McGee talks a big game, but his actions tell me he doesn't have what it takes to be head coach.
If it is a cost cutting measure, it isn't McGees fault. But of course he is being blamed.
At $550,000 a year, (and whatever they pay Mackin) they
could pay for it out of their own pockets. I know he has less players to deal with, but I guarantee you Coach Haase would not let something like this happen to his guys.

RE: No FB awards/seniors banquet this year
People, STFU and think for a bit before you post. When you admit that you don't know the reason you can either assume it has to be something unique & legitimate (like, I don't know, virtually the entire defensive and S&C staffs are being replaced and many possible targets aren't free to be hired due to bowls, FCS playoffs, etc.) or you can come on here and say it's more likely that the coaches, unlike any other coaches in all of football, don't give two shots about their players. Even though you fully admit you don't know the reason, you go ahead and put the latter out here for every recruit, opposing coach, and media monkey to read.
I really wish some of you would think before you post: who is my audience and how is this going to help UAB? If it's a true screw up, have at it, but there is no damn reason to say, "I don't know, but I'm going to say it's the reason that makes certain folks look the worst they possibly could."

No reason is known right now.
Let's leave it up to those making the call to figure out what to do.

So do the players really read this board? Honestly, what proof does anyone have that players or recruits actually read this board?
Not former players, but current players or players who read this board while they played at UAB.

Recruit do have internet access, they do research schools that recruiting them and this site does pop up in search results but what does logic have to do with it.

Current players read the board and that's nothing new.

RE: No FB awards/seniors banquet this year
So? Wasn't it UAB?IAB that mentioned "wussification"? Now players can't dare read an internet post and make their own judgement? If reading BT is too much for them, probably ain't gonna handle gameday too well. Or 4 straight losing seasons either.

RE: No FB awards/seniors banquet this year
I know for a fact players and parents read the board too. Reality is what it is though. If anyone thinks the players and their parents are ok with this, I'll have to disagree.
Even Callaway had a banquet AFTER he was fired. Excuses can be made for not having one but fact is, the banquet is held not for the team awards but a closure to the season, a chance to fellowship as a team one last time, reflect and look forward.
Realism is sometimes in short order here. It was poor taste on whoever made the decision.
