Right. Aside from a few "wishing upon a star" posts, I can't recall anyone really pushing an elite OC hire. Basically, we all just want someone who has called plays in college. I guess in a way that seems sexy compared to our previous 2 hires.

I had not thought of it that way. To some, asking for competence is probably just like wishing for a miracle, or something "sexy".

we were beat by refs at A&M.
THE defining play in the 2nd half was the 4th and 12 that A&M converted on a QB run. The refs had nothing to do with that. All we had to do was stop them on 4th and 12 and we likely win the game.

The refs also had nothing to do with our bad play calling. We had a 3rd and 2 at the A&M 31 and couldn't pick up 2 yards in 2 plays. If we convert and get at least a FG, we likely win.

In some ways I agree with Beamer that we are close. With our defense, we just need a middle of the road offense we probably win 8-9 games.

It should NOT be hard to do.

However, I don't agree with Beamer that we are close b/c I don't think he's going to be able to resist that urge to focus on guys with NFL experience.

The "sexy hire" is an old whine with little basis in reality. The "just someone who has run a competent offense" and "we should get a guy from a smaller school that is up and coming" comments have been repeated often enough that you have to be intentionally ignoring them to complain about people wanting a sexy hire.

Given the source, that is exactly what is happening. Whining and seeking attention is all that coment looks like to me.
Just pushing back on the narrative.

Right? Unlike as alleged above, we don't want a sexy hire. We know we can't get a sexy hire. What we want, and what is attainable, is someone who has demonstrated competence as an OC at the collegiate level.

Call me crazy, but I don't think that's a terribly big ask.
Baloney. A bit naive in the poster’s presentation, but he probably understands what he was hearing. Furrey actually checks the boxes the board squad usually cites as their wish list. But you guys won’t be happy with anyone short of Bobby Petrino himself, and you know it.

Maybe let some other dialogue and posts play out a little before jumping in to interject like someone’s trying to intrude in the board sandbox. 17k posts, man.

Amazing how it can be repeated over and over, and yet the little puppy here still needs to chime in that we're not really saying what we're actually saying.

For example.

We can literally say the exact opposite, and he'll still come in with these little pathetic complaints.

I dont know what happened that got his feelings so butthurt, and I don't really care. This has just gone from laughable into the pathetic range. I think losing his little crush Coopie broke his brain.

Just dawned on me too. I guess his man crush on you is over.

You were his Coopie replacement for a little while. You were so "logical" and "sincere". And now he's back to thinking you really mean the opposite of what you post.

Hard to keep up with the mood swings and meltdowns. :)

He posts a lot but complains if someone else posts more. 🙂

He does whine and complain a LOT.

If he cant handle other people posting their opinions, maybe this site isn't for him.

He should just open a word document and type his teenage girlish meltdowns into the file. Then, he wouldnt need to worry about those pesky "mean posters" replying to him.

He sounds like he's miserable. I have a blast on here. 🙂

Agreed. He was never a really an enjoyable poster before he lost his man crush, but he's been downright miserable since then.

Maybe he needs to find a replacement? 18 didn't work out. Neither did that "brains" poster who lasted like 3 posts.

Do you want to volunteer? Would you want a puppy following you around the board?

Maybe Vienna is a candidate? 🙂
