I have been away from the board for a few days is it a foregone conclusion that loony will not be retained
Need to keep DJ.
From all indications, he is gone. Has not been on road recruiting w/ Moohread
That’s crap if true!
Based on what? Your opinion?? Dj looney didn't write boook on college coaching you know. I like him fine. But chill, we didn't decide to pass on steve spurrierQuote:

Yes my opinion and the way he hit the streets immediately after Dean left town. Don’t like it, **** off.Quote:

Go look at his Twitter, he kicked ass for us while we were hiring Coach Mo!
Probably the same thinking that some have about bringing back Anthony Dixon and Fred Smoot to coach???? I don't have anything against Looney but don't believe it's a disaster and hope he finds employment and soon if he's gone
Wow. Panties easily go up crack I see. Asked a question.psycho why don't ya.Quote:

What does ETA mean? It was always Estimated Time of Arrival to meQuote:

Glad he didn’t sit on his ass figuring he’d be let go while Crumedy wavered on his commitment. No one’s called him Bear Bryant, forgive me that I think it sucks that we have two coaches hired but didn’t see fit to keep on a great dude, alumnus and recruiter.Quote:

Hope he chooses wisely. But you are the one who said it was crap. Dj is a young coach, maybe he will get another chance, but jm doesn't owe it to him. Looney had an interview......Quote:

Can we save all staff retention questions until after signing day? Hmmmmm?
Might not mean anything but he's listed on the MSU sports website as still being on the staff.
He was also on the road recruiting today so the rumor he has been pulled is completely false.Quote:

I don’t have any inside knowledge, but now that we have a HC and two new staff members that aren’t coaching in the bowl game, I would think Looney would be much more valuable prepping this team to beat Louisville than on the recruiting trail.
With this double secret staff deal, who knows what’s happening. I was told neither he nor Buckley will be back.
Maybe dj works hard enough and proves he deserves a job. Again I'm good w that. But he wasn't promised one. And the fact it got out was dj's fault, he told it, and word gets around. He just needs to work hard and see where the chips fall after all that.Quote:

Looney is young as hell it's not like he's gonna die if Joe doesn't retain him. Let that big bird fly elsewhere for a bit and make some connections in other parts of the woods and when/if he comes back to MSU some day he will be a better coach for it. You guys don't get to pick JoMo's assistants. Not even Cohen gets to do that and he hired the guy.
All I know is Patrick Austin ain't going nowhere. That dude is one of the best recruiters I've ever seen. Recruits LOVE him. He needs to be in a position where he can go on the road after all the staff is in place.
