1 and 2 are the only real options and likely we will be a 3rd or 4th best option for Danielson. Bell is probably our best bet but I don't want another guy with no HC experience. 7 seasons of watching Dave "learn" on the job has been painful.


Imagine wasting another year with Dave Aranda football just to hire guys we could've already hired last year. What purpose did another of Dave serve?

This type of resource mismanagement doesn't get hammered hard enough by the BOR. It's fine if you think Traylor or Danielson are the guys, but if they are then why are we not already in Year 1 with them? There was no value to waiting.

True but, it's a dead horse. Why are we still kicking it?

Why not? He has demonstrated turnaround ability. That is something that is valuable to BU.

From a practical standpoint, there was $4 million worth of value in waiting an additional year.

But the real reason the trigger wasn't pulled last year is that Rhoades went and got himself fired, leaving no full-time AD in position to evaluate the situation and oversee the firing/hiring process.

Rhoades' philandering earned Aranda a stay of execution. It's really no deeper than that.

Yes. Among other things, Rhoades screwed the fans and the university.

I just think McNamee could've made that decision and hired Traylor or Danielson last year.

It would have been a rushed process, and they clearly didn't want to do that.

McNamee wasn't hired until Dec. 8. Asking him to hire a football coach in a matter of a week or two as his first order of business wouldn't have been fair to him or likely been a very high-quality or thorough process.

As frustrating as it was to wait, I can't really believe Blake Linda and Co. for wanting to treat both the AD and inevitable football coaching searches with care and diligence they deserve.

Yes, hiring Bell......even considering Bell would be an absolute disaster. This board would be more negative than at any time in Aranda's tenure.

Yes likely the wheels would come off the program. The posters here really have no clue what being fans of a program like that is like. They think being a .500 program is pure trauma. But yes that would be a move very reminiscent of the Steele hire.
