I really hope this Lane thing blows up in his face. Probably won't as Sumrall may end of being a great hire. He'd better hope so.
Loafers strikes again. Zimmerman gone.
- Thread starter Predestined
- Start date
This isn’t really on loafers.
The guy wanted the Florida job. Was loafers supposed to just say no?
I thank you not to tee tee on my loafers hate.
I was really 17ing pissed for a second. Then I realized Derek Zimmerman isn't even a coach for us right now.
I guess I'm still annoyed.
Nothing is happening to Stricklin. He is extended to 2030 and then gets a Cush Emeritus gig.
Have there ever been two bigger loser *** frauds than Strick and Cohen?
Hate to say this but steering Florida away from Kiffin may have been the best thing Stricklin has ever done for them .
I need one of them emuritas things
Intellectually lazy to say the least. Both have made a living plundering MSU Coaching and administration at their new gigs. 17 'em.
Mississippi State is like the farm team for the rest of the SEC. It's depressing. We've got three former athletic directors at different SEC schools, and if we have any coaches who are good enough, those AD's will just hire them at their current school.
I hope someone takes a **** on his loafers.
And 17 Zimmerman too.
"I think if I can recruit to Starkville, I can recruit to Gainesville," Zimmerman said.

Larry Templeton was an exemplary AD.....in the 1980s and 1990s. Before him, the Athletic Department was bleeding money and had no stability. After Carl Maddox retired, they hired Alabama's Assistant AD who promptly banned cowbells and game-day ticket sales. He was followed by Charlie Carr who moved on after 2 years.
In the 1990s we went to three College World Series, a Final Four, the SEC Championship game, and finally developed a decent Ladies Basketball program.
Templeton stopped the financial bleeding and finally put the athletic department in the black. Problem was that he stayed too long and Athletics moved on to marketing geniuses who weren't afraid to invest money in sports.

Thanks Mrs. Templeton for the feedback.
That idiot would pace the baseline and scowl at the Hump because students had the audacity to yell “sucks” and ruffle newspapers during opposing player intros. 17 that guy.
Not to mention getting mad at students throwing tennis balls at Florida Center Dwayne Schintzus after he was accused of raping a UF tennis player.
Not that I have personal knowledge of such.
Let’s take a step back there.
He gets credit for Fanning and Sherrill, no doubt but he did hang on to Sherrill too long.
For basketball, he promoted an assistant.
Baseball was in crock pot mode. The only thing he could have done to screw it up was tear down Dudy Noble or let Polk go and Polk wasn’t going anywhere outside of LSU and Skip had that on lockdown.
Yeah he got us in the black at the expense of fan experience. And that’s a little easier to do when the only way to watch a game was in person outside of half the football games and few basketball games.
...and say "we hired him because we wanted someone who could win an ncaa game hosted here"
Has Byrne done it at Arizona or Bama? I can’t recall him poaching from us directly.
This is the type of Wikipedia entry that gets you banned from contributing.
Unpopular opinion: aside from being a cool guy, and probably a good recruiter, Zimmerman had yet to show he was a good field coach. If Ally Perry had not been on the team this year, there surely would have been four or five more losses.
Byrne isn’t as lazy as the other two.
Is this you Larry? You told Stanbury just make the NIT at least once every 3 years and you'll be fine. You did balance the budget which was good but the "poor Ole Mississippi State" mentality started with you. You treated the rich boosters like gold but you treated the rest of us and students like crap. I celebrated when you were asked to leave.
