    Personally, I wouldn't mind him being who we go to next as the AD. He has paid his dues and has a much better track record as an AD then Loafers does.

    Stricklin made the right call to fire Stands. No doubt about it.

    Where Strick made the mistake is that he had not been reaching out and basically having someone ready to hire when he made the call. Jacobs had Pearl lined up for a few weeks now. Hell, he met with Stands a couple of weeks ago. Jacobs was proactive and got it done- Auburn looks great. We looked pathetic in the process once Prohm and a couple others turned us down.

    Yes, exactly. He didn't have a plan once he fired Stans. He looked like a complete moron. He also created a PR nightmare with the Murray State AD as well. His other mistake was hiring the coaching search firm. It did absolutely no good and also did a lot of bad. The best way to get feelers out is through these guys agents anyway. Shit, I am not connected in that world but even I know that.

    Yes, I agree with you C34 Stans did have to go but Stricklin couldn't have screwed up the hire any worse then if he hired a six year old to do it and pick a random name out of a hat.

    Why's that? He didn't get Mullen. He slaughtered our basketball program. Why does he get a pass? Joe Dean Jr. looks pretty damn good from where I'm sitting.

    Same reason LT lasted so long. He can botch a couple more basketball hires and survive imo...I could be wrong but I think he is in pretty good standing with the President and the big money
