So will Stans head to USM...

[coastdoglover]

You nailed 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?

[Dawg61]

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.

I'm not blaming Stansbury or Ray for the turnover the first season. That shit happens when you change coaches.

[drunkernhelldawg]

To get back to the original point, Stans does not want the USM job. So please don't spike the basketball when he doesn't get a job that he doesn't even want or seek.

[tcdog70]

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.

If you have noticed when this Board gets boring ole 34 bashes Stansbury, knowing a thread like this one will ensue. I am willing to never mention Stans again if 34 and His parrots will shut the **** up about Him. I'm ready to jump on the Rick Ray will get it done wagon this year Crowd, and If He doesn't I'll crawl back on the Rick Ray Sux train. as a famous Coach once said "Your Record is who You are" So depending on which side of Stansbury you line up on --why not go with that. After next year Ray's Record will tell us who He is.

A) Ohhh no- Stands will get brought up time and again every time he gets passed over for a job. You can try and say he wasnt interested in the Mississippi Southern job- but you dont go to Europe to recruit, hire a firm to help you get a job, and lock up juco Supahstar Devonte Pollard to just sit back and fish.

B) Stands record was indeed who he was: he was about 0-20 vs the RPI top 25 the last 7 years....and 29-39 for his career vs the big 4 in the SEC

[Madisonmd]

That record may look really good in the very near future!

You noticed that as well? Wonder if he prods one of his echo's to help start posts so he doesn't have to do all of them?

How many more months or years or coaches he will go thru to keep this up? Of course he can have Ray to bash in a year or so. Then we can look forward to the Stans/Ray bashing posts...Along with records, stats, and quotes from his unnamed sources that were either on the scene or got it first hand from their who the hell cares.

[Coach34]

and quotes from his unnamed sources that were either on the scene or got it first hand.

I love when this card is played. Nobody tells their sources or they wont get told shit anymore. But I will show you one for example:

http://www.elitedawgs.com/showthread...ghlight=Europe

"He will be a candidate for AU, Bama, and UGA if or when they come open. You might think this is crazy, but he's been recruiting a little bit. I mean creating relationships with potential prospects. He's been in Europe recently looking at a few kids. If he gets a job, Brooks will be first to head his way. Brooks has been recruiting Big Train's son for us. Stands has apparently gotten the fire back. We shall see"


Thick is related to people who have their name on shit at Mississippi State. He has also worn the maroon and white jersey. If you want to PM him and ask him who he is- be my guest. But when he says something, it's correct most of the time. Stop being a butthurt little bitch and just realize your hero isnt going to get hired

[tcdog70]

Once again Stats are for losers. Bill Lambeer of message boards, what a crock of shit. If you take Kentucky out of the the big four his record against the other three ain't that bad.Everybody loses to Ky. And I'll bet Stans record against them is better than most. When you figure we got ****ed out of at least 3 wins. How about His record against the Rebs? If this is the criteria for a Coach at MSU then why aren't you ranting against Dan *cough**cough**cough**cough**cough**cough**cough*, Has he very beaten a top four team?

[shannondawg]

Oh I ain't hurting, but if my friend wants to get back into coaching and I am sure he does, I hope he can. What's so wrong with a 50 year old man not wanting to stay unemployed, He
doesn't have to work another day in his life and still live better than most on this board as far as his and his family's financial well being is concerned.

And if he is doing the groundwork to make him a more viable candidate is that so wrong, something to be made light of or in your warped mind hilarious?

But for you to be gloating that he can't or won't be hired, is showing a serious character flaw.

"His family has their name on shit ." Carries a lot of weight for you eh?

Coach isn't "gloating that he can't or won't be hired". He's rustling jimmies of Stans' cult-like defenders who come running every time his name is mentioned -- that were ultimately proven wrong in the end while coach was right about Stansbury -- and has continued being right about him ever since.

When you have Stans' lovers saying "oh my gosh he's going to Auburn to bury us" -- and then have quite a few saying the same thing about USM -- you REALLY thought c34 wasn't going to call that out?

[engie]

You nailed it!

No -- he didn't. Not even close. That's the same guy that was calling Cohen "Croom" in year 2 -- even into year 3.

The ACTUAL reality is that you can't take much from years 1 and 2 of a rebuild. Everyone will judge Ray fairly based on results this year -- and if there isn't drastic improvement, I will be at the front of the bus questioning the direction we are going in...

[Coach34]

I'm glad he is your friend. Where you and Dawggeezer go wrong on the message board is that you cant be objective because of it.

It's ok for me and others to talk about his tenure, body of work, and future. That is what sports boards are for. His tenure wasnt all unicorns hauling candy chased by rainbows. If you cant handle people talking about him being unable to find another coaching job- you might just ought to sit it out. We've talked about Crooms and how he would never get another head coaching job- it's funny how nobody bitches when we make that statement. Or how Polk is too old coach again- you dont see Polk-lovers flying to his defense on that. But let one thing be said about Stands- and you cult members come from far and wide.

This stuff will continue to go on because I told Geezer and others he wouldnt be hired at a decent job after leaving State. Those guys liked to call names and assured me he would. Well, here we are 3 hiring cycles in- and still no go. To be continued...

[MadDawg]

Stop being a butthurt little bitch and just realize your hero isnt going to get hired

But you don't hate Stansbury. LMAO.

[MadDawg]

No -- he didn't. Not even close. That's the same guy that was calling Cohen "Croom" in year 2 -- even into year 3.

And this is coming from the guy that said Mullen had "lost it" and would never get it back and was ready to fire his ass.

exactly. It's all fun and exciting when these guys think Auburn is going to hire him. They came running and posting about how he would win at Auburn and we would suck. Now that you have been proven to look foolish, don't be mad about it.

[engie]

And this is coming from the guy that said Mullen had "lost it" and would never get it back and was ready to fire his ass.

I'm glad that 2 late overtime wins along with the dead last recruiting class in the SEC has convinced you 100% that I'm going to be wrong in the longterm...

Hey -- the coach that just took us to a NATIONAL title series is a worse hire than Croom though!!1!1 That's so very similar to me jumping off the bandwagon of a coach that hadn't won a game as a 1 point underdog in 46 tries -- 3.5 years for those keeping count at home before the Egg Bowl upset.

Hey, I say just keep screaming for Mullen to be fired. Eventually, like your mentor 34, you will turn out to be right.

Cmon now- I nailed Stands from the start. Hell, all this message board shit started back in Dec, 2003 when I said a Stands coached team would never make a Sweet 16.

So you only had to beat that drum for a mere 9 years. I'll bet engie won't even have to go that long.
