Give Me A Break

[BradleyJD]

this is weird...you appear more worried about posts that critique a guy who isn't and never has been head coach
than you ever were about posts that rip the guy who WAS the head coach...

I didn't realize stating a coach's record (JL's) was ripping him.

And I am not concerned about Fife being ripped...other than it could damage Bradley's image and recruiting. I thought this sight was Pro-BU.

I think I read that in the posting rules section

well then you are contradicting yourself -- as it was YOU who said he WAS BEING RIPPED!!

Read the other thread about Fife. He is being ripped already

The land of 10,000 athletic directors.......

I don't consider my self an athletic director but I do have a right to my opinion...as you do when you describe posters as 10,000 athletic directors...

You ripped him for being loyal. How is that a coaching record?

[tornado]

I pointed out he is loyal and even said PLAINLY that might BE one of the best factors in getting hired at BU
-- if you consider giving a guy a compliment "ripping him" then you and I clearly won't see eye to eye on this one..

I don't do spin. I just posted what was said.

Read the other thread about Fife. He is being ripped already and he hasn't even interviewed yet.

This is good for recruits and players to be reading.

I've looked at every mention of Fife. I do not see anyone who has "ripped" him or said anything untrue or negative toward him. If I am missing something, please post it or PM me. As I have said, he is a good guy, and maybe he will someday prove to be a consistent winner. His lack of success at IPFW is a fair point to focus on and is certainly not "ripping" him.

BTW, if pointing out factors in his record that are not great is ripping, then there are some posters here who would have been banned long ago for constantly doing that with Jim Les.

I do not doubt that.

Is the Eastern Kentucky coach available?

I think its fair to question anyone...I have positives and negatives about everyone....

I also think he is one of about 20 names that will show up, and everyone also needs to be reminded, that interviewing a good number of valid candidates, of which he surely is, is smart.

I am really sick and tired of all the complaining about President Glasser. Please give me a break.

Thank you Joanne for your comments!!

As I said earlier, but it applies here:
Tip of the Iceberg... fellas... tip of the iceberg.

Wait a few months (and years) ...

Bet it won't be 9 years!

The "next year" for BU has always looked promising under JL...

At the risk of being no more repetitive than other posters here with different opinions, BU had 3 All-MVC preseason players on its roster before the start of last year, but none of the Valley media apparently thought the whole team, scheme, and coaching would be good enough for BU to finish higher than 5th this past year? In the current political rhetoric, that had to be unprecedented in Valley history, and somewhat telling IMHO.

if the next coach has to deal with as many devastating injuries as JL did then he wouldn't even come close to finishing 4th...let alone numerous 20-win seasons and double digit post-season wins
