Awful day...no FB. Other teams playing isn't really football to me. Weather too bad to play golf or fish. i was pinned down at home working the honeydew list. Happily I might add. Just in case.

This is more up to Key and Batt than anybody else (Prime Time, Chadwell, et al.) If these two guys succeed we won't care what the others do or do not in their positions. If, in year 3 or year 4, we are playing in Charlotte on this weekend I imagine that 95% of us will be happy.

You described my investment strategy over my lifetime to a T. I didn't know it had a name. It works well in investing (imo). The downside to this in sports is in the marketing side of things. It doesn't sell well to the average Joe on the street if your marketing slogan is Strategic Mediocrity...

This new information age is astounding. Nowadys, rumours are squashed before some of us even knew they were rumours. ;)

I think one's perception of them is sort of defined by your world view. Allow me an analogy if you will - I drive on the interstates at times. The 'law" says I can't drive over 70 mph. I typically drive between 75 - 77 mph and routinely am seen by the police or state troopers while doing so. I...

Sheesh. Based on my experiences in today's high schools, the "support" sytem in place must be stronger than I expected. OTOH, I have only taught at 2 schools. I have seen a few athletes in my time who were mid major or D1 level but not a single one did I think was cut out for GT or equivalent...

Maybe I am crazy. Or just getting old. But, for many, many years I looked down at that program and felt like it was WAY underperforming to its potential. Not at the level that TExas or USC has, but I always felt like they had everything they needed to be Bama or Ohio State. Possibly even more...

I think I get what you are driving at. It's discouraging though to cut corners AND still not be succesful. That's the worst of both worlds in my mind. It's that awful middle ground that is unpalatible (imo). A brief response. I agree with you. In cases where formulas are involved, I let the...

Your numbers are way overly optimistic based on my experiences as a HS teacher. Forget 4 or 5 star FB players...if you look at the general student body, I am looking at 3-4% who would even have a chance at getting in. In my 12 years, I have met two FB players who might have been GT material as...

Probably not easy I would agree but CBK did exactly that in the last 8 games imo. Whether we won or lost, it looked like they had indeed been coached. And were busting their tails. Yes, I like the wins but effort and eliminating the silly mistakes are non-negotiable to me.

I don't want to speak for him but he has already addressed this. I think this handle is a hair shirt that he has donned in response to being so quick to fall in love 4 years ago. He doesn't want to forget and will wear it like a scarlet letter of shame that he has self imposed. At least that is...

My "retirement" here (sorry the attorneys for all parties won't allow further elaboration) was made more palatable by the package I left with. I was able to dazzle the higher ups when first signing on with some eloquent razzle dazzle. And they fell for it!!! Look into it, it's a sweet gig. I...

His best (if it ain't, it's certainly in the discussion)....."Hang on brothers and sisters, we got a thriller brewing here at Grant Field".

Would it be fair to assume that not ALL former failed HC's would or should be considered? ;)

Look friend. I don't mean to be unpleasant but since I reached out to slugboy, the heat has intensified. I think our PM's have been disabled, if you know what I mean. Go to CB radio, channel 12. The mottled walrus will sing when the BBack has hit the A gap. Either you will know what this means...

@slugboy....my inside guy thinks that a possibilty for one of the newly created openings is a certain Jim Wintersmith now that the restraining orders have exceeded their statue of limitations and some other messy technicalities have been cleaned up a bit. I tried to keep this on the down low by...

My friend, if that is your data set, you have been fishing in a very shallow pond. ;)

As a high school teacher I have found that most people do not have whatever it takes to overcome a bad start in life. Apparently BGW21 has that rarest of traits that allowed him to NOT be defined by his circumstances. Kudos to this young man. He will go far in life with that mindset. ;)

While I get this train of thought, how many examples are there of guys who were successful at school x and y but then fail at z. Success doesn't always translate for a myriad of reasons. If this process were linear, the process of hiring would be simple.

I think that the handful of people who are angry at the hire don't understand budgets and constraints and are therefore directing their ire at Key as the scapegoat. If we should be angry with anyone, it's the previous administrations, both at the school level and the department level (GTAA) that...
