The House of Blue

Hoptown,

The fact that they committed Burton-Woodson and others. There recruiting was not atrocious, they had to endure the onlslaught of sanctions and in fact they had to take more hits because they followed Mumme. Tamme was the only one that Brooks brought in, truth be told is they weren't gonna offer but they had a decommit and had open scholly. Sure Brooks and staff had to re recruit them but Morriss first recruited.

Brooks did terrible that first year, that was an underachieving team. Not going to harp on missed opportunities and squandered chances with Rich Brooks tenure.

I still say MB did not want Guy, MB did not think Guy would leave. The problem is that he was caught with one man and that was Brooks, you must admit that many of his hire's have been atrocious and he was 1 game away from going down with Brooks. That was a 7 win team the year before Brooks

I don't believe the Parcells thing, geez, only one stated this was MB, never remember Rich Rodriquez, don't believe this for one moment and in fact never heard this.

David Cutcliffe chose elsewhere, others wanted no part of it, MB was unprepared having had that much time to find coach, He settled on Brooks because he was in contact with on daily basis on search. He was caught flat footed and had to settle. It was lucky for him that things turned around or he would have been gone as well
IMO

This thread is stupid.

Are you kidding? You say he had the "GUTS" to get rid of Tubby, he didnt get rid of Tubby Tubby was threw at Ky. Ole Mitch isnt a great AD or even an average AD he is as poor of AD that we have ever had and if someone thinks he is the best AD that UK has had in 50 years then that person is living in a fantasy world. So all of you Ole Mitch apologists go ahead and say outrageous things about me and this other persons post but you will be just regretting it in 2 or 3 years if he doesnt hire a good football coach that can change the attitude and wins totals of the football program.

I wouldnt expect a FSU fan to know who C.M. Newton is but for anyone to suggest that Ole Mitch is even in the same universe as Newton was is delusional.

This is the second big-time, costly mistake hire under "Buyout Barnhart's" watch.

It is easy to recklessly spend someone else's money.

Accountability?

His disparaging remarks on the radio yesterday ticked off a lot of the UK faithful for good. It's easy to see why he's had such a difficult time in the fundraising department.

Thanks Kevin for editting that 1 remark I have a mentally challenged niece and was ready to put some quite inappropriate things on here but didnt. Thanks again.

Yes, I have friends and family etc. with mental issues too. If that word offends you so easily it's an issue with YOU, not the person saying it. . . The context in which I used it has absolutely nothing to do with mentally challenge people.

See post above. That word isn't acceptable here.

The issue isnt with me but it is over.

WELL IT COST MONEY TO HIRE COACHES AND NO COACH WILL SIGN AN AGREEMENT THAT IS NOT SOLID TO THE END. YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THAT SIDE OF THE BUISNESS I GUESS. HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO DO THERE CONTRACT LOL.

That's the new way that big-time college athletics works and the way that head coaches who under-perform are handled now ... just the way it is.
