Strick made the hire he did to completely get away from that and it wouldnt have mattered if Stands had another year or not. Had we hired Payne- there is certainly no doubt that we would have more talent on campus than we do now. Can he coach it- who knows? Strick made a hiring decision to go completely away from what we had been doing from a recruiting standpoint.

Thats not my fault.
Thats not a reflection on what type of coach we could have hired

Thats a direct result of the decision by the AD

But as I pointed out in the original post- Stands had to go. It was a complete no-brainer. The kind of shit that was going on within the program was ridiculous.

College basketball players on our team were smoking weed? Oh my gosh what a disaster. No one smoked more weed than Bullard and Dontae Jones.

And this is the heart of the matter.

Many of these guys havent supported Ray for 1 second- and pulled back their monetary support with it. But they want to bitch when we arent getting the same results.

I don't see anyone but a handful of folks on here saying they wanted Stansbury to be the HC here. Almost everyone said that it was time for him to go, me included. The real problem is that Stricklin had no plan when Stans was forced out. And make no bones about it, this was a disastrous hire that has lead us to the bottom of the league. We gutted the schedule so that we could get win totals to make it look like we were progressing but everyone can see that: our SOS is the worst in the league. Anyone who is truly objective sees that were are a poorly coached team and the worst fact is that OM has passed us as a program. That is why most of us are pissed about the program, not that Stans was forced out but that we suck and it never had to happen.

The Hood was gone propaganda is a straight out falsehood. Hood even decided to give Ray a chance to keep him. After one workout Hood said, nah this ain't for me. I'm not going to debate this issue with you, but that is just flat out wrong.

What truth- you said you didnt read what I wrote. Ok. Go read it and respond to it. Dont post a bunch of crap

There is no reason at all to even reply in threads like this.

I know you aren't this dumb. Why isn't drug use rampant in the NFL, MLB but it is in the NBA? B/C testing for weed in the NBA is a dealbreaker for the players association. Basketball players love their weed, they just do. We never really lost any good players to drugs for more than a couple of games.

Then don't edit my post when it doesn't offend anyone other than people that hates Stans. In the past I said that Stans must have slept with your wife. I was at the AU football game and I retract my statement. Now that is edit worthy. Good day coach

But how anybody can claim Stands needed another year is beyond me...

Ray may not be the answer- but we made the correct decision in making the coaching change. We dont have the drama surrounding our program anymore and that is tremendous improvement. We just have to get more talented players on campus- whomever can do that and coach them.

You can't explain the unexplainable. These are people that by and large wish they were born into OM stock: it's the "crootin' is everything" crowd run amok. Has nothing to do with making Mississippi State University a better university and that's sad.

""It was just a long, tough year for me," Hood said in April when he announced his intention to transfer."

Rodney came home for a weekend with the family and after lots of talking he decided he wanted to ask for a release from his basketball scholarship at Mississippi State," Ricky Hood said in MSU's official

release in April. "He said it's been a long, hard, and difficult year at Mississippi State as far as basketball is concerned. He's enjoyed the atmosphere and academic side of Mississippi State, but he didn't know if he could be fair to coach Ray and be 100 percent committed."

So you're saying if Ray signed Malik that this wouldn't all go away? Who is being the retard?

Never said gray would've made us better. Just stated gray would've been on team

You forgot this quote after our last game:

“Next year, we’re going to be ready,” Hood said after that game.

And this is what I'm talking about.

It has to turn personal with the University of Stands people because they dont have anything else. Stands is more important to them than the actual school. Never seen anything like it. It's cult-ish

That quote was also made before he knew Sidney and Deville werent going to be allowed back. You dont think it's possible he looked at what was left and said there is no ****ing way I'm staying here with what's left???

Maybe if certain folks had supported Stans instead of trying to get him fired for 5 years it might have........that works both ways. The open defiance on the bench started well after the smear campaign started.
