Marshall knew it was going to be him BEFORE he signed, and still signed.. that’s enough for me to know that the players are OK with it.. a 5 Star wouldn’t throw away his opportunity if he thought the offense would completely tank


Tbh, I didn’t even read the OP - I just assumed this was a nega vs posi battle and came out swinging lol

Yea I got mad, so what? I’m just sick of the negativity, that’s all

there was no search and the whole coaching is a charade on the university.

Wtf does this have to do with what I said? You’re misdirecting your frustration ma’am

I know, I said that already.. now answer the question.. what does your comment have to do with what I said?

Folks were upset that Canada might have said he would not be there. It is now good that SE was said to be taking over before it happened. I am glad the team will play for this man. I am sure they all have a great relationship of coach and player. This hiring is a mess and you know it. I am not being negative just realistic about what transpired here.

I don’t disagree with most of what you said, I’m just trying to figure out wtf your comment was supposed to mean bc it had nothing to do with what I said

You just took one of the rant’s complaints and tried to fit a square peg into a round hole

He is a good person but the question is in all honesty could he really coach?

this is all that should matter.
