Peterson was definitely harshest. Like I said, I get it. They are friends with him and have no affiliation with the program. They are going to be harsh.
But honestly when has the media ever shined a positive light on our school?Quote:

Kudos to Zac, who demonstrated a fair balance between patience and not waiting any longer.
More patience than I would've had.
I don't like people making $40k to $50k a year getting fired because they may be the bread winner. I don't mind coaches make more than a $1 million living in million dollar homes sitting on millions in their bank account getting fired for not getting the job done. He was interviewed in the 4th inning of the Texas ESPN game and said we have a good ball club. So if we have a good ball club and are 7-14 SEC, the problem must not be the ball club.Quote:

He's our Gene Chizik of baseball. One NC and leaves a multi-millionaire. Hard to reach the top as many never do, but much harder to stay there. We tumbled 3 of the next four years.Quote:

35-55 but some were defending him to the deathQuote:

I would have fired that 17er last season.Quote:
