The BMFP IS in the Room Part II

[DirkPiggler]

I'd like to be a fly on the wall the first time an O lineman is told to go to the whiteboard and diagram blocking assignments against particular defensive sets and stunts.

Hell I'd like to be in the room the first time he asked Cody Kennedy to do it, assuming he's still employed once meetings start.

If Long didn't know about it, he should have been fired for lack of institutional control (assuming what Bobby did was a fireable offense, which I do not believe).  Long signed off on the hire knowing fully well that Dorrell didn't meet the posted qualifications, which was another reason I maintained that the lawsuit angle was bullshit. 

The bottom line is that Long didn't like being second fiddle in his own band.  The first chance he got to get rid of the star and move into first chair, he took it, without regard to how it would affect the health of the program long term.  A rational AD would have found an appropriate punishment short of firing, taken the brief hit from a media possessing only short-term memory, and ultimately preserved our football program as opposed to killing it.  And a normal SEC AD would have buried the shit and made sure it never saw the light of day. 

I took a lot of shit around here and elsewhere at the time for calling Long a dishonest attention whoring snake.  Time has proven that take to be true and vindicated me.

He has to be at the game tonight, right?

This is it. Long thought HE was responsible for our success and hated that Petrino was getting the credit.... For coaching the football program. Long was such a petty bitch.

I haven't heard anything on that yet.

I do know that Pittman was pissed that word got out Sunday that Marion and Faulkner turned us down within a couple hours of us sending an offer over. He felt it made him look bad. Supposedly an agent has been contacting Sam to express BMFP's interest in the job since Jimbo was fired at A&M. Sam was hesitant to move forward with mutual interest from BMFP for weeks (no idea why) until Sunday afternoon and into Monday.

Pittman is very aware off what is said about him publicly. He is very insecure. His wife is on twitter all day reading the negative things said about Pittman on twitter and let's him know about what is said. They are obsessed with that.

That's interesting to know.  I kept having this suspicion that talks have been in with Petrino since Jimbo was fired.  Perhaps that is not the case, and I'm giving Sam and Yuri too much credit.

One of the secrets to success in life is that when you luck into good results, make it look like you meant to do it.  Let's see if they are smart enough run with it.

Was the hire even Pittman's choice? Doesn't matter, but I wonder.

[Sus-Scrofa]

Pittman knows this is it for him. Either the season is a success or it isn't. If it isn't, there will be no excuses he can make that will save his job.

He has no reason NOT to just hand the reins of the offense over to Bobby. He's playing with house money. If Bobby succeeds, Pittman gets another year. If Bobby fails, Pittman is gone.


In all but title and the occasional camera shot on the sideline, we HAVE hired a new head coach.

The thought crossed my mind this morning that there has been no official word from the University.

Bobby's tweet doesn't say coordinator...

Just sayin

maybe not.

but if it was really money that kept him from getting canned after the miss st. and auburn debacles, then what leverage did anyone have to make him do anything?

Yeah, well mother fucker, I fucking did.  Maybe, it's just because I'm smarter than you.  I don't know.  I don't make the rules.

Will his style work in this new era of NIL and easy transfers? We saw how it worked out in the pros with players making more money than him not taking kindly to a disparaging word thrown their way. Will college kids take to that type of coaching now that they see how much $$ they're worth at other schools? This is the one thing that has me hitting the pause on seeing BP (going to have to earn the MF back) slide into the HC chair.

Or maybe it's because you have an opinion on every fucking thing posted on this board, usually in a self righteous, condescending manner.  Due to the sheer number of topics you have graced us with your know it all, patronizing repartee, you're bound to be right once in a while.  You know, broken clock and all.

Dudes that want to get to the League are going to want to play somewhere where they can get developed.  For offensive players, Bobby does that as well as anybody.

[SwahiliSteve]

Now that BMFP is coming here do some of the guys that jumped into the portal come out or just good riddance to them

You know, while we are talking redemption Mel Tucker was a DC through his development

Lol Travis Williams was a linebacker for the Atlanta Falcons... in 2007.  Might be the ultimate "What do his former players think of him" scenario.

so true, put that in the quote thread and make up a famous guy saying it
