Kendall and Art,

Ok it just came out the other day that Art Briles was found innocent of all things at Baylor by a Federal Judge. The NCAA has not charged him with anything either. So if that is the case why not hire Kendall, his son as head coach, and his dad, Art as OC. Kendell would hire some great assistant coaches and the recruiting would go off the charts. If nothing else hire Kendall as head coach and go from there.

Who would you hire?

Think most of us see the writing on the wall regarding Hall, but who out there could we realistically get?

Armstrong: Making 1.1 million as DC at Florida. He may want to be a head coach more than we wants another couple hundred grand but who know. Also Napier may not be around at Florida much longer so job security could also sway a decision to come be a HC.

Austin Davis: does he want to grind, quite the OC job at Auburn before he even started, but I do wonder if alot of that had to to with the dysfunction of the program.

Kendall Briles: making 1.25 million as OC at TCU but again does he need to get those Head Coaching reps in before the P5 job comes calling.

Charlie Weiss Jr: making 1.4 million at Ole Miss but same as Kendall Briles does he need to step down to get HC experience.

Larry Fedora: is he done with coaching?

Who else you got?

What next?

Often, a boxer will rise from the canvas semi-consciously and ask, “What happened.” In like manner, the question manifests itself after a severe accident. USM fans were undoubtedly perplexed by the question late Saturday night.

Many expected an excellent season capped by a bowl appearance; however, a losing season may be on our doorstep. What went wrong?

Losing Armstrong was a significant blow, and a competent successor was not hired. We lost many good defensive players to graduation and injury.

The team is as lifeless as a cat in its ninth life. No fire, no excitement as compared to the bowl-winning players. Unbelievable.

Coaches make blunders on every level.

It will take a great deal of work to right this ship, and it must begin with the players' attitude. Things must change quickly if any kind of a successful season is to be had.

Story in CL re classless billboards

The story says that 2 billboards were put up in Mobile disrespecting South Al and Mobile. They had USM logos. Wommack heatedly called out the billboards postgame. Please tell me these were not sponsored by the University. If so, it is one of the most classless things I’ve ever seen. We need to know who’s responsible for this and appropriate action taken. Sports teams rise and fall, but this type of classless behavior is not acceptable.

Left Behind

Sitting here lamenting the current state of our football program after attending the Mobile Massacre last night and wondering how we’ve fallen so far behind in competitiveness and facilities. Night and day between South’s new stadium and ours while staring at their IPF. They were 3-3 and still had a decent crowd. Two programs going in opposite directions. We would be lucky to draw a few thousand if we hosted a Tuesday night game. We’ve become what OM was in the early 80’s when I attended USM and they spoke of the glory days of the 60s in that we speak of the 80s/90s. Fast forward and they’re top ten and we’re bottom ten. Sure, money is a huge factor in that we have very little. Unfortunately, given our bottom barrel budget we needed home run coaching hires to make up the difference. Since Monken we pretty much soiled our bed in hires. Subpar administrators bringing in subpar athletic directors has resulted in the total irrelevancy of our once respected program. I watched a team last night with no pride or effort get totally dismantled by a team that didn’t exist until 2009. That’s a bitter pill to swallow.
I will still attend games to visit with friends but my expectations for on the field success in the future have evaporated. I have no solutions other than my winning the Powerball and benevolence.
