re: If you are the AD, your first two calls for Basketball coach go to......

My first two calls would be to Billy Donovan and Brad Stevens
If we couldn't pull something like this off in football why on earth do you think we can do it for basketball?
re: How can anyone have a grip with what coach O has done SINCE his hire...

Les won the off-season last year too. I think I'll wait and see how things play out on the field this year.

or is his agent simply floating his name out there to satisfy the whole seeking employment clause of the buy out? I mean it is a little odd he didn't make the cut of finalists for the UH job, but Major did.
Why do you care? Does it make you feel better about the O hiring knowing that Les hasn't found a job?

This. It's not like the guy showed up at Michigan and shat the bed. He took two run down programs and found a way to win. Left both better than he found them.

Oh I feel much better now knowing our new coach has the same skill set as the coach we just fired. Thank god.
Love how everybody wanted to fire Miles because they thought we could win more with someone else. Now all we expect his replacement to do is be as good as him.

Palmer House or the Wit. Both are on State Street with easy access to the redline which will take you north to Wrigley or South to Comisky.
re: Cruise ship stop in Belize with kids and slow moving MIL

Belize is a shite hole and unless you plan on doing an excursion then don't bother getting off the ship. They tender you in and there is nothing to do but look at those shops that have the same exact thing you can buy in every port in the Caribbean, It might be risky for your MIL to even get on the tender boat. Most of the excursions are more physical in Belize and require a long bus ride then a hike to either ruins or tubing. The others are boat rides to go snorkeling or what not. Just stay on the boat and enjoy having less people on board. Or, leave your MIL on board and go do something the rest of you want to do.
This is all you need to know. Please listen to this man.

he needs to give that speech to his detractors
Ed already told you people he failed once by acting like a D-line coach when he was the HC. A speech like that is perfectly appropriate for a D-line coach. Head Coach needs to be in the Ref's ear if his guys are getting held.
re: What do you think if Dan Mullen was our coach.
Posted by JonJon1906 on 12/1/16 at 11:09 am to Festus Hagen
Mullen is more qualified then O. He has coordinator experience. O does not. They both took their first jobs in the same talent poor state of Mississippi, Mullen at the little brother school and O at the big brother school. Mullen inherited a dumpster fire. O followed a coach with a winning record. Both played in the SEC west. Mullen had six straight winning seasons and is about to go to his seventh straight bowl game. O was 10-25 and 3-21 in the SEC. Mullen is a spread expert. O wants to hire a spread expert. This comparison alone should be enough to shut up all these people asking "Well who else could we have gotten after Herman and Fisher?" Sure the sexiest options were no longer on the table but there were still better options out there nonetheless.

He went 4-7 his first year didn't make a bowl so if you do it for 3 years that's consistant? Ok
lol. Being able to do something three years in a row or even 3 of 4 years is kind of the definition of consistency. No one would argue Bama isn't consistently winning championships.
Oh by the way, OSU had had one winning season and one bowl appearance in the 12 years before Miles got there. You don't think him going 3 of 4 on both counts is significant? If you don't, it's hard to take you seriously.

If Ed can win the west once while Saban is at Bama and average 9 wins for the four years, this will be a success. No matter what or who we hired, we aren't going to be dominant in the Bama rivalry until Saban hangs up his whistle.
lol. We fired a guy who we know for sure can do this because we wanted more. Now you're saying that's all we expect of his replacement?

Me too. He had close to 200. The problem is I feel like Banks had 300. They didn't result in a lot of scores but we couldn't get the ball back.

As far as the better team...ehhhh...you had 2 high profile recruits in Major/Minor.
Uhm. . . The top 4 running backs on that CHS team ended up playing D-1 ball. Minor (FSU), Boone (Clemson), Shanklin (UK) and Hatch (Georgia Tech). Greg Brown played safety at Texas with Major. One of the TE's played for LSU for a bit. Former LSU punter Donnie Jones was on that team.
And oh by the way, it was 21-14 with a minor TD on a trick play being called back.
