And Mark Snyder is still our defensive coordinator.

Not expecting any movement until December, although at this point, Terry Price can't do any worse.

I heard Muschamp is on Rick Perry's short list.

Bless his little soul, but Rick Perry needs to stay out of this one.

If it gets you Muschamp then I'd want him hands on deck.
As a defensive coordinator he's as good as it gets in this league. He's in over his head at Florida because the defense can't play offense. But when his responsibility has been solely defense his reputation can't be slighted.

I worked with Perry periodically when I worked as an aide one session of the Ledge (before he became Gov, obviously), and I have interacted with him maybe a dozen times since then, mostly at Republican functions.
He may be one of the dumbest human beings I have ever met. He needs to stay out of ALL substantive decisions. It is an embarrassment that Texas keeps electing this man.

Don't get me wrong, he is a nice guy. But with the resources this state has and low taxes, anyone could have navigated this state through the recession. As the GEICO commercials go, its so easy a caveman could have done it. (Now public speaking, that's another arena) To me, he personally started to go down hill a long time ago, but started to free fall once he started adopting some of that tea party rethoric. It doomed McCain and it doomed Perry.
I hope he (and any other good ol boy) truly stays out of any personnel changes as Sumlin is owed the right to hire/fire who he pleases. I know some of our big money Ags and AD personnel tried to persuade Sherman to hire an OC his last year, and that was probably a good idea. But each man should have the right to write their own course, even if its the wrong one.

First of all, the Tea Party movement didn't begin until after Obama beat McCain in the election.
Second, McCain is as much a Tea Partier as Wendy Davis.

It did, but the rethoric and tone that they use began late into the 2008 elections.
McCain isn't part of the tea party, but the way he attacked Obama at the very end is similar to what the Tea Party did in their early beginnings. Some of McCain advisors have even said he regretted the attack position he took and was disturbed by the stuff he saw from rallies he went to. A lot of that hate carried over to the Tea Party.

Let's not pretend that Wikipedia is a particularly impressive primary source, but
The Tea Party is comprised of people whose understanding of policy extends as far as the four corners of a bumper sticker.
quote:
The origins of the current Tea Party movement can be traced back to circa 2007. The movement's beginnings were kick-started by Republican Congressman Dr. Ron Paul in 2007. His GOP presidential campaign received a 24 hour, record breaking, money bomb on December 16, 2007;[24] which is the 234th anniversary of the Boston Tea Party. This event directly contributed to creating a libertarian revival and divide in the Republican Party

You may not see it as such, but the lack of compassion and the omission of caring when discussing touchy matters has ultimately ran off many moderates from voting republican. They have the right message, but wrong method of delivery.
Tea Party has been a cancer for the republican party in terms of inviting moderates and right leaning democrats.
But enough politics. Anyone know who is responsible for the statistically good defense at Pitt? What about Wisconsin? I'd imagine we could outbid both of those schools for the services of their DCs.

The average person who has voted Republican in the general election is a center-right voter. He seldom votes in the Republican primary.
The average Tea Party voter is so far off to the right end of the political spectrum that he may not actually appear on the graph. He ALWAYS votes in the Republican primary.
So the average Republican candidate is now beholden to a group of people who hold views so extreme that 75% of the population considers them to be odd.
Is it any wonder that lots of traditional Republican (general election) voters are starting to think that a center-left Democratic might be the lesser of two evils?

I left the party in 2008 when it became clear the party was no longer for someone like me. It is now the party of the religious right and old reactionaries. It is no longer a party that appeals to my age group. It's dying. Fast.

Whatever the "tea party" became and what Ron Paul represents are not in the same stratosphere.
Posted on 10/21/14 at 6:31 pm to Projectpat
Agreed.
Ron Paul is a traditional Libertarian, evem if sometimes an unrealistic one. (Do what you want, so long as it does not harm me.)
The modern Tea Party consists of ultra right reactionaries. (My way or the highway ... Bible thump for good measure.)
