They have already done that. The notice was that they are pleased with the job he is doing and want him to continue doing it for the next 3 years.

got home late last night and didn't get to see either of the games. and based on what i've read, i'm glad i didn't. i'd probably be shopping for a new laptop this morning 'cause i probably would've smashed the one i have into the wall last night had i watched us blow another double digit lead! i ain't gone lie. i'm probably a little different than most aggies, i'm emotionally tied to the blue and gold. when they lose games they aren't suppose to lose, it bothers me emotionally. that's why i haven't been to a homecoming game over the last 3 or 4 years. i usually go every year, but losing spoils my mood. something has to be done about our men's basketball program. i can't envision going into next season with the status quo! something has to change! wheels and/or martin need to reel eaves' azz in and put him on notice! fix this, or be gone! our men's performances this year are simply unacceptable! i swear, were it not for the women's team, i wouldn't have gone to most of the games that i've gone to this year... Good to see you've got your glasses on now. Here's the problem. This is the REAL issue......... THE FAN BASE DOES NOT CARE ENOUGH! Period. The fan base knows and cares about football. Look at the posts on this bball board a year ago and look at it now and you see 2 totally different views from the same people. For the most part, most of the fan base has no idea what the heck is supposed to be going on. Let's face it, the only reason Hunter was let go was because his 1-26 season became a public embarassment. He had players to flunk off one was even accused of a bad crime, but it wasn't until he only won 1 game that the fan base "got it". All I can say is, GET USED TO IT. And don't give too much credit to this guaranteed money thing with Eaves. One year, Hunt had Wake, NC State, Carolina, AND Duke on the schedule!!! A monkey in a suit can schedule the games that Eaves does. Give it up to the man, he's a hustler and he's got a good dummy for the game he's running. You might not like it, but it's true.

Did anybody other than myself notice the Don Corbett, father and son duo in the stands last night? Could it be a sign?

Because at least from what I am told Corbett Sr. has been to less games than I can count on one hand since he left. Correctly me if I am wrong but when they dedicated the floor to him and Irvin that was the first time he had been there for a game in a whole lot of years ?

I speaking in regards to Corbett Jr. As bad as we need a big man assistant coach. Hell, we need some assistant coaches period! Would be nice if he was asked to come on the payroll. I know one thang, homeboy can coach them Whirles. And he's got the fear and respect from those kids too.

Nothing that I have gathered about Jerry Eaves over the past few years leads me to believe he would welcome such an addition to his staff.

Thrilla, just like the Thompson family, When I think of the Corbett family I say, "Like father, Like Son". I hope a miracle will occur.

I should probably point out a couple of things. #1, I wasn't necessarily singling WB out when I said "dummy". That was moreso referencing the way we do things. If the admin were attentive to what was really going on, then they would have seen the writing on the wall years ago. I know I did. . Let's face it, the guy has gotten 2-3 extensions and and he hasn't even come remotely close to winning ANYTHING!! And when I say fan base, I'm not talking about you and a couple of people on the private forum. I'm talking about people across the nation that mail in checks. They always want to see the football program do well. They can care less about bball. And that is why admin doesn't have to commit to winning. Eaves can do what he's doing for the next 10 years and keep getting extensions. If the football coach doesn't win, he's outta here. Simply put, the guy is not doing a good job........and it's OK. When Smalls wasn't...........adios.

I think a lot of you are in the dark about the guarantee money, big time. You guys are ridiculing the only revenue the school can count on. You guys make it sound simple that any coach can do it.
In 2006-2007 and 2007-2008 which I followed no HBCU coach did it better. There were two who got more guaranteed money but they played 2 and 3 more guaranteed games respectively. They also get a percentage of the money plus have way larger salaries.
WSSU under former Hampton's coach, Collins, played a ton of guranteed games in WSSU's 1st Div I year and still didn't make as much as A&T did that year.
There was a challenged to some very vocal alumni for a hefty financial step-up to the athlete department. It went no where.
If Coach Eaves doesn't win in the coming years he will be gone. Hopefully, the time will not go to waste for the administration and for those very vocal alumni who want a new coach. Raise the money for the basketball program to attract a very good candidate that has a good track record.
Football coaches get jettison because they carry the largest budget and football tickets and alumni giving can go hand-in-hand with wins and losses on the field. Football losses equal to deep in-the-red deficients in the university's budget.
