at the time, from an outsider's perspective, it seemed like a terrible idea to get rid of stansbury. it has proven to be so.


Teammates brawling in the stands aside and all.

They didn't have a choice but to shitcan Stansbury at that point. Even Mark Richt couldn't have lost control like that.

yeah, old renaldo sidney was a piece of work. that being said, starkville is a place that is far enough off the beaten path that stansbury could have easily ridden out that storm.

when stansbury was still at state, the team was consistently in contention for the post season if not always a tournament team. they were tough and well coached if not always very talented - go figure that the one year that stansbury went out of his way to get talent the wheels would fall off the wagon.

i guess its all about managing expectations and whatnot, but I really thought stansbury had the program at a pretty darn solid level for a middle tier SEC school. They were consistently better than most other SEC teams and certainly had their boot on the neck of ole miss, which is of course a job requirement in starkville.

If we lose out, regretting firing stans will not even cross my mind.
