So will Stans head to USM...

[fishwater99]

You would think that would be a good fit for him and the Buzzards...
If he can't get that job he will never coach again..

[Dawg61]

Honestly we don't want Stansbury at USM. He will own Jackson, the coast and New Orleans recruiting.

agreed.

[Coach34]

Best chance Stands has at getting another decent job.

I disagree on recruiting. The Nasty Bunch doesn't have the system in place to recruit like he did at State. Plus, he is not going to get any big time recruits to go to Southern Miss even if they do pony up. We're talking about a guy that went to 2 NCAA Tourneys in his last 7 seasons at State- and that was with his network in full damn force.

And when you get a sub-par floor coach with average talent- you will see him languish at Southern and collect a check for 5 years

I don't know it Stans will end up at USM or not. It might not be the right situation for him and they may not be interested. But it is the right level of a program for Stansbury to get back into coaching.

[slickdawg]

It speaks volumes - Tennessee had a chance to hire a guy that recruits their state well, is from Kentucky, has SEC coaching experience, and he wasn't in their top 5.

It would be interesting to watch for sure...

Agree. Not much to fear really. Our performance will be 100x more affected by Ray and our fans/boosters than anything Rick does at USM.

[engie]

What's going to be funny is the spin put on it if/when he doesn't get that job. It's already started with a couple of loyal Stans followers questioning whether he would have interest in that job...

Dawgbreeze on SPS yesterday:

I would continue to support MSU
But rest assured, he would kick our ass in recruiting. I think it is a moot point. Can't see him wanting to go to the Buzzards.

Fact is -- there are still bigger name coaches out there that are currently considered "toxic" -- just like the last 2 that USM has hired and allowed to rehab their image...

[Coach34]

That's hilarious from Dawggeezer

Stands hired a firm to help market his name and get him a job- hell, he even went overseas recruiting- and so far- no takers.

I hope he goes to Southern. Would be a good move for him. And as far as him owning the Jackson and coast - is that a problem? Outside Newman this next year, who has come out of those areas that Stansbury has signed that has been successfull since Monta Ellis? All of our best players the last ten years or so have been out of state guys -- with Stansbury AND Ray. Zimmerman, Roberts, Power, Frazier, Gordon, Varnado, Stewart, Bost, Sword, etc. The exception (and only one) is Timmy Bowers who was many years ago and seems to be a statistical anamoly. But good thing we got Sidney from the Jackson-area **

Kind of in the back of my mind as well. I don't know about "owning" but I believe if would be felt in Oxford and Starkville.

[coastdoglover]

You are a lying s o b. I never said that once and as far as I know he hasn't applied for any job. He has more money than any of us and doesn't sit on a computer all day acting like a coach.

No one "applies" for a job like that. Your agent throws your name out and either there are takers and interest or there isn't. I have no clue if rs wants that job or not. However, he won't be applying for anything, doesn't work that way.

what? What am I lying about?

and while he may not have actually filled out a job app- he has damn sure tried to get in the running for some jobs. He damn near jerked off Jacobs trying to get in the mix for Auburn. I know he had dinner with Jacobs and I know who was at the table that night. So don't come here with that bullshit. You and I both know he wants a coaching job so bad he can't stand it- and it has nothing to do with needing money.

[shannondawg]

Your dinners must be pretty interesting if it includes jerking somebody off.

[MadDawg]

How do you think he got into coaching in the first place?

Well, when you deal with surgeons to get business....

[coastdoglover]

Okay, Barrack, Jr. Sexton is his agent and I have no idea what he has been doing but you are so damn ate up with Stansbury and your hatred toward him that you continue to make up shit to discredit him. Let the damn guy enjoy his retirement and I have about as much faith in your source having dinner with Rick and Jacobs as I did when you said you knew who the next basketball coach at MSU would be ,and then Scott went out and hired a guy nobody had ever heard of to come to MSU. I do know some folks from Auburn put feelers out about their job but that happens all the time. Get over yourself, it is your board but you try and stir more shit than you get accurate info. I am sure this coming season we will hear every excuse from you if we fail again in basketball and most of us remember your absolute paranoia with Stansbury for over 6 to 8 years. And while I am at it, the only jerking off that is being done is you acting like an expert. some of us are smart enough to see through you. Prozac is real cheap these days, try it, maybe you will enjoy life for once.
