I think it is perfectly fine to discuss Rhule's past performance and to speculate (even wildly and unsupportedly) about future performance on the football field. I DO think that there are many on this board with such an axe to grind over Prestonwood that the mere appearance of a football coach there is enough to make them say silly, nonsensical things that do little more than lay bare the writer's naked animus. FYI, "animus" is an attitude, not a body part.witchmo said:
I want our head coach to do just what Matt did and do it well, like he did. Could be wrong, but my opinion is that Baylor will not settle for mediocrity on the football field. It's pretty much a lock that our coaching staff has this same mindset. The discussion on the other thread appeared to unveil the conviction that won-loss record was less important than religious fervor. This is not an either-or but a both-and, and there were some leaps across wide gulfs in comparing Matt with Grant in terms of football success. Both fine men; both excellent communicators and representatives of all that is central and right about BU. If there are doubts about this staff's future success in coaching here, why is that not open to discussion? The only accurate thing I see is that the jury is still out on this question.
We have "bad dudes" now too... they just aren't very good or some might argue (including me) they are put in a system that is set up for failure.BellCountyBear said:
The only question that really remains is whether we can win consistently without "bad dudes".
How many successful, winning D1 football programs are there out there that don't have some "bad dudes"? I'd put that number at - let's see - oh, yeah - zero.la1037 said:We have "bad dudes" now too... they just aren't very good or some might argue (including me) they are put in a system that is set up for failure.BellCountyBear said:

UT, OU, TCU, UTSA, KSU, OSU's (etc.) bad dudes are just better than our bad dudes.

BOR doesn't care about bad dudes. They just care when bad dudes get reported to judicial affairs and muck up the fantasy bubble narrative of Baylor's self-image.

Makes me wonder who applied pressure?

Just a guess, but the drivel spewed by about a dozen CAB faithful is not beneficial to this community as a whole.
Piss poor leadership does not necessarily mean conspiracy theory. I kinda like this one, Keyser.Keyser Soze said:
More like not needing to hear the same conspiracy theories again and again from this guy

I believe the point being emphasized is it belongs on other forums on the site. No problem discussing non football topics on non football appropriate forums like chit chat, politics, etc.
That's a way too pertinent question. Prepare to get hammered.Tiny Elvis said:

Au contrair, Mr. Dick Willis. Football is exactly where this belongs. Are you the one trying to get this deleted in the first place?WILLIS said:Stranger said:

We were discussing the criteria that the BOR used when hiring Rhule as a coach.
It was Mack that hired him, but don't let the conspiracy change.Bill Blazejowski said:Quote:

The BOR hired him? I was under the impression that it was Mack Rhoades' hire all the way. He had interviewed him for the Mizzou job when he was AD there and wanted to hire him but had a lot of internal pressure to promote one of the coordinators. All BU media had reported that this was Mack's guy all the way.
Do you have insight into the BOR's role in the hiring process? It sounds like you have some inside information.

Why?
It's about the football coach.
The best thing Grant Teaff ever said was at the pre game prayer in 1972 or 73 when asked about the game. Grant told a national TV audience "I'd rather be playin than prayin" !witchmo said:
