Wonder which side this initiated from.
I guess he wasn't pro KKK enough after Dan Jones started them down the path of the 21st century. Jones is the one that started getting rid of racist symbols. Vitter should have been fired for letting that walking abortion that is known as the landshart represent a public university.
But Bdork is still there.
Say what you want Bjork did a hell of a job. If he would have been the AD in the Redmond situation he would have had an additional 21 games to play in his career
Yep, Bdork is the wheel that keeps the Network spinning. He's the perfect AD for what ole miss wants to accomplish.Quote:

Something I have notice dear Archie has not been mentioned since the rev Freeze situation reared its ugly head.
Lack of Institutional control could be a factor, or Vitter hasn't been comfortable since stepping into that rats nest, just looking for a jumping off point on that wild ride.
Maybe Vitter just got tired of managing the trash.Quote:

Wasn't Vitter's choice.
He "resigned" about as much Stans "resigned."
I'm sure Haley has deep ties to the Network, if not a charter member.Quote:

You know they will look into all that has gone on and look at Vitter's time having to pretend everything was under control and then knowing his day to day activities were nothing like a normal school President was supposed to have.
There was a reason they kept the Pillsbury doughboy as head coach. Same reason they haven't gotten rid of Djork. We'll see how it plays out with the school head. Stay tuned.
I think Haley Barbour would be a disaster for them. It might be a little bad for Mississippi State in the short term but long term I think we would come out way ahead.Quote:

That'd be hilarious if true.Quote:

I really hope they hire an Academic rather than Barbour, then fire Bjork and replace him with a well qualified AD. Let the new chancellor run the academic side and the AD run athletics. Perhaps I am too much of an idealist, but athletics and academics should not overlap. The tail should never wag the dog. In a perfect world, that is how it would be, but the world of college athletics is so far from perfect now it makes me ill.
The only thing that may be altered is the scheme of diversion.
But he would have the right "Suthun accent" for them.Quote:

I'm not looking for that to happen because the network runs things. Ideally for them I'm sure that they would want another Khayat.
They're a football school in the sense that the decisions with the football program dominate decisions for the whole university there- but what they have essentially done is created an almost closed chain because of how they expect things to be done there with regards to recruiting. And what that has led to is only a small pool of coaches that typically have ties to Ole Miss that are the only ones willing to work there (Freeze, Luke, Brewer). That will always limit their upward mobility in the sport.
And while they got off light with the NCAA-I highly doubt that they will ever try to recruit nationally by buying out players from under people like Georgia, Notre Dame, and Alabama ever again. Which is for them basically the only model where they can build a consistent winner that can go to NY6 bowl games.
In the meantime we've built a really good football atmosphere that is better than theirs and we will be going to our ninth bowl in a row and have a great chance to win 8 games....all the while going through a coaching staff transition.
Shep Smith fits old myth to a tee.
Hate to see his gay ass back in Mississipp.
