Bye Ghost

But, but.....he was just beginning to convince me......

[Fishclamps]

Immediately goes back to his crusade against "local media"

Bold strategy Cotton

[Chicat]

I know I’m just feeding into his martyr complex but fuck that guy.

[Fishclamps]

Is it permanent this time?

[UAdevil]

Wait for the next sock.

[Merkin]

Don't think I have ever seen negative rep before on any board.

Have you looked at Machina's lately?

There will be another sock but when we figure it out it will be an immediate ban.

[wyo-cat]

Chef can’t help himself.

He’ll go off on someone and it will be obvious that it’s him.

[cerec_cat]

I never really read his posts. What does he do, complain about players, coaches, fans, all of the above? I remember triangle an two from a long time ago.

[TheCatInTheHat]

Either a false flag obsessed rival, or a wannabe know-it-all who's the only one who can see the rampant incompetence everywhere. Disappears for all good news, and goes off about the impending apocalypse for any temporary bad news.

There is nothing wrong with putting butts in the stands. Dropping footballs from helicopters, water guns, turnover sword, were all fine because it got folks engaged and the program publicity. Certainly the players appeared to like it, the former players were recognized and became more involved with the program there is no downside there. As far as people on this site welcoming him, as you imply, as a savior is not support by any fact and is disputed by simply pulling up the thread.

I'm not sure if you are simply trying to get recognized as a soothsayer that saw what everyone else missed if so you got it. Is that the point? I told you so.

He didn’t put butts in the stands. He lost to NAU. It engaged nothing. Soothsayer? I’m just a new poster. Robbins made a bad hire, effed the school financially and then fired Bozo Heeke for it. The media told us how awesome Robbins, Heeke, and Jedd were. If yall were the soothsayers, why are you posting links from media guys who were wrong? Isn’t that trolling? It’s super weird.

He engaged no former alums? He did not increase interest in Arizona? He did not win the second highest single season games at Ariz? I will agree that many folks ignored the fact that he was a nomad and out for himself but looking at his resume should have told you that. I like his offense but what really made the difference in a lot of those games was a better defense. Not sure why your so angry all the time but I wish you peace.

You’re talking to a literal ghost (Chief was banned again for being a troll).

But I’m sure the sock he creates in August will bump this thread randomly to respond and expose himself.

He was a strange dude. He said folks were drinking kool aid from local reporters and that is what formed folks opinion. I don't live in Arizona and wouldn't know a local reporter if he/she bit me in the ass. So Chief/Ghost is gone permanently or just a couple of weeks? Don't care just curious.

Permanently. He’s been banned now under two accounts.

We gave him the benefit of the doubt that maybe he was interested in having actual discussions but his aim is to spam his obsessive hatred of Scheer, Luke, and others who cover Arizona.

[Carcassdragger]

I enjoy other points of view and am uncomfortable with banning people who's views may not jibe.

The thing that bothered me about Chief is how, several years ago, he would often try to pump himself up by dropping info and stating it was factual. The supposed factual statements would repeatedly be proven as just bullshit.

Anyway, I think the guy is a dick but I honestly don't like seeing him banned.

There have been others who just cannot disagree civilly and may warrant banning more than him.

[Fishclamps]

He literally brings nothing to the conversation

[Carcassdragger]

Neither do I, really.

But do you hammer on about the same thing in every post you make?

[Chicat]

I think the guy is a dick but I honestly don't like seeing him banned.

When an online community’s administration has received multiple complaints about a poster’s behavior, and the moderators of that online community have determined that the behavior disrupts that community and has warned that poster multiple times that continuing that behavior will result in punitive action, and yet that poster continues their behavior until ultimately they are banned…

And then that same person comes back under a different screen name (their THIRD) and continues that same behavior, garnering more complaints from the community and warranting further warnings from the moderators, leading to a week-long suspension but then their first two posts after their reinstatement features the exact same behavior that had multiple highly active members of the community complaining YEARS AGO…

What in the fuck do you want us to do?

Ignore multiple complaints from multiple highly respected and active members of this community who have had to put up with this jerkoff going back literally YEARS just because you’re uncomfortable with banning spammers? Because that’s exactly what he is. A spammer. Chief is selling hatred of those that cover UA sports just like the fifteen Russian bots who try to register here daily are trying to sell you Viagra and Dogecoin. Should we also let those bots post here so you’re not uncomfortable with banning posters?

[UAEebs86]

He also accused me of sharing premium info from Scheer's site. I literally have the same user name at both places. If I was doing that Scheer would cancel my account in a heartbeat.

OK. Point taken. Sorry.

[Chicat]

Sorry, it’s a personally frustrating situation for me because I seriously dislike the guy. So every decision as far as giving warnings and temp bans and so forth comes with a hesitation that I’m letting my personal feelings influence decisions that others are literally begging for. Trust me when I say that it took MANY posters asking to ban Chief before the decision was made. But if anyone had asked me, I would have yeeted him in mid-April when he outed himself as Chief since he had already been banned once before.

The NAU loss while traumatic cannot be charged to Fisch in more than a superficial way. He did not inherit a program that could be called adequate in any category. NAU, while not a power that UA should lose to, is a capable program, UA was not.

Jed's first season had a lot of players that were not really D1 quality, not well developed by the previous regime, and were totally demoralized by the attitude of the previous regime. That's a whole lot of rebuilding to do both physically and psychologically and steady improvement was made during the season. Steady improvement continued each and every year as the personnel improved and the development programs took hold.

Say what you want about Fisch's cut and run stunt (and I condemn it too), but he DID rebuild the UA football program much faster than anyone thought possible. And he left behind a solid platform for continuing to build.

My expectations allow for a bit of a step back this year just because of the learning curve of a new regime and the challenges of late entry into building relationships in the portal though it seems he did a pretty good job in the circumstances. It would be nice if BB could just pick up where JF left off but that is unlikely to happen.

It then remains to be seen whether BB can take the next step, successfully negotiate the new recruiting, transfer, NIL environment in the future. I'm starting to wonder if there is any point to recruiting high schoolers anymore. They'll play for you for a year or two, then jump to somewhere else. Does that mean that some schools and coaches will get a reputation for training/development of players for the "big schools" and nothing more?

[cerec_cat]

If you warn someone and they keep on doing it, Screw um

[TheCatInTheHat]

A tip o' the cap to the mods on this one in particular, both for the technical expertise and the judgment.

[Merkin]

The worst part is that he could have had made a lot of meaningful posts. He does have some background in fitness, although I don't recall what it was.

Turning into a mean spirited troll just adds nothing to this site. Good riddance. Go hang out with Triangle And Too.
