Some thoughts...
At our level we should always be on the look out for up and comers for coaches. If we hire right they will be hired away eventually. Mike White will eventually leave. Keep investing in the program and make it a prominent place people want to come.
Seeking stability gets you a coach nobody wants to hire away...(see football) Stability is overrated. National prominence for being a great place for up and comers is not.
I'm not sure what to think about this interaction.Quote:

The ABA has some funky rules, but the game was exciting to watch.Quote:

I incited the "You're not a real state, you're just a bunch of Mormons" chant during the Utah State game a few years ago, if that rings any bells for anyone.Quote:

Were you the guy that incited the "Bicknell revolt" during the UNT game back in 2007? Someone (maybe you?) held up a homemade sign during the game (which was televised) that said "JOAKES on us!"--or something to that effect. It was literally a case of a core group of Tech fans taking a stand against the administration keeping JBIII any longer. The bad news is, Jim Oakes' wife got very angry and confronted the core of Tech fans around the sign, and we were told here on BB&B that things got a very tense. Nobody wanted that.Quote:

I've often wondered how things would have gone for LA Tech football if those fans didn't take a final stand that night. Would we even have a Jumbotron today? Probably not.
As a matter of fact, every good thing that has happened to Tech since 2004 was due to my efforts. :icon_wink:Quote:
