Apropos of nothing, I can recall a particular bloody "downsizing" or "rightsizing" my company went through in the late 80's/early 90's. The CEO brought in a hatchet guy to run our division for about a year. He was notorious for walking up to people and asking them what their job title was and...

I watched the last quarter of that game. It is hard to believe that Bama had reeled off 15 straight in that series. Who would have ever thought that possible back when we were kids? That is NOT a rivalry. Bama - UT used to be Michigan- OSU or Texas-OU in terms of regional big games. Another...

Thank you for sharing that with us.

That's ridiculous. The third has me thinking I was really good at calculus AND athletics as a younger man! You are talking about the 5th one my friend in your quoted post. I always come up with brilliant ideas but cannot remember them the next day. The one time I made it to 6 I was thinking...

I mentioned somewhere else about wanting to have beers with Ralph to ask a few questions. In 10 years, I think it would be interesting to sit down with CGC and ask him this question...."if you could do it all over again, what would you change?". 10 years is a significant amount of time for this...

Interesting that we may in fact look back at the Collins/Stansbury era as being necessary in order to involve the President into getting his hands dirty with the GTAA....something no other President has really ever done in my lifetime. And I ain't young. Is it possible that the recent...

I want to have a beer with Ralph Friedgen one day. At the very top of the list of questions is this - Shawn or Joe? I go back and forth on this one myself and have never been able to settle it in my mind. Second question - did the fact that Shawn played with a great D and Joe didn't alter your...

I saw Mavis Staples (of Staple Singers/Staple Family fame this past Saturday night. She is 83 years old but what a show she puts on. Small band (guitar, bass, and drums plus 2 backup vocalists). I strongly encourage you to see her if you like the blues/gospel/ R & B type of music. One of my...

Both Frank Caliendo and his twin brother Jon Gruden call that Spider 2 Y Banana iirc. ;)

Here? At work? Both? ;)

Thanks for posting this. I have always wanted to ask this question of someone closer to the process than myself. In retrospect, do you think it would have been better for Demetrius to focus and play just one position in HS? I ask this question bc, over many years and through various coaching...

When outlining objections against Mullen, you overlooked mine. His record AT FLORIDA wasn't that impressive and he got fired there. Florida is a school like LSU....not a perennial power like OSU or Bama but it has every single ingredient that a HC needs to be in the hunt for NC's. Winning 7...

To be fair, you need to be be more specific. Gailey and Johnson both had winning records based on % but I don't recall things amongst the fans as being all sunshine and roses. Now, Collins OTOH, at the end there he did in fact unite the fans unlike anything seen since GO'L and three in a row...

This is an assumption but there is a parallel I think to the business world. It's a paradox of sorts but a strong manager doesn't mind being challenged by a subordinate (in a professional manner of course). A weak or incompetent manager however doesn't tolerate it whatsoever. Which is odd as...

All good points but I think the assumption when the firings were done a couple of weeks ago I don't think ANYONE foresaw this team closing out the year on a 6-2 run (assumption being made here of course). Why throw the baby out with the bathwater? Because Key is an alum and former player of...

Just curious as to how Key's last 6 games MAY influence our AD search. Say we were to go 4-2 in the last 6 (very doable as is 2-4). That leaves Key at 6-2 as a HC with wins over most of our divisional opponents. That makes him an overwhelming fan favorite for the HC job and takes away some of...

I know some might say that this is premature but Coach Key alreaady has us back to the Johnson and Gailey level of play where we ARE competitive, at least with the teams in the ACC Coastal. There is no one left on our conference schedule that we will be unable to compete with and have a...

I picked us to win (7-13). Isn’t it said don’t bet against streaks and we are currently riding that glorious 1 game win streak. When you are hot, you’re hot.

So far it’s been great. We are undefeated under Coach Key! 😉
