Bustle, Lee, Rogers

[DestinCajun]

_ Our expectations are so low. Bustle has had 8 years. He shouldn't have to "rebuild" but reload. Having guys right behind last years starters to step up and carry the torch is a major part of being a college coach. There should be no excuses but some of you guys are already making excuses! If we keep Bustle after a losing season then I know we are not very serious about football. _

Cut out the "you guys" crap. Specifically, where do you see people "making excuses" for Bustle?

All over the place. He lost Des, Fenroy and Cherry so we should let him slide. He should have guys as good or almost as good to step in. You sound rather defensive of Bustle. Why don't you put your .02 in?

BUSTLE
Unless Bustle wins an outright SBC Championship or a bowl game he must go. He has taken this program as far as he can take us. As far as a replacement goes, we need to make a splash and find a "name" to hire or a big time OC/DC from a top 25 program. I'd prefer a DC over a OC though.

LEE
Lee has to go no matter what and we need to do the same with our search for a new HC. Find a guy who can recruit great athlets much like Jessie Evans had done. So what if he leaves after 4 or 5 years, it would mean we are winning and winning a lot.

ROGERS
Nothing he can do could secure his job for another year. Bring J Kelly Hall back!

I second that!!!!!!

_ And I see your point as a BIG problem!!! _

I do too. I'm not sure where to place the blame though. If we fire bustle...where do we go? Who do we get? How much can we afford to pay the new coach while paying the old coach? We are in a terrible economy that is getting worse.

"All over the place". That's hilarious.


I have put my cents in. Repeatedly. I'm up to like 70-80 cents.

I agree 100% with the above!

Who do you recommend for our football coach - Nick Saban?

We seem to be one of the few schools that can't get rid of coaches. We are signing them to sweetheart contracts. That is an administration problem. We hold no fire under the coaches rears. They are here for life or until they want to go. How many years did we give Stokley? At least he had some success to point to. After 8 years of Busted I see very little to show for it.

Don't you mean find a guy who can bribe great athletes much like Jessie Evans had done? If Evans is your idea of a model recruiter, I think Kelvin Sampson is looking for a gig.

This topic heats up every year around this time. How can anyone say they've seen no improvement?! Thats absurd guys. My first question to you nay-sayers would be, yes we are losing some very explosive players, but what makes you think that the players we have stepping in are incapable of producing? These guys are not shmucks. Remember how excited all of you were when we landed these recruits? What happened, did they forget the game overnight? The majority of the new starters have on-field, real time, serious game experience. The defense will impress us all, and our athletic reserves will be fine on special teams, a strong point for bustle's staff for years. 6-6, in my opinion, would be disappointing, but for not because i'm tired of losing. Its because i believe, objectively, we have the pieces to win now. Not to mention, who are these hot-shot coordinators and 'big name' HC we're going to hire? And afford? Bustle has done an excellent job laying a strong foundation. He deserves, at least a shot, to take us to the next level.
