Rosebowl Say....

[ShotgunDawg]

On the BY that Schafer plans to keep his home in Starkville because he loves Starkville and wants to spend time there in the off season.

WTF?

Strangest situation I've seen with a coach moving on.

Really poor take by Rosebowl today. Supposedly we're just supposed to understand why the head coach of a national title level
Program would just move on.

Sorry, not buying it.

I’m going to go work in the Bahama’s and move my parents down there. But, I will keep my house in Hattiesburg because I love it so much.

Actually it seems that all the good coaches want to leave MSU

It's like our fan base was infected with some kind of non-competitive gene. Most non-competitive people I've ever been around

[Maroonthirteen]

Common sense tells you why he left. Pat Mac left. Andy Jackson left. Dan Mullen. Scott Stricklin. On and on. Accept it.

[Jack Lambert]

Let's be honest he can win anywhere he coaches. He is going to be hard to replace.

[confucius say]

This is why the AD job is so important at miss state and will dictate our athletic success. Because good coaches will likely eventually leave for what they perceive as better jobs.

Now is not the best time to be selling real estate. Schaefer is making a smart business decision. You weren't looking at a wide enough lens, Gun.

[maroonmania]

I will agree that is the goofiest thing I've ever heard of. I mean you build a program into a Top 5 national power but you leave because its supposedly not the place you want to live. So you take a program where you have to start the building process over again to be where you want to be but you are going to keep a house from where you just left. Goofy as anything I've ever heard. Probably SR is just feeding us crap but, while I do think going back to Texas was a big draw for Vic, I definitely think, and just my opinion, that something was an issue for him inside our athletic department.

You are putting way too much thought into it. The simplest explanation is usually the correct answer.

VS was always going to leave us for a Texas school. I've known many Texans and every one of them were planning to move back to Texas as soon as they could.

I believe he was waiting on the A&M job but Blair won't retire so when he was approached about the UT job he jumped. What better way to get back at Blair than coaching at his rival.

Who says he can only have one house? He's a multimillionaire plus the UT alumni association has enough money to buy him hundreds if not thousands of 3 mil homes. Maybe he truly likes the area and wants to come back on occasion or maybe he has other plans for it.

Leaving such a talented team? He built that team. He believes he can build another one just like it or better.

Oswald acted alone.

Anyone that is not a State fan knows exactly why our head women's basketball coach went to Texas. We will always have this problem unless we hire an MSU grad and then we still may have this problem (see Striklin). We are much better than we used to be but if blue blood programs want our coach they will take them in any sport not named baseball. The silver lining to this (for me Personally) is that we can use that money on sports that I actually give a crap about. I am proud of what the Ladies have done but I have watched 2 or 3 games of women's hoops in my life. I would love to pour the salary money we are saving into football or men's basketball or baseball. May not be a popular opinion but it is mine.

Would Dabo leave Clemson for Texas?

Vic basically built a Clemson type program at MSU.

Would you understand Dabo doing that?

[KentuckyDawg13]

Just a nicer way of saying that Vic is going to focus on UT women's bball and not worry about it. I read SOMEWHERE that UT's alumni will buy in the house, but cannot find where I saw that. Who cares? Dude is gone, we all should move on. UT has more money than MSU could ever dream of, it's over.

[ShotgunDawg]

Clemson wins the national title every other year. We are not the Clemson version of Women's basketball. This sport also costs us 4 million dollars a year. I don't care who we hire, but it sounds like we are going to continue to put money into this sport with Louisville's coach if he will accept.

[ShotgunDawg]

We are not the Clemson version of Women's basketball.

You're right. We're a layup away from being EXACTLY the Clemson version of Women's basketball.

It's a very good comparison.

Will you please also investigate why Vic's two grown children were present for his announcement? Honestly, this bothers me more than why he left. How many coaches do you see accept new jobs and their adult children make the trip and are included in the announcement photo.

Also, if you get time - will you please also look into the nepotism. How many professions allow you to take the head job and automatically give your kid a job along side of you?

I'll hang up and listen...

[KentuckyDawg13]

While I agree it is strange to include grown adult children in one's announcement, most likely Blair will be on Vic's staff again. Also, re "How many professions allow you to take the head job and automatically give your kid a job along side of you?" I can think of several in the White House which emphasizes the lack of professionalism that entails.

[revdrdawg]

I have a strong feeling that the announcement (and his first post hiring interview on the UT network) were made from his home. I was out walking in the neighborhood on the afternoon of the announcement and there were a noticeable bunch of cars at Vic's house. And in the interview, he made several references that indicated he was in Starkville (and that Blair was operating the video).

[Gutter Cobreh]

It's already been announced that she is following him and will be on staff. I know nepotism is rampant within politics, but just highlighting that it also seems prevalent in college sports and no one really bats an eye at it.

Regarding the family photo op. with the announcement, maybe they're all quarantining together....

[Jarius]

You're right. We're a layup away from being EXACTLY the Clemson version of Women's basketball.

Again, if Dabo left Clemson for Texas, would you understand?

No, we are not. Clemson has won multiple national titles and has 5 final 4 playoff type appearances in the last few years. Clemson recruits better than we do in football. Clemson is a better program in football than we are in women's basketball. That is not debatable. Also, if Dabo had family he wanted to be near in Texas that would possibly alter his decision. I don't know what to tell you. We can't compete with Texas for a coach unless it's baseball. You can continue to put on a tin foil hat and everyone else can continue to tell you you don't know what you are talking about.

Shotgun ..... that is actually a good comparison and gives me pause to rethink my position on this. However I've never been to Clemson and therefore can't compare the quality of life in Clemson vs Starkville and the respective campuses. However I'll bet ya anything...... Dabo will leave for Alabama when Alabama comes calling.

Good point though.

So he could give up his cushy path to the CFP every year and trade it for a much tougher road and to be ridiculed 10 fold by those fans if he doesn't have the same success?

I've been to Clemson many times. It ain't no better Starkville. Campus not any better either. Now it is close to Greenville SC which is a good size town but that is about it. Smokin Pig is a real good BBQ joint if anyone goes thru there.

Dabo leaving Clemson to Auburn would be dumb. Leaving for Alabama..... would be understandable. He played for Alabama and obviously Alabama is his home state. Even if the path is tough in the sec, Alabama is still the strongest program in the strongest conference. Alabama is the premier college football program in the United States.

[Jarius]

I disagree. I believe the Women's program was absolutely the Clemson of WBK but maybe a few years behind. I think it's a solid comp

Well let me tell you, there isn't a Clemson fan alive that would trade their football program success with our wbb success (if you could translate our women's success to football success), even if you deleted both of their national titles. They have nearly 3 times more playoff appearances than we have final 4s during the same time frame. It's not remotely close. If Dabo would have went to Texas after having Vic type success while at Clemson no one would blink an eye. Now that he's done what he has done it would raise a few questions.

[Jarius]

He went to school at Alabama. That's like asking you if you had the job at Clemson would you go to MSU if we were what Alabama is in football? You may or may not but it's not some secret as to why you would if you chose that route. It's where you went to school and what's in your heart.

[BiscuitEater]

Again, for those 'challenged' .. Dan stayed NINE years, six+ years than an average CFB HC stays at a school. Vic stayed longer than your average WBB HC.

This is true. It's not like they both got us going a little bit and then jumped ship after 3 years. If you can get 8 years out of a coach it's hard to be too upset. I think we will end up with a good WBB coach due to what Schaefer did for us. That is if Cohen doesn't screw it up.

Cohen has hired a baseball coach who won more games than any first year head coach in SEC history and Mike Leach. His softball hire was also lighting it up this year. Canni was a bad hire but it was not because he couldn't coach. The only truly bad hire he made was Moorhead, and that hire was praised by everyone when it happened. I don't trust Cohen with a lot other things in the day to day operations but he knows how to hire good coaches. That part I don't worry about.
