I don't have a problem, we're putting points on the board. Now we have stop other teams from scoring.

We're averaging 16.3 points per game which a'int hardly enough to win a game.

Was there a press conference about the Morgan game? If so, did anybody ask about the last 5 minutes of the game and the decisions that were made? If so, what did they say about those decisions?

I know this is getting off track from what is being discussed, but in the article he mention that the 96 yard pass play was the longest play from scrimmage in A&T's history which is incorrect. The longest play was a run by James White at BCC where he ran 99 yards from the 1 yard line for a TD. I forgot what year this was.

According to the media guide, the run you are referring to was in 1991 and it was 89 yards.

That is backwards as hell......... We make big plays but don't win.... Who wants to hear that!!!!!

I do. I'm glad that Rob Daniels and the N&R are finding ways to find positive stories in a winless season. He could be doing a lot worse.

[Gator]

Well when we decided to hold people to two touchdowns or less, we might win!

Fobbs was hired as OC&HC possibly because we didn't have money to hire an OC and we still don't have enough money to hire one. Also, Fobbs didn't impress me with his plays last year. It's about the lack of money for the program , ask the AD or Wheller they will tell why we can't hire a fulltime OC. Money, Money, Money, Money !!!!!!!!!

[dj98]

(we didn't have money to hire an OC and we still don't have enough money to hire one.)

I thank that Fobbs can give up 65k of 165,000..... He'll still be making 100,000 dollars, Dam*
we could find a OC for 50k.... Put the other 15K BACK into the athetic fund, D MINUS got to put a choke hold on his salary....

Exactly, we could have gotten a head coach for 100K and an OC for 60K easily.

Would they have come with some credentials? Personally, I still think we'd be in this position regardless.

[DOOMS]

Not if the new coach won some games. But then you thought "credentials" was having Doug Williams sign off on a hire. Please.

Hayes had plenty of credentials. He made 100 flat. If the two-time defending national championship head coach/offensive coordinator who also was an offensive coordinator at Nebraska and head coach at North Texas and Texas Tech is making 135 I'm pretty sure we could've found somebody with "credentials" to come to lil' ol Ayantee.

The fact of the matter is you have to look and you have to know how to pick somebody.

I wonder how many of you are still thinking I was tripping because I pitched a fit over how secretive the hiring process was. One person should never hold all the cards when making a hire. A committee would have at least understood that if we must hire Fobbs it shouldn't be at both hc and oc and that he would need seasoned assistants.

I don't think any coach with head coaching experience would have us o-fer. He would've known a lot about what Fobbs is just learning. That's not to say Fobbs won't learn it (he'll have to, he ain't going nowhere). That is to say the following:

We have proven that you don't always get what you pay for, but you do always pay for what you get.

Exactly. That's all we have to do.

[DOOMS]

Hey, why stop there?

If we held people to zero points a game we'd be undefeated!

Folks, we don't have a defensive line that's going to allow us to hold people to two touchdowns or less. Coach Frenchers has worked miracles with what we do have.

On offense I feel we have enough to score some points if the play-calling and execution was a little crisper.

We're almost there. It's like climbing to the top of a really big hill. Once we crest it will be a lot easier. We just could've crested a while ago had we made more intelligent decisions.

[Gator]

Dooms,


It's not so simple as for us looking. There has to be interest amongst the better ranks. As for our opinions about Fobbs, I still think the jury is out deliberating. But, we all have different courtrooms in our own head.

Remember, there is no one right way to go about turning a football program around. A lot of it is based on LUCK! We haven't seen it yet! I think Todd did her best with what she had.

[DOOMS]

Naw, it is as simple as us looking. We didn't bother to look. Think about it; Todd didn't even apply for the A.D. job. She had no interest. Renick wanted her and he went and got her. So if anybody should know you don't have to necessarily have someone looking in order to get them it would be her.

Again, what constitutes "better ranks" in your mind and in most minds are quite different things.

I think most people think Fobbs hasn't one a game in almost two seasons as head coach. I think we're all in agreement as far as that's concerned.

Some people think he won't win any next year either. I, for one, don't share that view.

There is no one right way to go about turning a football program around. But there are plenty of wrong ones. That is not to say we're witnessing a wrong one here. We are not. What we are witnessing is a painfully and unnecessarily slow way of turning the program around.

I agree that luck is involved. But so is experience and ability. Are you going to tell me we haven't seen that yet either?

I think Todd did the best she knew how, and we are all dealing with the results. I'm glad you're happy with them.
