im a long time fan , used to go to Lockhart, got to see us beat Minnesota, almost beating #2 USF
going to new orleans bowl. Season tickets to that horrible year one at that beautiful stadium
rusty smith, Cortez gent, Franz Joseph , lestar Jean, then Alfred etc
But ive been gone since Pellini and would like to come back to the fold.
Lets get the ship right on football and it ain't happening with Chun
so say what you want but I speak the truth regarding Miles
ps take a look at the picks of a real AD at a small fbs school that wins every year
AD Terry Mohajir - (our former ADA)last 4 picks and every year a bowl game
hugh freeze, Gus Malzhan, Brian Harsin and Blake Anderson
And we get Charlie partridge and pass on Miles
Just a frustrated fan

Just a comment regarding why les was passed.
Pres and donor are not football guys. they liked les but
im guessing Chun said he had a bigger fish come into the picture Lane Kiffin
thats why.
Until AD is gone they will rely on him , unfortunately for us fans they don't know Chun is a buffoon
but it's not going to be pretty if he doesn't get kiffin and les was passed onPosted On: Dec 10th 2016, 11:57 AM #363940
Kelly comes from Clemson and understands as well as values the importance of football to grow a university. Our biggest donor put 8 digits towards an indoor practice facility for the team. Don't come on here and spread rumors then back it up with complete falsities.
I somewhat believed this until you said the president and donor are not football people.
Whatever happens, this is getting way too late. Need a coach to recruit or whoever comes in will be set up for failure from the get to go.
I'm going to believe in Chun until this process is over.

It is 100% the truth

I was hopeful about Kiffin. From what I hear, he definitely get us the wins that we want.
I don't know why we're so hung up on a buyout because if he can get us to two straight bowls and leaves in year two or three, I'm okay with that because it leaves us in a much better position for the next guy.
Realistically, this is what is going to happen to us because of what we offer from a salary and Conference standpoint. We will always be in a position where if we have a great coach getting a 9, 10, 11 wins a year he is going to get snapped up by somebody else from a bigger conference with more money.
And if we have a coach who only gets us five or six wins a year, we may hang on to him but for what reason? Nobody is in college football to only win five or six games a year.

100%. Our goal is really to become the school that lets HCs win a bunch of games and get hired by bigger schools. We need to attract the hottest up-and-coming coming coaches, the way Houston is. After that, we can try to move into a better conference, and later on become a destination school that coaches want to come to coach for as a career job. Oregon has really just recently hit that stage, after being anonymous for so long. TCU and Baylor are kind of getting there. It takes decades though to do this, not one single coach. Right now we need wins.

Between this and blowing it with Lane I am so mad I can't see straight.
I hate the idea of demanding a huge "buyout" and giving up national exposure, ticket sales, and the OC in the country for when he leaves (which would after winning for a couple years).
This will all be ironic when we have to buyout another contract.

His offense IS predictable, which is why they want him gone at Bama, but I think he'd be able to help get our program together pretty well.
As of now we have Tubs sending in his resume, I guess, then a collection of position coaches who might want to run a program for kicks.
