Thanks for the career advice chief. My career is and has been rolling just fine for 30 years.
What did Trey say before Hodgson said it?
No need to call me chief. We are having a discussion and I said nothing disrespectful to you.
I’d encourage that for people jumping to disqualify the guy for the job. Obviously, you won’t hear what was said, but it was definitely not just said out of the blue like some are making it seem.
Sure but as a Head coach, you are held to a higher standard than a student athlete is. And there are some things that are said that are below the belt. BH went there.
Nothing in Hop's record in his last five years at Washington indicates he would be an upgrade. Hop's teams happened to lose to California Baptist, Northern Illinois, Winthrop, Utah Valley, UC Riverside, and Montana as well. Red might have even picked off a few of those.
Sure, it was out of line. I agree. But to say he shouldn’t get the job because of it is ludicrous.
Did I say he shouldn't get the job? He might be my first choice (although I like Tony Skinn more) if he can get a lot of money out of the Lalli's. Having said that, it was a dirtbag thing to say and says more to me about his lack of character than any work he does with children in foster care or the fact that he was fortunate to have smart kids on his first team at USF. Or at least better students than previous coaches at USF had. To be honest, I didn't like Oats at Buffalo or Alabama either. You can be a dirtbag and be a real good coach. I would rather have someone be a good man and a good coach.
Just tweaking your comment. “Some” Head Coached are held to a higher standard.
I just said in another post what I think of Nate as a person.
I never said you did. Others here have.
Only thing he regrets is going to Hawaii
Those are my four as well. I’m starting to think Hodgson might be the guy as well.
Well, so much for having an intelligent conversation with you. Learn the room. Now, yeah, I guess I am morally superior. I would never say to a young adult that their father was going to get fired from his job. LOL That isn't a high bar. And I guess that makes you morally superior because you would never judge someone on their beliefs on one subject or on one thing they said.
I don't think so. I think any decent hire (i.e. someone with significant head coaching success) will have the fans at Hello. The fanbase will be invigorated with a proven choice.
Well, taking that woman anyway.
I learned the room. Go ahead and tell me how long you’ve been here and how well respected you are. Quite frankly, I really do not care.
LOL By the way, two things you won't ever be here. You won't be here long and you will never be respected.
I don't disagree with anything thing you said especially the last part in relation to the real world however, if your the Director of the Athletic Dept and your hands get soo tied that you can't do an honest search and are forced to hire someone who's part of a declining program are you then really the Director of that department? It then seems like its just in title only.
Did he say he regretted his comments? I hear what you are saying but I am surprised that some people don't understand that leaders should be held to a higher standard, especially ones who influence younger people and would be the face of a program. Perhaps it shouldn't preclude him from the job but if I was the AD I would want to be assured that he doesn't have a problem. Also the above doesn't excuse Trey either. People need to be responsible for what they say. What and how you say things matters in my opinion.
It’s not one of my goals in life to be message board famous, so that’s alright.
