Maybe not all of, but definitely some.

Re: Doug Gillin?
Since he'd been mentioned, thought I'd let y'all know David Jackson recently had hip surgery and is currently going through physical therapy. Didn't see if it had been mentioned yet.

Re: Doug Gillin?
I was told that people in athletic administration knew that Drinquits was putting his name out in the market as early as October. Based on that, I would not be at all surprised to find out that a plan was already in place.

Re: Doug Gillin?
Drinquits, love it, I’ve been saying “former head coach”. If I ever have to talk about him again you just saved me two words.

Re: Doug Gillin?
You're really suggesting that someone who didn't get another job should get a raise for not getting another job? If that's the case, are you hiring?

Re: Doug Gillin?
I guess we can call him names if it makes us feel better. But, would we really want him here if his heart wasn't in it? When all is said and done, we may wind up in a better situation (until the next coach does something we don't like).

Re: Doug Gillin?
That doesn't necessarily mean he didn't get another job. Have you thought that we might have some extra cash now that could be used to keep him here?appgrad95&97 wrote: ↑Wed Dec 11, 2019 2:59 pmYou're really suggesting that someone who didn't get another job should get a raise for not getting another job?

Re: Doug Gillin?
If you are job hunting with another firm, and have an offer in hand while not being opposed to staying where you work, you'd be a fool not to listen to their counter offer.appgrad95&97 wrote: ↑Wed Dec 11, 2019 2:59 pmYou're really suggesting that someone who didn't get another job should get a raise for not getting another job?

It's entirely possible App worked out a package for Gillin that made it more attractive to stay in Boone rather than go to Cincinnati. Whomever they would choose over him would have to be pretty damn impressive.

Re: Doug Gillin?
Take a look at all the AD salaries. I say he deserves a raise.

Re: Doug Gillin?
I'm sorry, but I don't agree. The Yosef Club doesn't come close to covering scholarships and expenses. It is my understanding that the athletics department is under water. Our basketball team is a joke. Baseball? He's the athletics director not just the director of football operations. We have a lot of work to do. He has a lot of work to do. If he wants another job, God bless him. But App needs an AD who understands the whole picture. To me, that's why the AAC isn't interested in him or us.ericsaid wrote: ↑Wed Dec 11, 2019 3:13 pmIf you are job hunting with another firm, and have an offer in hand while not being opposed to staying where you work, you'd be a fool not to listen to their counter offer.appgrad95&97 wrote: ↑Wed Dec 11, 2019 2:59 pmYou're really suggesting that someone who didn't get another job should get a raise for not getting another job?

Re: Doug Gillin?
The basketball team was thrown under the bus by Cobb. Fox didn't pan out but the new guy seems to be making some strides in a relatively short time. Baseball teams are built over years, much like football. It will take a couple of seasons to get that roster rounded out.appgrad95&97 wrote: ↑Wed Dec 11, 2019 3:28 pmI'm sorry, but I don't agree.

You can't buy every bad coach out when they don't pan out. You have to ride it out until their buy out is manageable, which is what was done with Fox. Then you move on.
As for the Yosef Club, App does the least in terms of advertising and explaining the impact of a donation that I've seen.

Re: Doug Gillin?
Ok...I've got 4 young daughters and am 36 years old. Someone is offering me $16.0 million to bring my craft to another local. I didnt plan on it, it came sooner than I expected, I know I got lucky and i hate to do this but I cant afford to pass this up. I see this no different than an underclassman leaving early for the NFL fearing injury. And Im sure all the heavy lifting came from his agent not him. I know he stiffed all of us including Gillin but at the end of the day do I blame him? I'll make fun of him but I wont blame him.
