That's fine and dandy but here's the thing. Do you know what kind of fricking butt frickery I would have to go through to hire a sales guy who only hit 20% of his numbers? Ok so it's not an apples to apples analogy but at the end of the day you either hire someone for a) what they bring to the table or b) what they can bring to the table.


I understand, and that is legitimate.

However, if that sales guy has been a proven performer selling Boats, and you hired him to sell a car, would you give him a little more time to get familiar with the cars you want him to sell?

What I am saying is, Chaney and Pittman are proven. Give them time to get the type players that are required to run their offense. I am not saying they are immune to being criticized....but to can them after their first year? We will be hard pressed to talk any recruits to come here if we keep going through coordinators. For that matter, we will be hard pressed to get a decent coordinator to come here if we keep firing them after one year.

Chaney is fricking disaster hire.

He might be and you might be exactly right. I am willing to wait and see. We felt like we would have to wait to see results from Kirby Smart, and I agree. I also think we need to wait and see on Chaney and Pittman. You might be right and I might be wrong.

How bout a board answering to the shareholders for hiring a CEO with no CEO experience at tenured CEO market rate and then asking them to wait 4 years for him to take the company to the next level... and use him being the Asian COO of a successful company who had a rockstar CEO as your support and reasoning??? While the company appears to be in a tailspin.
