Ray's job according to stricklin

[engie]

Engie I am joking about firing now ,end of season fine with me . Question is will it happen or is one more year . Question 2 is our AD lining someone up or is a like before? Me I be calling someone like the Bucknell coach (Dave Paulsen).

I think Strick is gauging interest right now and figuring out what kind of $$ figure he is going to have to dangle...

Several here can give you Stans' account of what actually happened(most likely directly from him -- I know Geezer said Stans called him and was stepping down and that actually broke the story if memory serves correctly). I don't really think Strick was planning to have a coaching search last time and thus the explanation of why he was woefully unprepared when the decision came down. I think Stans was given a laundry list of ultimatums, some of which he simply couldn't/wouldn't agree to, and he walked and left us scrambling. I know it's common perception that he was "fired" -- but the people I trust most on the topic have generally told me he had the option of coming back along with some major forced changes...

Paulsen would be a pretty good hire, but there are a few logical options that I like more. He has some great years, but too many bad years mixed in IMO...
