Baylor on the schedule

[GermDawg]

Most of the one's who KNOW what's going on have been underwhelmed at best with his management style...

Still a lot of the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing coming out of that department

He is entering his second year, so I will be interested to see where we stand come this time next year

My biggest issue is on the academic side of the equation with the support staff - especially after the near bowl fiasco

Even though the school hasn't released it, we lost our best guy to Georgia Southern for a mere $20k increase and it appears we are going CHEAP again and double task load on the existing skeleton staff...

So call it negative or whatever but it is what it is...

OK so start a thread on those issues, or general Ath. Dept. concerns, the activity of shooting down everything he does because of issues in other areas comes off as petty and makes it seem like a personal vendetta. This isn't a bad deal, and to poo-poo it because he's not performing well in other areas does no one any good.

Is it a good deal?

Looks great from a distance but looks more like a butter-face to me when you get up close

Personally I feel we got WELL below market for our services and as much as I wanted Southern here, it appears we grossly overpaid for that game...

You are a numbers guy - do the ciphering and convince me otherwise

a body bag game is a body bag game is a body bag game. none of us are talking about the possibility of winning, just how much we will make

Maybe some are but the people I am talking to are looking forward to not being invited back to Baylor for another 25 years after we kick that ***!! We are already giving our boss heck about this game. Honestly, it is a win win situation for them. Art Briles will be gone (one way or another) before this game arrives.

Hmmm.... So we hire a 31 yr. old AD on the cheap and wonder why he can't change the culture of mediocrity at LA Tech/La Tech that has existed for a long time. Talk about expectations! Hell, I remember threads where we were ecstatic because Dooley actually used a power washer on the facilities. Now we are talking to a Top 10 team about a series......The left hand hasn't given a damn about the right hand since our current AD was in grade school. Red dot away!

Can a "no buyout" clause be put in the contract?

It could, but it won't be signed. No reason for any school with money to sign something that money can't get them out of. I would love to see contracts with outrageous buyouts. I would love to see coaching contracts that require home games from schools that hire our coaches away. I would love to just see contracts across the board that have to be honored. Will never happen.

Yes. Back in August, McClelland told the Shreveport media that he was working on a home-and-home contract with an SEC school.

Then he is.

I know a guy who could straighten out the academics.

Not sure to whom you are referring, but they went the "gal" route.

I would assume it is a female!

I refuse to get excited about a home game with a decent ooc until I am parking my truck and walking up to the gate.
