The DP apologists and hand wringers here have to be some kind of paid for bot service. You all are acting like the dude is in year 3. He is in year 8! No way you can argue this is a program on th

CDC asked Pierce to turn in paperwork for mutual separation the week of the 13th. Obviously that didnt happen and now CDC let him go. They were using the incident with Hurley to help force the resigna

Doesn't the job posting have to be listed for at least a week at the university? Maybe thats why they announced it today.

If I remember correctly, Sark was announced the same day Herman was fired

And it wasn't the first time. Hurley's dad caused issues last year too. A lot of people were surprised he even returned.

Yes, if you're hiring faculty/staff.  Policy gets waived for high-profile hires.  We once fired and hired a new football coach at TxSt during the time I was waiting for Equity and Access to approve a faculty position.  I was so pissed off, only partially because it was Franchione.

IMO, there was a non poaching gentleman's agreement under deloss and previous to him(aggy and even somewhat in conference).  That is gone with CDC and the massive conf realignment.

Hard to say since they’ve never had anyone worth a shit until now.

Didn't stop us from hiring David McWilliams.  Pissed off Tceh, too.  Double bonus.  (David didn't turn out to be such a great coach, but he was ours regardless.)

yeah, that's why I said somewhat for conf...and McWilliams being a former football player and graduate makes a difference.  same with Beard as well IMO.

That doesn't surprise me. 

The new coach needs to stop the daddy-ball shit. There was way too much of it in the last 3-4 years at a program like the University of Texas.

Maybe being a better leader and communicator at the HC position would do that...

I see the MLB draft is 7/14-7/16.  

What is the portal deadline?  

Well coaching change, so our players get 30 days. July 2 is the normal deadline

I assume the 30-days starts today, so 24 July, or?  I follow the game closely, but ever since Covid-19, I'm just lost when it comes to transfers and deadlines and all that shit.  I know registration beings 21 August, so should be plenty of time to get acclimated given the coaching change.

What led to this being the case anyway?

One would think there shouldn’t be much anywhere at the collegiate level.
