  1. You're supposed to just get your ass kicked and smile, I guess.
  2. You are god damned right we are going to win.
  3. Surly's dream Athletic Department would just be men in suits screaming "WE LOST TO KANSAS!" at each other for 8+ hours a day. Sounds like a fun gig, honestly.
  4. You'd figure that a guy with NFL dreams would put in EXTRA effort on the field, but apparently it's worth missing out on NFL cash to spite a new coach you don't like.
  5. Yeah, which is what 99% of football fans do by not paying any attention to press conferences. There are pieces of actual information any coach gives (injuries, depth chart, etc...), but "coach speak" is just vague answers to even vaguer questions. Question: "Did the team buy in?" What is a REAL answer to that question? It's 100 different personalities going on and they're all doing things over the course of months. There is no real answer to this, so everything said is mostly BS. Elite coaches to garbage coaches. Straight-shooter coaches to politician coaches. Question: "Are you going to get it turned around?" How the hell can a coach know the answer to this? I can't see the future. For all I know my team will rally around something and win out, or they'll all get in a huge fight over FIFA. Or the other teams will collapse in their own ways. And on and on and on. We get stupid answers because we ask stupid questions. And any real questions will never be answered, for good reason. "Between Card and Thompson, which guy has the most support among the players?" "Which coach do you have the least confidence in?"
  6. He's getting paid fat stacks of cash regardless of what happens, why so nervous? Calm down, Steve, get confident. You're rich!
  7. New defensive coaching staff buys him next year.
  8. This is the kind of stuff that keeps me on the "keep this staff intact and give them 3 years" train. It takes a lot to instill culture, and we are all cynical because we've heard it before, but it is necessary and it has to be done at some point.
  9. This move is the greatest thing he's ever done for the program, by far.
  10. I'm down. Give him 3 years at TCU to get him ready.
  11. I hope we wait forever. Wouldn't make sense to be "KEEP IT PRIVATE!" about the video but not how it's handled. The actual problem is that we don't trust the program to handle it right. If we had more trust, we'd just assume the leaker was suffering a thousand deaths that would make him think transferring or being kicked off the team was a blessing.
