The redshirt for Eastman doesn't come off until he actually appears in a game.Comment

Yeah, I don't think it's like a "thing" that you apply for. Just that once you've appeared in a game for your team during a season it counts as one of the four seasons. So like, if a player played as a freshman, and then without injury never appeared in a game during their sophomore season, it could be a "redshirt"Comment

I love this idea....especially if DSE can make it back in three or four weeks. The hope is that with rest, DSE can be back in uniform on Jan 1st. If (a big if) this can happen their is absolutely no reason to bring Jake off of redshirt at this point.....Ryan can fill the spot for a game or two.Originally posted by Buesch N Chips View Post"Losers find an excuse...winners find a way" - Joe StowellComment

Agreed...especially since he's hurt. I still question why they even mentioned it. Maybe they had to for NCAA reasons....but since they can still r/s him why not wait to say anything until he's ready to go.Originally posted by Chucky T's View Post
Then IF he's ready to go....make the announcement and let him play as warranted.Comment

Dogs, do you see why many fans think those who criticize the coaches do so gratuitously. It's a no win situation for the coaches, whatever they do, they get criticized by all the experts with a keyboard.Originally posted by dogsrus View Post
Because of DSE's injury, the team wanted the media to know that Jake was available to play in an emergency. They made it clear that Jake's ankle sprain would likely keep him out of the game, but he was dressed and available if foul trouble resulted in an unlikely situation where they needed another player to take the floor. If that had happened, and no announcement was made before the game, media and some fans would have been up in arms over the "deception". But by not playing Jake, there is no harm done to anyone. Everyone expected he wouldn't play, and his redshirt is still an open option.
With everything else that's being criticized, and all the second-guessing, I just don't see this is any big deal either way, but I think they did the right thing in being open and honest about what was happening with DSE and JE.
Can't the coaching staff make a single decision without being lambasted?Comment

They are getting paid good money to do their jobs and to get lambasted by pseudo-coaches. I agree with you in this situation though.Comment

If coach Les hadn't mentioned bringing JE off the redshirt, and then put him in a game, would it have been "deceiving" and "unethical"? I seem to recall multiple conversations about coaches lying when it comes to player availability, and JL being called out numerous times.

Nope! If we lose tomorrow we'll be 5-5 in what many called an easy non-conference schedule, not me. And I hope we don't lose tomorrow. But any school that I went to, if there are 10 questions on a test/quiz and you only get 5 right that's a D and you hope the teacher likes you to get it. I like JL, so if we lose tomorrow I'll give him/players a C- for going 5-5 and winning one big game. And if that happens (losing tomorrow) and then opening the MVC season at Drake and losing, there will be many, many questions asked and rightfully so.Originally posted by BUfan14 View PostComment

Haha in my academic career a 50% has never been higher than a F. The test is about 29 to 30some questions though not 10Originally posted by BU RICK View Post
I was also just agreeing with DaCoach that people sometimes nitpick at the coaching staff for things that really have nothing to do with our record, like how something was said or announced or everything really...I'm not saying our record is good or unquestionable right now.
But while we're on that I think I've stated something like this before; I'll wait until the whole test is graded before giving out a grade. I think any student would appreciate this cause they could've done good on the rest of the test and just bad on the first page Just because you have a 5/9 on the first page doesn't mean you will get that on the whole test nor should a teacher assume that's what you got and not grade the rest.

If I remember right we were 21-17 last season? So that's 38 test questions. So we got 21 out of 38 right. 21 divided by 38 = .5526... Good for a baseball team that plays 162 games but not good for a college team that plays 38 games. I gave JL a C- last season, and again I must say I like him, for only getting a little more than 50% right. And I got a light slap on the wrist for the C- rating.Comment

[QUOTE=Da Coach;153095]Dogs, do you see why many fans think those who criticize the coaches do so gratuitously. It's a no win situation for the coaches, whatever they do, they get criticized by all the experts with a keyboard.
I think its a bit of paranoia by those FEW, not many, that think everything is a criticism. And are those that ask questions any more or less "experts" then those that defend?
I asked a simple question..."why did it have to be announced." I didn't say I disagreed or thought JL should be fired becuase of it...nor am I jumping ship.
I simply wondered IF there was a reason for it to be announced when the possibility of recsinding it was still available.
People who are "in charge"...people who get into this type of business and others understand ahead of time that decisions will be scrutinized by those that also support them.
I am also critical of my gov't, those that run the business I work for and of many more things that I have a vested interest in.
As long as this program stuggles to move beyond mediocrity in the eyes of many there is going to be alot of second guessing by the masses.
As MO said..."BU, land of 10,000 coaches." Allthough those were just the PAID numbers...it was more like 6500.
