I'm saying they ARE wrong,…

I'm saying they ARE wrong, or are being dishonest for tactical, competitive reasons.

Does everyone realize that…

Does everyone realize that Dan Snyder isn't running the Commanders anymore? I think the arrow is pointing up on the franchise. Also I'm not worried where JJ lands (I'd prefer not the Pats because that franchise is clearly on the downswing). I think he is the best QB prospect based on all factors: arm, mobility, accuracy, ability to read defenses, calm under pressure, and work ethic, and he doesn't have to be dropped into a perfect situation to succeed.

Don't know that he could do…

Don't know that he could do that and keep his gig at BTN as an analyst (which he is very good at, and likely decently paid).

Judd was a much better coach…

Judd was a much better coach, he just couldn't recruit. Had a pretty good follow-up to Magic teams with Scott Skiles.

After having some…

After having some reservations before he was chosen, I am 100 percent on board and excited, I just can't help myself!

No doubt.

That is pretty positive on balance. But, it's not considered cool to suggest this.

Weren't they preseason Top 10 or near it this year? I'm asking, not sure, but I definitely wasn't excited by anything I saw yesterday. It looked like they lost to a better coached team.

I brought him up a couple of days ago to crickets.  I am impressed with him.

Not any more. Top 12 or higher.

The Commanders are in a better position roster-wise than the Patriots.

Weren't they the 3 seed in the BTT? Is that middle of the pack?

I'm not sure at all…

I'm not sure at all. Northwestern looked like a Beilein team- Value the ball, team play and resilient.

But there aren't many little-er than the angry midget.

No thanks.

No thanks on Calipari

I agree, I thought it was a…

I agree, I thought it was a good hire, and it was. Not enforcing a stated zero tolerance policy though is tough to square.

Assuming you are including the blog leadership in this group.

This- didn't the Warde…

This- didn't the Warde apologists listen to the podcast? The fact that prospective coaches were turned off from coming here because of Warde is a red flag.

He is certainly an…

He is certainly an aspirational choice. I do agree that Medved sounds like a great choice from the more possible options.

Thanks for representing!

Thanks for representing!

I haven't seen every game…

I haven't seen every game but of the many I have this is the best we have played. Need to stay focused in the 3rd.

I'm sold-now make it happen.

I'm sold-now make it happen.

That would clearly be the grand slam home run hire, seems unrealistic but I'm not objecting to making the effort.

Well, it doesn't sound so…

Well, it doesn't sound so good when you put it that way.

I can't imagine that he wasn…

I can't imagine that he wasn't, but he chose the $3 million which is absolutely his right.

That is certainly possible.

That is certainly possible.

I stand corrected- 51.

I like that choice.

I like that choice.

I didn't say I was…

I didn't say I was questioning it, I just said it was not unreasonable to think that who really forced the issue was debatable.

He just said it was…

He just said it was questionable, and I think that's fair. The sentiment and pressure to make a change had to be overwhelming.

True- maybe he has.

True- maybe he has.

The University had to do…

The University had to do something to give fans and future recruits at least a ray of hope going forward.

 For a successor- How about…

 For a successor- How about Mark Byington, present head coach at James Madison, his career has a nice progression curve to it. I know that pick wouldn't  be sexy enough for some, But a hardworking under the radar coach might be appealing.

According to him , it's…

According to him , it's because he was from Chicago.

I would not assume that…

I would not assume that there would be a great demand in the NBA for him at this point, he 's in his mid 50s, has never been a HC there and his coaching acumen has taken a hit since he left the league.

I'm really not sure how hard…

I'm really not sure how hard it was- the sentiment was overwhelming that he had to go, and I don't know how they were going to sell any tickets if he had come back.

Well there is the Ohio State…

Well there is the Ohio State example, though I don't think that would have worked out the same way for us. I'm fine with how it went but don't think anyone was crazy for wanting it done sooner. I just wanted it done by Monday and that has happened.

Do you know what a spartan…

Do you know what a spartan is, and what a spittoon is? Combine the two.

He theatened to kill Turgeon…

He theatened to kill Turgeon (then Maryland coach), I don't think that is typical behavior, plus the Wisconsin and Sanderson incidents, plus the at least two times that players had to restrain him from going after referees.

That was my thinking as well.

That was my thinking as well.

Not just last but by 4 games!  In a down year for the conference.

By Monday would be nice (and appropriate).

But it is consistent with believing that he won’t walk away from $3 million for the good of his alma mater. 

Pretty much. When he didn't…

Pretty much. When he didn't attend the Press conference and wasn't out recruiting, I thought those were clear signs that he was not staying. I will miss him and think he did a great job even though some apparently think it is a job that anyone can do.
