They wanna be us
He's a cocky son of a gun ain't he? I'll be honest, I kinda like that though. He's not a bad coach at all.
He's gonna be like Vitello at Tennessee, if they don't commit to facility improvements then he's going to bolt.
That didn't come off as cocky to me at all. Sounded really good. And agree with poster above who says he's going to leave without investment in facilities.Quote:

That AD of his is wishing like hell they hadn't been sent to the Dude for a Super, haha
Nothing wrong with what he said. He put his fanbase, supporters, and administration on notice. He's saying they just played in the best college stadium in America and the best crowd support.
He wants better.
Ain't a damn thing wrong with that. and I like him a lot more after listening to this interview.
Indeed. He better get to work on securing something major this year.Quote:

He grew up in Tallahassee and played for Florida State. Wonder how many years they will give Jr there.
At Notre Dame's level. As mentioned. there aren't too many programs that would dare try to come get Lemon from us.Quote:

Sad thing is they have a LOT of room that can be reclaimed and expanded upon. Adding some suites or club seats would be my first choice over the existing grandstand but they dont have the enthusiasm for it...
Of course. they built that one back in 94. might be easier to start over.. that way they can incorporate the clubhouses and other things underneath.
It will never happen though.. and he will leave for a better place within 5 years I would say.
