krill Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 I guess there was other stuff going on with Pat Hill with his attitude and a degenerate son causing problems. Quote Link to comment
GSG Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Sports by Brooks Twitter just mentioned that a former North Carolina player just tweeted that Southern Miss's Larry Fedora is expected to be named the new Tar Heels coach later today. Quote Link to comment
krill Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 ESPN is reporting that now too. Cynically thinking, that's good news for us. Quote Link to comment

Welcome to mediocrity among the mid-majors Fresno. He was the best you'll ever get. Everyone remembers the Bush Push and the Rose bowl, but Southern Cal should have lost to Fresno that year. The dogs had a 4th quarter lead, but racked up 5 turnovers and lost by 8. Quote Link to comment

strigori Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Everyone on Twitter is saying that June Jones to ASU is a "no go" Pulled the offer because it was taking too long. http://espn.go.com/d...ils-sources-say Taking too long? Huh? So now they have had two coaches accepted then rejected... Maybe the next person fired should be the AD. Good luck on finding a good coach to step into that dysfunctional mess.

Landomatic Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 One source said negative reaction from fans and boosters to the selection of Jones prompted the reversal. Who is ASU holding out for? I have a good friend who's an ASU booster and this is my take on all of it based on what he's told me... ASU backed out of the Sumlin deal when aTm got involved as they were not willing to get into a bidding war which is where I think it was headed very quickly. I think this looked worse for ASU than it actually was...they simply just bowed out of the auction which is respectable. If I extend someone an offer and they start playing the "well...aTm is coming at me pretty hard - might need you to come up with some more money" game then I'd tell them just to have fun with aTm too. That being said, it does sound like they have an "inmates running the asylum" problem when it comes to Jones. A couple of very vocal boosters (the vocal minority) were trying to push the Jones thing through so the AD went ahead with it feeling as though that's what the boosters wanted. Once the offer had been extended, the formerly quiet majority started becoming more vocal about their displeasure with the decision. So, literally before the details could be ironed out on the contract, enough boosters had pitched enough of a fit to overturn the decision created by those couple boosters trying to get it pushed through from the start. So the offer was pulled. Sounds like their AD needs to decide who's calling the shots around there. As far as who they are holding out for, I don't think that's the issue nor can anyone really agree on one name. I don't think the June Jones decision had anything to do with who else they knew they wanted, but more to do with who they knew they didn't want...June Jones. Quote Link to comment
