Glad you have so much confidence in Tanner and the BOT, considering their last hiring decision, not to mention that insane buyout. I don’t share your enthusiasm for the knowledge and wisdom displayed by either Ray or the BOT in the search that brought us five years of Muschamp. Unmitigated disaster (completely predictable) is the kindest description I can come up with. It seems to me that given where our program is (I’ve seen high school teams and NAIA teams play better defense than we showed against Kentucky Saturday night; we have players that can’t even execute basic fundamentals they should have learned in high school. We look like a team that just stepped up from FCS to FBS. We’ve got supposed 4* and 5* talent that seems to have regressed since high school), it would have made common sense to hire a coach who had at least proved (by doing it) that he could build/rebuild a program from the ground up. Truth is, we have zero idea of whether Shane can do that, because he’s never done that before. We don’t know if he can bring in a competent staff; he’s never done that before either. By the way, being on the BOT (especially ours) or being an AD or the university president for that matter, does not mean that one has any magical knowledge about hiring a coach; if anything, the past track record here says otherwise. We hired Muschamp when no other school wanted him as a head coach, and now it looks to a lot of people that the same AD and BOT hired another coach no other school wanted as a head coach. And here you are chiding others for being skeptical? Good Lord man, what would you expect? You trust the same people who hired Muschamp to do essentially the same thing, and have it turn out differently? I don’t, and I don’t mind saying I don’t. I really hope I’m wrong, but the definition of stupidity is doing the same thing the same way and expecting a different result, and that is exactly what this feels like until proven otherwise. P.S. ALL his former players love Muschamp too, and it’s rare any coach will say anything bad about a fellow coach (at least publicly); how did that work out with Muschamp?
