Why is no one talking about this II

[ManAboutTown]

Yes!

Haha. Just having some fun with these guys beej.

My bad... guess it's not a big deal...

I guess the fact that his bio pretty much mirrors what everyone around here wants for UL doesn't mean much. Everyone has a lesser resume at some point.

No, you have a right to your opinion! I just wanted to know where you were coming from, that's all. If he succeeds, we all should be excited. I looked at his resume when I first met him and knew he was young and willing to take the position head on. I guess I was just hoping for someone that had a more prominent background and resume. But now that he is on board, let's hope he will be successful and now they can focus on hiring an RCAF Fundraiser.

No, I hear you! I'm just amazed at how many people actually believe it!

this board can be crazy if they would have hired an old guy a bunch of people on here would have called him a fossil and said it was the same ol same ol they hire a new guy young guy and now you're saying he's too young for the job let's just be happy that we have somebody in place and see what he does

[RaginDave]

if he fails it is because he sucks not because he's young or not because he's old let's hope we got the right guy that's all we can hope for

[CajunEXPRESS]

Not sure what that has to do with anything. I don't think the hire was made because of "Big XII" ties, but he was there while they were in the Big XII, built relationships with other Big XII schools and was in Houston whenever the fallout happened.

The inference was the hire was a plan to get involved with the Big XII. I am sure he has ties, very low end stuff with other Big XII low end employees, nothing to get worked up about.

But feel free to invest in fantasy Island.

Guess that's why I fired back at CajunT. Nothing personal, just want to give this guy a chance before we ____ on him.

Dave, I think you read into my comments what you wanted to read. I was pretty clear in stating that I was hoping for a person with a more prominent background and resume, you substituted the word old. There is no debate that his resume falls short of what we had in Ken Winstead and when you look at the position he came from at Houston, it was a low level position. Now that it is official, I support him and hope that he is successful because that means the athletic program is going to be successful.

This position was badly needed. I've said we're about three people short in administration. The fund raiser will still be hired. That gives us more manpower and more ideas.

And, we needed someone in marketing and promotions BADLY.

The question is not young or old, but accomplishments and an ability to project future accomplishments. We do not want to be like TooLame for years hiring older coaches they thought were not going to leave for greener pastures, and at the same time we want someone who has already proven he can get the job done. Please no on the job learning please, please.
