[QUOTE="slugboy, post: 899774, member: 282"] Cabrera said why they fired Stansbury and Collins during his talk. He said it was because of poor football results over 3+ seasons. I believe he also said that that the Athletic Department wasn't going in the right direction. I saw reasons for keeping Stansbury, and I understood the financials of keeping Collins through the season. Neville has been on the Board of Trustees and is not new to this situation. You could have asked him. Also, it’s not hard to figure out the answer to your question. Stansbury was the AD. He vouched that Collins would turn the program around. Stansbury said we had close one-score games and those were the difference. He argued that we’d lose last year’s recruiting class if we fired Collins at the end of the year. In four games this year, we lost to Clemson by 41-10, beat WCU 35-17, lost 42-0 to Ole Miss, and then lost to UCF 27-10. The administration was embarrassed by the last two games of last season, looked at the first four games of this season, and saw more embarrassment coming. If Schultz's question was "why did you fire Stansbury and Collins?", he's not investigating things very well. BTW, Schultz has said he understands firing Collins--just not Stansbury. Neville did answer what they're looking for in a new AD, and the second thing he said was roughly "someone who can navigate a rapidly changing NCAA". That's really the answer--we weren't adapting quickly enough. What was there for Cabrera to answer? [/QUOTE]
