If that's the case... good riddance. Frankly, the fact that we're going out there and getting a coach is a breath of freakin' fresh air on so many levels. it was the exact same thing with frost. we aren't 'settling' and paying a middling amount and stagnating anymore. Attitude (good or bad) starts at the top and there was 10-15 years where we didn't have the wherewithal to sack up at the top. And it showed. Frankly, if he didn't want to pay for a coach he shouldn't have been involved in the decision process on any level.

dustystehl Posted March 25, 2019 Report Share Posted March 25, 2019 I would bet that winter weather and pot holes have more to do with him wanting to move back to the South than the AD's desire to spend money on a basketball coach.

Why would he leave when he could just tell Bill no? I'd imagine between the politics of boosters, athletic department, and other administration, they tried forcing his hand to pull the trigger. It's possible he knew that no matter what he did this was going to get through and he didn't want the blood on his hands of protecting the academic budget versus athletic spending, which is already tense. All speculation. But I could see this being a factor. Silverbacked1 and thrasher31 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bounds really likes athletics. He was a football GA for a school before getting into education. I read several times last year that he frequently attended football practices. I think his issue is with the state legislature in funding the university. bobcat402, Silverbacked1, hhcmatt and 3 others 1 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
