Foggy: Gailey did a terrible job as offensive coordinator. I support him now in part because he has stepped aside and will allow Nix to do the job and with a offense of his design.

Now one more time......Nix should be able to have a greater impact on Reggie's play, regardless of past results since he alone is directing the offense....and Reggie.

Your problem is you want absolute proof that this is fact....that Nix's offense will be better, that Reggie will have a much better year....Hell, it is not fact. It is conjecture. You will have your facts after the season.

[/ QUOTE ]

Hate to tell you (SLJ) but you used facts several times! One was edited out but here is one that took me about 15 seconds to find and quote!

What? The word 'fact' and 'stating facts' are not the same thing. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugher.gif

'Detox from BuzzOFF' /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugher.gif Good one. I'm still getting use to the fresh air.

Now, if I look at the facts as I know them then I have to believe Gailey reviewed his work and the program and decided changes had to be made. Stubbornness giving way to reason is how I see it.

But no, I don't think it is a coincidence that the changes have been made after Braine resigned.

It was extremely helpful that Braine resigned and that Radakovich hired. The changes may not have been approved without the change in athlectic director. But remember that many of the changes announced happened before Radakovich was actually hired and onboard.

Radakovich, to my knowledge had nothing to do with the dismissal of certain coaches, the elevations of Giff Smith and Jon Tenuta, the hirings of Charles Kelly and Geoff Collins to round out the recruiting aces we hired last year in Brian Jean-Mary and Smith.

I think that Radakovich has no intention of telling Gailey how to run his business. But will hold him to a higher standard than Braine did. But while holding him to a higher standard, Radakovich fully intends to give Gailey the support that he needs in getting a fairer shake from 'the Hill' as far as admissions is concerned, and will get the various athlectic offices, its personnel, and their duties straighten out and running smoothly. This is where Radakovich's impact will start showing itself. His public relations work and personable approach to his job is already paying dividends. Everything is looking up. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Hers another one of the "facts as you know them!

[/ QUOTE ]

A 'fact as I see it' in relating to how Gailey might have reviewed the team's performance last year? Splitting hairs here aren't you? You kept harrassing me to explain 'my facts' as to why Nix will be able to improve Reggie's performance at quarterback. Not sure how you connect the two but whatever....BuzzOFF mentality? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugher.gif

Foggy: I edited my last post, if that won't work for an 'explaination'.....and I doubt it will since facts or conjecture rarely get in your way.....then why don't you tell me why it can't work? Why Nix and Reggie can't make it work this year.

[/ QUOTE ]

This is the post where you mentioned the word facts so all in all you used the word facts about 4 or 5 time!

But it's ok as we can not always remember what or where we made prior posts. You see I do read your post and read them thoroughly.

[/ QUOTE ]

You neither read thoroughly and rarely comprehend what you read effectively.
 
you better get some help SLJ to remember your posts. You said and I quote "these are facts" you edited that out and I even said so in a previous post. Let it go, you can not prove "these are facts" and I respect that you can have assumptions but assumptions are just that assumption and until the season is over they are assumptions! They may be correct, they may not be. But quit trying to defend yourself, you in your explanation trying to defend your position said and I'll quote it again "these are facts". Go read your post where you said "I edited my post". Next time don't say you said this or you did not say that, you in fact did say that!

I am beginning to believe you have a compulsive neurosis.
 
of, not to be argumentative, but the head coach is supposed to "interfere" with his assistants. He's the HC after all. I think your point is whether he will interfere in a negative way. Again, the only thing that will tell that is the outcome.
 
True NCJ, that's what I meant when I said interfere. He of course should interfere at times as he may have suggestions or have noticed a tendency of the opponent. But he should not be interfering on every call. That turns into a negative. My concern is that CCG appears to be so obstinate that he will not truly let go of the O reigns!
 
OK this and no more! I do read your posts, I'm sorry that you don't read your posts. But then again I guess you do as you edited out my point with you./ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugher.gif

Will the Radman allow CCG to interfere with Nix, I don't know, I only hope he does not.

[/ QUOTE ]

This sentence would indicate to me that you don't have a clue as to how Head Coaches and Athletic Directors work together. An AD is not going to tell any coach what he can or cannot do with his other coaches. The minute he does, he should be fired on the spot. Now if Gailey's fiddling results in poor performances, Rad has the ability to terminate his employment. But you don't handicap what your coach can and cannot do.

This sentence also places an unfair expectation on our AD. It is not his place to tell Gailey how he can or cannot coach his own assistants. So why would we possibly expect him too? If Gailey interfere's with Nix to your dislike, will you blame Rad as well? Just curious.
 
BOR do you just read one post at a time? If you do and it appears that you do, then read my next few posts. I explained my thoughts on CCG and Rad but you try to pick and chose, but then again thats you. So then by you supposition Braine should not have told CCG to hire coach T!
 
Boy did this thread get offcourse......part my fault though......'Old Foggy' and his discombobulated statements led me down a path of no return. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hugelaugh.gif

Goodness, I don't know at what point in all of this logic to begin. Maybe I'll start with a prior post of yours....

[ QUOTE ]
I will not say one more time like you did I should say many times!

[/ QUOTE ]

So to answer your question as to whether or not I read one post at a time... Sometimes I have to read one word at a time and even then, you'd have to have telekinesis to understand what was just said.
 
BOR, I don't expect people to be happy as I wasn't either. My problem is that we have made some changes in the off season and ( I'm not asking people to be happy ) some on here still bring up negatives when we haven't even suited up yet.

I don't erase seasons and yes i am very optimistic at the beginning also. I expressed my displeasure with Chan in Feb. about last seasons lapses and half ass efforts as well as bad coaching decisions. I got ridiculed because I waited till the end of the season, then I got riduculed when some fans got pissed because I vocally didn't call for Chan's firing. I've been told by especially one person on here that I am mediocre and accept mediocrity and this is from a guy who lives in the past and refuses to look toward the future and bashes and hijacks threads constantly.

I'm a fan like everyone else but I chose to be optimistic for the upcoming year,and a realist because I know how long a season can be and there are a lot of circumstances that can turn a season.
 
RM, I'm more optimistic than I have been in three years now! I just hope that the changes take effect and we see the light at the end of the tunnel! I have met some of Nix's relatives here in the Hazel Green area (they don't live here but close by) and they tell me how smart Nix is and when he was QB at Auburn he often told the coaches how he wanted to run plays. Hope it translates to our QB.

Not really off topic that much, and at least you and Foggy aren't really doing the BO thing.

I just wanted to bring up again the "problem" I saw with CG 4 years ago. It fits in a bit with the way this discussion has progressed: I thought that Chan Gailey was too accustomed to pro talent overall and especially at quarterback. The last 3 years have done little to make me change my mind. I have always thought that Chan could be a fine long term coach here if he understood his strengths and limitations.
Like many others, I am very optimistic about the direction and short term success of the program. My enthusiasm is a result of the radical changes reported over this off season.

If Chan sticks to his word, and if Pat Nix is the man to do it, I believe we will see the very best attributes Reggie has to offer. As a rewarding result for everyone but our schedule, I think it will be a very fun time on the flats this year.

I realize there are a lot of ifs in the past statements, but believe this type of progression is very possible....Your uncle Bob or aunt Helen doesn't beat Auburn twice and Miami in the last 2 years!

If I didn't believe that Gailey will keep his word and leave the offense to Nix I wouldn't be excited about the possibilities this season has to offer.

One more thing, the optimism I have seen lately on the Hive and Stingtalk isn't the blind happy crap you saw before the seasons past with Gailey at the helm.

Nevertheless.....Reggie must stay focused and with Nix has to get the offense out of the ditch. A new offense....and much improved execution....will be our keys. Lets give 'em hell this year! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/drinking.gif
 
The situation with Reggie is reminds me of the one with the Auburn quarterback (Jason Campbell?) of a couple of years ago who seemingly had limitless potential that went largely untapped until Tuberville changed offensive coordinators and lo and behold his senior year the light came on and it was like night and day. Perhaps, Reggie will have a similar road to Damascus revelation and become the player he has shown tantalizing flashes of becoming these last few years. Personally, I am skeptical but it could happen.
 
I am optimistic because there were changes...

We knew what we had with the old way & coaches, 6-6/7-5
type years. Beat one or more teams no one expects you to &
lose one or more games you should win. Issues with ST &
recruiting as well as the offense & the QB.

We seem to have addressed every single problem in a positive
way. Short of firing the whole staff, I don't know what else
we could have done. I guess we could have hired a proven
OC, not many of those available, but I'm actually excited
about what Coach Nix will do.

His resume suggests that he will be successful, with the
only question being whether he will get full control of
the offense. We will know the answer after the first
quater of the first game.

So you would assume that with these positive changes, our
record will improve. That's what I'm excited about.

I never noticed how Biblical Reggie's revelation could be.

Suddenly I haveth a most bountiful grippeth on the balleth and my backfoot(eth) shall not remain an obstacle but shall forever be a weapon(eth) to sleweth mine enemy - and yours.

Yeah, it works for me.

Actually, I'm maybe the last true Reggie supporter. The kid has heart. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blue.gif
