Rosebowl say on Bo Bounds

[Tbonewannabe]

i may be reading too much in to it but his press conference looked like a defeated guy. almost like he was gonna cry or something. like he is moving on or being told he needed to move on. He really wasn't his usual self. it was more of a defeated look.

And that was after a win. He doesn't look like that even if they tell him to win the Egg Bowl or be gone.

We also have a lot more money on hand (SEC deals) to make decisions sooner. Back then buyouts and things of that nature really did factor in to decisions quite heavily forcing things to drag on longer than they should.

Money on hand? I don't know about that. More revenue? Certainly. More spending? Also certainly.

We have been in the black for multiple years. As much as $10 MIL+ in profit more than once. Most definitely we have money on hand. 2017-2018 year it was little over $14 MIL alone

This. Plus there's plenty of folks waiting to contribute to the "GoJoe" fund.

The buyout is not a problem.

Yep.

All things state sucks. All things OM are golden.

He must've been reading the boards.

Exactly. It's not rocket science.

Been ready since right after UT.

Nope. And don’t have to use Seal money either, if we do choose.

[Commercecomet24]

Exactly! I think some people still think it's 20 plus years ago where we would've just had to ride this out. It's a different era now and the funds are available for us to do whatever is needed to be successful and as you said without touching the Seal money either.

[gtowndawg]

Nope. And don’t have to use Seal money either, if we do choose.

And we have a huge CBS deal coming down the pike as well...

You serious Clark? This I know.

What if we?re not firing him and he just leaves on his own win or lose? Other than Cann I can?t remember MSU outright firing someone from a major sport. It?s always a resignation.

Resigning does not equal 'leaving on your own'.

They are told to resign or be fired. That doesn't mean you weren't fired.

[Saltydog]

But if he left on his own wouldn't he forfeit the remainder of his contract versus us firing him and be forced to pay him...?.

[Really Clark?]

You serious Clark? This I know.

Has it sunk in to everyone how (if the winning the EB keeps his job rumor is true) the bar is being lowered right in front of our eyes ? I mean is beating a historically bad 4-7 OM team at this end of CF of a season is our standard of success now ? I can't believe what I'm seeing IF this is true.

Talk about lowering your goals. I could understand if we lost most games like we did KSU but most games were over in the first quarter. We weren't even competitive in most SEC games similar to Arkansas. We just won UK and Arkansas and didn't have an embarrassing loss like North Texas or whoever. UM has a worse record by one game because they had one more game that they lost on basically one possession. We also didn't play Memphis which is basically the difference.

I think we should make a change, but I don't think keeping Moorhead at 6-6 is lowering the bar. There is a sliding scale with firing a coach early in his tenure. If some people think that Moorhead has underperformed, but that 8-4 and 6-6 regular seasons the past two years are not quite bad enough to fire a guy after two years, I can understand that logic and don't think it's lowering the bar per se. We've never really been in a position to fire a coach for underachieving when he is still about average recordwise. It's new territory for us. If in year 3, we were lucky enough to have 8 mediocre teams or worse on our schedule and we looked this unimpressive while getting to six wins, and then also didn't show up in games against good teams, I think it'd be harder to stomach keeping him. But firing a guy after two years is still a relatively rare occurrence.

His buy out is not a problem but if we hire a coach we might have to pay his buy out as well and pay him. If we make the move it has to be the right one. I don't think we can get a redo after a redo. You are talking money.
