You all say that no man is bigger than the program. This has been a constant refrain for years. So, let's honor GWE (he's ignoring this) and call this a FACT.
Said program has been on a roll thanks to the very hard work of some very dedicated staff members, and some very hard work by our players. I believe even OG Eagle would concede this to be a FACT.
We hire ONE MAN, and you are all about giving him carte blanche over a winning, successful program. It's HIS program, after all and he has to answer for it. So he can fire who he likes, hire who he likes, and that's just the way it is when you hire a new coach.
So which is it? Is one man bigger than the program? Well hell yeah.
Did it have to be this way? Not at all. Were these men who saved our program unable to coach or recruit at a high level? No?
So, let's call it like it really is, if we have the cajones. This program is not as big as Jay Hopson.
Well, my support, like yours, has been for USM. Jay Hopson is bigger than USM Football, so I'll let you guys do as you will.
At this point, I'd be supporting the destruction of the program I knew and loved.
I won't do that.
Hopson could easily have come in, kept everyone that wanted to stay, won anyway, and gradually brought in his own people. But he's too big for that.
It's HIS team, after all.
Not ours. HIS.
And while it's undoubtedly true that all head coaches have all the control over their programs, most don't walk through the door rubbing it in the face of the supporters.
I won't kiss up to the new boss man.
And that's MY right, because it's my money going to fund scholarships for HIS program.
This is just to explain myself. I don't care if you hate me for it. Greenwood and OG can tell you how to work the ignore button.
