We're no doubt going to hear all about how aTm is going to shaft us for years and years to come with all the 4 and 5 star Mississippi players they're going to recruit...Quote:

Good for him. Why would he have wanted that Southern Miss job when he could be an asst at A&M?
Glad to see him back at work
Pollard to A&M? Maybe they just hired Stands to secure Pollard?
Can he go to a&m? Might violate his probabtion!!!Quote:

Interesting choice...
Kennedy is on about as hot of seat as you can be in the SEC while still having a job. And outside of extreme circumstances, fired(for performance) coaches don't get to have successors come from within...

Guess his favorite colors really are Maroon and White!

dude will make a great assistant coach. bottom line. he can focus 100 percent of his time to recruiting and not have to worry about actually trying to coach
Agreed 100% Think this was a good hire for A&M.Quote:

Well he's back to what his strength is - he can be an outstanding recruiter, focus a little on defense and rebounding and also be the players coach on the staff. I know next to nothing about their head coach but I'm guessing he's a tad on the hot seat and thus why hiring Stans make sense.
Interesting to see how this plays out.
Thanks so much for your support of MSU basketball...Quote:

Why would I want to do that. I wouldn't care to visit with Ron Polk, but I would like to see my friend Rick Stansbury at the Hump one more time..Quote:

If Billy Kennedy gets fired, Stansbury would most likely become interim coach. He could probably parlay that into the A&M job back door style or some other job. Just throwing ideas out there. Good move for A&M and good move for Stansbury.
So in other words, he could backstab his way into a HC job aGAIN?Quote:

Wait..... you mean Stansbury made Richard Williams start banging cheerleaders? How did he pull that off? Man can work miracles.
amazing how damn stupid some of our fans are, if indeed they are our fans in reality. Very smart move by both parties and look for him to get a top player for the Aggies in the next few weeks.

However, this is a better shot than Richard Williams ever got and his transgressions, while real, were smaller than a lot of people still in the game.
A top player? What top players haven't signed by now? .............Quote:

This is hilarious coming from the guy who refuses to support our current coach because his feelings are hurt that his buddy was forced out.Quote:

I hope Pollard does find a place and get a chance to work toward success. Way too many elite high school athletes are doing time instead of playing pro ball. If your son's coach doesn't care about character, get him away from that dumb son of a bitch.Quote:
