    Was this quote from CL meant to compare this year's staff with last year's?

    “The prospect of being surrounded by a committed, honest, and supportive coaching staff, as well as a great group of players, further heightens my anticipation of this upcoming season. I thoroughly look forward to my continued role within the program.”

    I wonder what the coach is anticipating.

    Maybe his 2nd time of hiring HIS staff will get more W's.

    I never understand how in sports, the head coach who hires the assistants, will have a bad year, or several bad years, then he gets to stay as the head coach and fires everyone else who HE hired. Long kinda reminds me of Bicknell inhis excuse making

    I, actually, agree with you on that happening quite often in sports. I believe it is due to pressure from the A.D. (and in our case, possibly the President) to make some changes to salvage your job and make them NOW.

    To be fair, though, Joni didn't want to leave. She got a sweet deal at Alabama (her home) and will move into that HC position soon. Her chances were better at making HC there than here. Scott was let go. Brooke left due to Scott being let go. So, actually, Long did not fire but one assistant, if I have my facts correct.

    Anyway, that was yesterday and we will find out what tomorrow holds. I hope all the right moves were made to get the Techsters back on track. I am tired of looking back. My Lady Techster anniversary print still hangs backwards on my wall. I hope after a few games next year, I can turn it around again.

    What matters is how it comes together this season. The use of the word "honest" by Ebony could be seen as a slap in the face to former members of last season's coaching staff, so it wasn't the best use of words.

    That said, the only persons who "know" that Joni didn't want to leave, are those closest to Joni.

    Long's staff and team failed last season. And the season prior. Thankfully, Malone and others stepped up to get Spoon on board, helping Long secure another chance to right the ship.

    Everything about the coming season sounds promising, except no post player. The new recruits sound impressive, the growth from last season sounds impressive, the staff sounds impressive.

    Two years ago, it all sounded impressive. Last season, same story.

    Let's see if this year, the "sound" of things will translate to the reality of things.

    With Spoon on board, there is a chance. Without her, it would have been just another long and painful season.

    So true Fan...,
    Last year I had such high hopes for the season!

    Again, I am looking forward to a great season!

    This new staff and the addition of some great recruits should prove to make for some substantial improvements.

    Let’s hope it’s not Deja vu again!
    (Pardon my French!)
