This thread is one of the best works of fiction I have read in a very long time! Constant drama, suspense, twists and turns, extreme giddiness, extreme sadness, pretty much everything you are looking for in a fiction piece!scumdevils86 wrote:Lmao all the hand wringing. Classic all time thread.

Yeah, dude, you single-handedly saved Arizona basketball and that all makes up for basically being a show runner in this latest sh*tshow. Should we applaud or boo and hiss now?
Sorry, but for all the justified railing against the "cult of personality" and how it has absolutely turned functional American democratic politics to sh*t, this giant eye-roll of a coaching search has taught me one thing: the cult is getting just as bad in sports as well.
Instead, the fallout on Twitter is nothing but doubling down on denial and taking gigantic amounts of credit for things you really weren't that responsible for.
Own your mistakes. That's the bottom line. In ANY profession.

And I have posted in this thread that I did NOT want to see Navy's coach here. I want to see a head coach who will actually COACH, though.SCCats wrote:You understand the coordinators COACH, right?BBQ wildcat wrote:Just stop with this tired old CEO bullshit. Tomey would be a poor man's Herm Edwards. Just hire a coach who will COACHSCCats wrote:Shit since Tomey is so damn involved anyways, hire him at $30k a month to CEO this thing and gladhandle boosters. Spend the money you're saving on HC to bring in two elite coordinators at $1.5M each with each one of those coordinators and their position coaches being responsible for recruiting their side of the ball.
And he would be a poor mans Herm, but he'd be paid that way too so we can get ELITE COACHES at the coordinator spots.
If we do it YOUR WAY, we end up with Navy's coach (until he turns us down) and then end up with Rocky Long. Fuck. that. route.
Oh come on. I don't think Heeke is an idiot by any standards but I don't think he's smart enough to pull off that ploy either. I think the entire process of firing to coach search was bush league.chiefzona wrote:YesMerkin wrote:These "leaks" were probably well planned to get donors to pony up to fund Sumlin's assistants.

After all the twists and turns the past week, I’m fucking ecstatic.
Get off it guys. He's joking because some poster no one has ever heard of started a thread last night saying it was Scheer's fault that Ken N was turning us down.Lando05 wrote:Exactly take ownership in any Professioncatgrad97 wrote:And from the department of deflection, Scheer style:

I hadn't read the other thread yet, lost my phone last night and just got caught up. I was wrong. I'll eat crow on my words on this.UofAlum05 wrote:Get off it guys.

He probably used this to negotiate a nice raise and contract extension with Navy.3rdand25 wrote:This is all good news. Best wishes to Ken N, and welcome to the new Coach.
A well executed search, with a great outcome, no?
Thanks Heeke!
PS if I was bb coach I would be nervous
I received the call to "just breathe, you're going to be happy" shortly after the Ken N. offer news broke. Because of that, I don't think it was a physical offer.Bangkok Wildcat wrote:Sorry if this has been answered already but did we actually offer Ken N? Or was that a smokescreen?

Thanks!
Thanks btfd16. Man, I wish I had known this....was seriously depressed the last few days....always thought Sumlin was too good to be true but damn if the AD, Prez, and Boosters didn’t step up,and knock it out of the park with this hire....wow, just wow!!!!!!btfd16 wrote:I received the call to "just breathe, you're going to be happy" shortly after the Ken N. offer news broke.

I knew this and it still didn't have me freaking out any less! Hahaha there's always the possibility the source is wrong. I trusted this particular source because he is close friends with Sumlin's agent.Bangkok Wildcat wrote:Thanks btfd16.

I whole heartedly believe the media got played. Especially after having a deeper conversation with people close to the process. It was never anyone but Sumlin. Every other name was to get booster support.Postmaster wrote:Lev just said he was "stunned" that sumlin was hired.
On 1490.
He was sure Ken was getting job
Not knocking Lev, just find it interesting
I agree. Furthermore, I believe Sumlin was contacted and expressed interest long before RR was fired. The whole episode was by design and was well executed.btfd16 wrote:I whole heartedly believe the media got played. Especially after having a deeper conversation with people close to the process.

Are you kidding, I never post on those boards. Haven't since the changeover from TOS. They're worthless.Chicat wrote:Did you also post this on the 24/7 message boards where he would see this?catgrad97 wrote:And from the department of deflection, Scheer style:
