Holy crap. You were right. I should have picked A and M and maybe saved his job given how ****ty I am at picking

Is there a reason they got rid of him now instead of just announcing that his contract won't be renewed?

If you know he's out why wait? Go ahead and start the search and get a coach in here. The December signing period fastly approaching.

His departure was decently shocking and caused a ripple effect of sorts.

I'm unsure our staff knows what to expect w/ a new regime, interim, installed earlier. This is our HC'ing game vs AlaSU so many eyes will be on campus to witness whatever occurs.

Skipped out on multiple press appearances and press conferences during the week leading up to the Classic. Must have already been in the works or he just didn't give a 💩

He knew that his contract wasn't about to be renewed and that he was out in a month. So he stopped caring and at that point it's best to just cut ties and not let it drag on.

That SWAC EAST is tough. Who's coming to coach

Since your AD likes firing guys whose contact is up, could you send him to Jacksonville for a day?

John Grass has worn out his welcome over there in Calhoun County?

I see people selling their club tickets on Facebook groups now. Even the old farts who only go for the buffet have given up hope.

Didn't ASU fire a decent coach one year because of politics midseason?

We fired Brian Jenkins mid-season when Hill-Eley took over as the interim. Jenkins came from Bethune-cookman with an amazing record but was hovering around. 500 when he was let go.

Swing for the fences and go after some high profile HBCU coaches. 😯

The days of trying to win the press conference is over for us. We've done this the last 20 years and have exactly ONE conference title to show for it. This hire will be about the guy who's right for Bama State!

I've heard rumblings of a few but that's not the direction we're going in.
