You lost me at "I hope MU has a plan......."

Touche.

i have to admit, like it or not, Spears acts decisively compared to past ADs

Hopefully with Spears and Smith they do now.  Remember, they didn't hire Huff.  They just went along with it as they came in.

[herdfan93]

I was hoping the DC would also be gone but it is what it is.

[herd2win]

Do you think we don't accept a bowl?  I guess everyone else can step up and take on additional roles.  This tells me Huff will need to have a good season next year or he is gone. 

Don't like to see anyone lose a job but it does give each of those guys the best opportunity to find something else.

I agree with being decisive, however, when Smith and Spears came on board we felt they were the answer to our problem, then came the decision on DD. Now things in our two major sports are in sad shape, some of this may be Spears covering  his back side.

not saying i can agree or disagree.
according to what i've seen/read, Spread Offenses have been dominate in CFB for about a decade.  it might stand to reason that the DC job is the most difficult.  even though everybody plays with the same deck of cards, Ds are naturally at a disadvantage before any snap by not having the element of surprise.  add just one element of potentially many hurdles- the fact your offense can't stay on the field for a reasonable length of time, the task just got harder.  Huff has had way better Ds than most of his peers considering offenses may arguably be at an historic peak of success

Spears was only here a month when that decision was made.  He wasn't going against the family AND the board in his first month.  He made the best compromise he could and weak BB conference plus weak ooc schedule gave DD enough illusion of turning things around to keep his job.  Nowhere to hide this year.

Dan's not going anywhere this year.  nobody in their right mind would give someone a 3-year contract & then can 'em after year 1 with a 2-year buyout.

I know surely this guy is going to miss this bunch named.  Really scratching my head thinking about our fans.  I mean GoHerd is finally making some meaningful sense.

I wonder how much Dan is being paid, the last number I heard was $250K? If Dan really loves MU as everyone says he does, he would not accept the buyout and give the money back to MU.

As a father I see what Danny is doing here.  We all want to make our kids comfortable.

Fair enough
