Or, people will maintain current giving rather than decreasing. I think that is most likely.
Edit: which means our athletic director needs to find more supporters. Should have been for the last 30 years.

Tim Brando has no inside connections. Those who say what Brando is saying also think we should have kept Skip around indefinitely, they ignore this was partly Skips decision and they enjoy Tech losing

I thought it was made clear this was not something Skip was considering until he was told about it.

who made that clear? Think Skip was all in on the job? Even he couldn’t say he was.

It appears Skip would disagree with you and wanted to make it clear he did not make this decision. Of course he forgot to mention in this video how bad his most recent record was.

So, Skippy says he was terminated. This wasn't some mutual agreement, blah, blah, blah...
Well then, my opinion of Guice & Wood just went up one notch. Now, we'll see what they do with a replacement.

… got to say “compete” one last time though
Re: Will you increase financial support in light of coaching change?
Lets just cut to the chase, if you can't win more than three games in this conference, you deserve to be fired. Especially if you're in year 9. It wasn't a talent issue, because if it was you couldn't have played Moo State, NC State and SMU down to the wire. That's a coaching issue , period, and one that needed to be remedied. Thankfully the administration did what was necessary to begin to bring this program back to where it needs to be.

There are still those in the media that think we should have kept Bicknell too.
I think Roy Lang was the biggest one who was angry we fired Bicknell.

What better than to have a guy you like piling up the losses for a team you hate?

Those would be the ones not giving to LTAC anyway like many on this board.

Agreed!

As I understand it, Tech has one of the lowest student athletic fees in the FBS. With that said I think Tech should put a $100 athletic fee per student per quarter. Then you will generate roughly 4 million a year. I think we can attract a really good HC at 4M per year!
