I've been screaming for a change at presidency ever since we hired Cohen as ADQuote:

I don?t trust any of the staff to be capable of fixing the issues we have overnight. We just stuck with doodoo for another season like many of us expected.
It will get done but they are going to do it when the season ends. They will, OUT OF ALL LIKELIHOOD, not pull the trigger til then. Now, we get embarrassed the next two weekends and that could change.Quote:

Has an SEC team ever gone 1-29 in conference play?
This is where I?m at. I?ll still watch but can just laugh at them like the clowns they are now instead of get frustrated.Quote:

If the partially deaf and apparently mostly blind 80 plus year old Cigar Boys didn't see that debacle and hear the boo birds, they must all be in hospice care!
Yeah, did not mean it as a dig on Q. I'm an eternal optimist and I just could not see this team getting there.Quote:

Wow, we've even outdone 2022 and 2023. That's saying something. Thanks Lemon.Quote:

This ain't rocket science.Quote:

This is where I?m at now. No chance any one staff leads this team to a regional at this point. The hole is too big to climb out of.Quote:

If he is not getting the full time job.Quote:

He made a regional and got bounced. So we kindly gave him another pass because MAYBE he's turned it back around. Bad move. 1-9 now and there are no more gratuities. Time to go. Not another pass to lame duck skate the rest of this year.
Steve, do you know if Parker wants to be a head coach and is he capable and/or ready?Quote:

Not a huge one but we would have to negotiate buyouts for all of them. Parker is going to be a stiff buyout to eat.Quote:

No problem, nearly everyone of us either played little league or had kids play little league, so we are woefully over-qualified to evaluate Croomonis and Staff ineptitude!Quote:
