HUD and Vandy

[California Cajun]

That's not the point. Hud is going to do what is best for him and his family. The point is our admin, once again just as in conference realignment, didn't even ____ing try.

And as Turbine pointed out, who knows what he would have signed had this been presented to him in December? There were people who said FAU didn't have a shot at CUSA, yet their admin made the effort and it paid off. I'm sure there were many who thought Gus Malzahn who was constantly mentioned for SEC jobs wouldn't take the ArkState job, but he did. Those ADs didn't think small or drag their feet.

I don't know why we can't get out of the Sun Belt but when I don't see a blood, guts, and feathers campaign to join, renew, and increase RCAF membership something seems to be amiss. Why wasn't there some URGENCY to replace Ken Winstead immediately or better yet how do we lose him to Seattle?

These kinds of issues would me say hmmm... if I'm the football coach and I'm assessing UL's commitment.

at some point, this "is he leaving" business will get old. I'm gonna have to agree with hawk.

Williams says interviews will be conducted out of town at undisclosed locations. Hopes to leave later today and have a coach when he returns.

Williams: right candidates "need to understand Vanderbilt, who we are and what we want to be." Person who "fits" VU, not just a good coach.

That confirms that it will all be done at the coaches convention.

Winstead left for family reasons. He wanted to be closer to his children. He loved it here and thinks we have great potential. His departure had nothing to do with the working situation here. Now why it has taken so long to replace him is a question I cannot answer.

Mason is a perfect choice for Vandy, speaking without bias. Stanford and Vandy are similar academic institutions and he's been being groomed for a while.

i have $$ says its Mason!

Picture the talking Geico camel:

C'mon, Mike. You know why. Mike...Mike... Mike, tell me why?

Because that's not how we do it around here.

DO IT 'ROUND HEEEEEE-AAAAAAAHHHHH !!!!!!!!!!!!
