We need to stop some of our threads so that Scarbinsky will have to come up with his own topics for articles.

He's already got next weeks articles lined up

"Should athletes be allowed unlimited access to Twitter"

And

"who are the most likely celebrities to die in 2012"

Do you think Haase will recruit that Bob Stone guy?

Stone has a brother who is 6'-8" 265lbs.

McGee is really not qualified for the SEC. He hasn't failed in the NFL yet. Furthermore, I believe he has too much integrity and class to end up in the SEC.

How do you know he has integrity and class? Because he coaches at UAB?

You do realize he was hired OUT of the SEC, right?

McGee also has to think about 2 staffs should the opportunity come available to him. Arkansas' current staff, in which he says he thinks highly of, and also the one here, which he thinks highly of. Should he go, he can't have them all, Arkansas would be looking for continuity and UAB will not be obligated to keep any of theirs past this upcoming season, and could go in a totally different direction.

I personally don't want to belabor the issue until there is an actual vacancy.

I having biting my tongue, on this particular issue, during the course of this discussion over Petrino but I have to agree with MB on this one.

I know that we all WANT to give McGee the benefit of the doubt when it comes to his character AND WE SHOULD. He has given us to NO REASON to believe anything to the contrary.
BUT, let's stop putting him up on this pedestal. He does have some things from his past (like we all do) that could be considered bad judgement.
Building someone human up into this infallible image, who can do no wrong, is exactly why our public figures get the mind set that it's true.
And then we get left disappointed because our expectation doesn't match reality.

He's our coach. Let's pull for him, offer our support and encouragement and leave it at that.

At the end of the day he is human like all the rest of us and therefore has the potential to make mistakes.
