It's Time For A Change!!

[DECKS]

Let me be the first to say that if this coaching staff is back next season I will not renew my season tickets (6)!

[Brandmasta]

Has armed security been put on alert? Will Fobbs be locked out of his office on monday and forcibly removed from campus? Will Fobbs' computer and recruiting files be confiscated?

[Trueaggie]

I'm going to respond with Fobbs should not be fired; and there are several reasons. Starting with the following:
1. Who hired Fobbs and signed him to such a high paying contract?
2. If Fobbs leaves who chooses the next coach and negotiates there contract? (Same person)
3. If Fobbs is fired HS coaches begin to tell kids that A&T is not stable within it's coaching staff; this will then make it even more difficult to recruit.
4. Fobbs' recruits really have not been able to make an impact yet; they will hopefully make a impact next year.
I am the first to agree that Fobbs can not be a Offensive Coordinator and Head Coach at the same time; he needs an OC. It also appears he will not be able to do the HC job; however A&T needs someone (New AD) to evaluate the athletic program and make recommended changes. The current AD is not the one that should be doing this; given all the bad decisions that have already been made. With that being said we need a new AD, get Fobbs an OC (he probably won't take a pay cut), and begin to build our reputation back. These things can not be done in one year, and I hope Battle and company is up for the task. The last Administration make some big mistakes, and disruption of the Athletic department is just one of them.
I've been reading posts for several months and have now decided to join in discussions.

I can give you 22 reasons why we need a change.

I agree. Dee is making a fool of herself and more importantly, Aggie Athletics. Yes, changes need to be made for football to be a winning program again, but firing Fobbs without changes to Administration will not solve problems. Just a temporary fix for a long term problem.

DT being replaced is the #1 change that needs to be make; after that one I sure all the others I would probably agree with. With that being said I'm moving on to what I've been waiting on BB.

At a bare minimum he needs to upgrade his coaching staff. He should hire the following- Coach Ferg Linwood Ferguson(DC), Coach Saunders- Mark Saunders (RB), go after Reggie White to coach DL and Cornell Maynor or Anthony Parke to coach QB's . Real Talk we do not have a connection the winning era of A&T Football the Coach Hayes era. Coach Rags never worked for Coach Hayes,

Some type of change needs to happen, because we do not know how to win from the Coaching Staff, Players and Adm. The only winners on the staff are Theron Thomas and Billy Edringston. Winning is an attitude and we do not have a winning attitude. All I can say take a look at St. Pauls College / St Aug/ Shaw University (CIAA Champs) by the way 2nd year head coach. Small schools with no stadiums and all three would beat A&T in football. No real budgets for Football. Winning is an attitude!!!

BY THE WAY, No Fact, but I bet you that we have over 30+ Engineers majors on our team. We need more PE / Social Work / Education majors LOL. The Football team should have the highest GPA of all sports at A&T.

Real Talk we need to go and sign the QB from West Charlotte and give him the starting job before he finish the playoffs. Hell, we to sign the Head Coach from WC and bring the QB, WR (9), LT, LG, RG, PR and his two starting corners.

The head coach wouldn't come. He doesn't have a high opinion of Fobbs.

Shoot, I didn't renew my Aggie Club membership this year. the fact that so many of us are nonstop Aggie fans is to our detriment because as long as we're still selling tickets and donating money these folks will continue to get the results we are getting with nobody having to answer to anything.

If enough people quit with the "give them time" crap and let the administration know that we won't accept these results, buyout money would magically appear where there was none before.

But hell, y'all like losing so keep on accepting it.

I am sure coach Bibbs , Eaves, Thompson and the others appreciate the statement you are making about football by not (via the Aggie club) supporting their programs.

[DOOMS]

I sure appreciate the fact that short-sighted individuals don't see that when you put pressure on like what I'm talking about, you only have to have enough people to threaten to do it for it to actually work and work swiftly. Then you flood the department with money when the changes are made.

Think.
