So will Stans head to USM...

[fishwater99]

Stans will never coach again at a major college. He might coach his kids in High School, but that's it.
He is just not a good coach and he left our program in a huge dumpster fire. He is also known for his dirty recruiting.
If USM won't take him, then who will?
He needs a few years on his retirement in MS and he should be set to fish all he wants on his lake.

[Coach34]

What gets me is that there are people actually surprised he isn't getting hired

What are you talking about? He hasn't "applied" for any job and hasn't found the one he wants*********

[tcdog70]

Why, the obsession with Rick Stansbury? You wanted Him gone--guess what He is gone. How about moving on and let's discuss our New Coach and the Job he is doing. But please use the same criteria for judging Him as you did Stansbury.

[Coach34]

Why is there never a mention about obsession when we talk about Polk, Jackie, Crooms, Etc? But if something is said about Stands, the cult members get their panties in a wad

[BulldogBear]

I was not for getting rid of him, but now that he's gone I haven't given him a second thought. I wish him well of course but I don't even know what he's doing now. Fishing, if he's smart, like somebody said. Does he still live in Starkville?

I'll tell you why, because he left his replacement, who happens to be Rick Ray, with a complete disaster to clean up. Coach Polk left a similar situation for john Cohen. Polk gets blasted all the time. The difference is, people who liked Polk at some point, like me, can admit it was a train wreck that he left. While people who liked stansbury, either in the past,or currently refuse to admit that Adolph rupp, dean smith or bobby knight could quick fix the mess he left. I get it, he had a good run for several years, congrats and I'm thankful for that. However, that doesn't excuse us not making the tournament w his last team, nor this crap he left. Coach Polk doesn't get a pass, nor should Stan's.

When do you talk about any of those?

Homedawg for the win...can't be said any better

[quickstrike2]

Stans gets brought up alot by the ones that were anti-stans, which causes the ones that were pro-stans to get into a pissing match. #stirringthepot

[MadDawg]

I seem to remember a certain poster that had "coach" in his moniker that used to defend Jackie after he was "fired" when the loons would come out saying outlandish things about him. We were actually on the same page way back when. And now that much time has passed, the ******s have stopped bleeding and the Midol has finally kicked in, Jackie is held in pretty high regard amongst the Bulldog faithful. Hopefully one day we will get to that point with Stansbury. But there is still a half a package of super heavy flow pads to go through before that happens I suppose.

Coach repeatedly says he doesn't hate Rick Stansbury. His actions do not back that up. He hated on him long before the Sidney ordeal. His logic is Rick couldn't get us to another level. Well I have news for him, we got to another level now and it is the pits. Stansbury told the college board member who called him that he was not interested in the USM job. Good for him if that is what he wants. I will guarantee you that there hasn't been a thread started by Coach34 that hasn't degraded or lambasted Rick Stansbury and his family when basketball comes up. Obsession is too nice a word to describe the actions. All the dumpster shit is just more propaganda by the ant-Stansbury crowd. Hood would have still been here and whether their were problems or not, Steele, Lewis, and some of the others would have kept us competitive. All this playing hard and other crap is bullshit. We played plenty hard when we won those championships and it is just another excuse to defend a dumb ass decision by our AD. We aren't going to break .500 in the league any time soon and the league is pretty damn bad other than the Blue grass boys and Florida. Now Auburn will improve and we are screwed. Be careful what you asked for, you got it. Even if our AD makes a change next year, who can be confident he will do any better? We have deemphasized men's basketball and it is all because of the product on the floor. I was told Gavin Ware's dad didn't even go to the last 6 games because it was too painful to watch. Enjoy it boys, you and your obsessed hateful leader, Coach34 got what you wanted.

[Homedawg]

Propaganda? If you can't see it was a wreck I can't help you. As for all this Hood would have been here, yada yada, we won't ever know. What we do know is he was looking and not happy when stansbury was his coach. So that's pure speculation. As for Steele, the guy wouldn't play. HE chose not to play. As for Wendell and others, I'm sorry smoking is more important than the program or playing. But look who brought them here, I'm not shocked. I keep hearing stansbury would have done this or done that, I watched his last team that was one of the 20 most talented teams in the country not make the tourney, That was enough. So keep kissing his ass all you want. He made is bed and now he can sleep in it. And do it quite wealthy, so I'm happy for him.

C34 is by no means my leader when it comes to basketball. But I am glad Bury is gone. He was right for the program for a number of years, but when he sold his soul to the Renardo Sidney types......I was done.

[Coach34]

Stansbury could get drunk and run over a couple of Girl Scouts with his vehicle and Dawggeezer would say- "well Stansbury had to stop them. They were selling all those cookies and making people fat."

[quickstrike2]

There was no way to keep Stans, he had a nice run and it had just about blew up. Why we keep bringing him up for jobs and laughing when someone else gets them is confusing to me.

[Homedawg]

I'll say this- hugh freeze sure would appreciate you stansbury disciples, because y'all are loyal to the end, the guy did no wrong.

[coastdoglover]

Why are you confused? This obsession has been endless for the last 10 years. Nobody ever said Rick had to be still here. He was a given a choice of staying one more year or take a full years salary and full pension. He made the smart choice . The only sick people who keep bringing him up are the haters. It is an agenda to piss people off and I guess it works. There is absolutely no reason to keep bringing him up other than hate and obsession and that is because the clowns who screamed for his dismissal are now embarrassed by what they got. As I said before, be careful what you wish for, you might just get it!

The bashing of Jackie didn't end until everyone had to finally admit Croom was an absolute failure. Bashing Jackie made them feel better about Croom. It justified the delayed expectations. It soothed the Saturday afternoon beatdowns. It reassured them, in lack of any real evidence , that they were right to demand we hire "anybody but Jackie".

Sound familiar?
