true. as bad as i hate to say it
This is as close to the truth as y'all are going to see in public. These are some entitled mother17res that don't care about anything but what they want. They have a candidate they want, they are going to twist things and block things as long as it takes until it goes in their favor and the get their guy. Program be damned as long as the get their win. We Are Misitippy Tate.Quote:

Or.....and this is controversial....tell them to stop being a bunch of losers who hang out with college kids and their girlfriends. Tell them to cut the GD checks and get the 17 out of the way. That's the way real programs do it. The actual money people do that. It's the 50K millionaires in our fan base who expect to be treated like multi million dollar donors.Quote:

Under Cohen, it was the baseball boosters and the Madison Co bros. Selmon has taken it back, but it still having to deal with them because they became so empowered under Cohen.Quote:

WTF Todd? Every 17ng body is glad Lemongead is gone. Parker ain't getting this job unless he wins the CWS.Quote:

If the new coach turns out bad, they are going to blame it on the Search Committee. A very politically correct good move on their part, don?t you think? I am hoping that they actually greatly consider the search committee prospects.
The Parker Group, the firm we are using, is very reputable. They also don't make the choices. They just go find the candidates and then it's up the AD and whoever is helping on the committee to interview and whatnot. The only thing The Parker Group is really doing is vetting stuff for us. They'll compile an initial list, probably 25-30 candidates and will start vetting them. The people that Selmon has around him helping him with this will then go over those results with The Parker Group and narrow that list down to 8-10 names and that is where the search begins in earnest.Quote:

I could absolutely see these same folks pushing for Parker over a 4 game sample size especially if they think they already have a relationship with him that they want to hold on to.Quote:

Not anything big but just how the players are progressing. Then when they go to these scrimmages and stuff they already have a built in connection with the coaches so they let them around the players.Quote:

But I am not sure if it helps us on getting to the final candidate with so much interference of alumni.
Bingo. If we announce O'Connor as our new coach the day after the brackets are announced (assuming UVA doesn't make through no fault of O'Connor), then we can all rally around the new coach, and if Parker can make noise in the postseason, cool.Quote:

You owe it to the players, parents, ticket holders, SEC good faith, the MSU brand, and Elite Dawgs to fight for the season. Tanking seasons or the last 60 games is something that people hate about MLB.Quote:
