He could have said plenty of other things to the media(tell the players whatever the hell you want) that wouldn't irritate us as fans. That isn't coachspeak, because every coach in America doesn't say that when the take over the train wreck UAB was.

You're right. No one would have been upset with the hire if he came and said the players are not very good, we have stinky facilities and I don't know if myself or anyone for that matter can win here inside of five years. But, hey, ya'll keep coming to watch the games.

Exactly, MB.

I don't understand you, blazers9911. Are you saying we have no hope and you've given up on any chance of winning in the next few years? Are you just mad that McGee put so much stock in AB only to have it fail and him go back to JP?

You seem upset that I told an Arkansas fan that expectations would be high next year because we have a veteran team. Remember, high expectations here are not that high (6 wins and a crap bowl).

Sure, we all hoped for 6 wins or better this year, and some people expected more. We're all disappointed that it hasn't gone better, but is it unrealistic to expect 6 wins next year? Most of us don't seem to be ready to fire McGee at this point, even with the disappointing results. Don't you think that will change if we tank next year?
