Or does that not qualify as "balls" these days?
Balls? A blind squirrel knew that Stansburry was done. Stans was done when he lost to Georgia, and he was already on thin ice. Scott was way under prepared for the search and it showed up big time by letting almost a month pass before hiring a new coach. Stans and Bailey were friends, but they weren't best friends by any stretch. I dont see balls; I see incompetence.


What I saw was a first time Athletic Director who fell flat on his face and failed to sell the program thus whiffing on choice A, B, C, and then finally option R was willing to sign on.

Just because somebody isnt a fan of Rick Ray, it doesnt mean they were fan of Rick Stansburry. It was time for Stansburry to move on; however, we did a piss poor job handling his replacement.
