MBA's Next Football Coach

[Red77]

This has really been quiet for some time. Those supporting this ridiculous administration have been very quiet. I have been quiet because I wanted the scenario to play itself out and it sounds like an out of tune guitar being tuned by Spinal Tap at a dress rehearsal. Food for thought: Somebody ask around campus and see how well the new Head Coach is making an impression on the football alumni. Better yet, ask about the alumni's impression and how they have been treated. You might be surprised, maybe not. He is now the Head man and can do as he pleases as long as he keeps the "G-Man" happy.

 

P.S. Why do you think Coach McG came back to MBA years after he left?

 

 

I don't know who you are, but you give the impression of being very close to MBA, and also having a serious bitter bone to pick As an alum, who is not only close to the school and football program but also to many, many MBA football alumni, I have to say that Coach McGugin has gone out of his way to get us invovled again in the program in a way I have not experienced before. If I listed the functions, correspondence and personal communication that he has already offered, anyone would be impressed by the effort. Whether he will be successful or not, only time will tell, but the amount of work that he is committing is more than admirable. Plus, the players love his enthusiasm and dedication. There is a very optimistic spirit surrounding the team thus far, and if you are in fact an alum, your continued criticism is not only not appreciated by many, but also in fact taints our beloved school. Although I have thought most of your comments should not be dignified with a response, and as you can see, I rarely respond to anything on this page, I do think young Daniel deserves defending in light of the efforts he has been making. Roll Red, Roll.

What, no one wishes to chat about which assistant coaches are looking to bolt?

 

I spoke with Coach Elliot in April and he planned to remain.

[TheBigRedDog]

Coach Elliot is still on the staff, as are David Brown, Jamie Redmond, and Todd Moran.

 

I have heard nothing but good things about the job Daniel is doing.

How is Coach Black doing?

I agree completely. McGugin has gone out of his way to update and correspond with alums, and he has openly invited them back to help in the middle school program. I've talked to several alumni who have been particularly impressed with his involvment with them.

 

I also just got done talking with a recent graduate and a current player on the team. We were not even talking about football or MBA and the current player, unprovoked, told the recent graduate what a good time he was having playing with the new coaching staff. He was very happy with the current situation.

FYI. The St. Louis football Cardinals moved to Arizona in 1988.

 

 

It took you 4 months to realize this? It was a joke about St. Louis.

 

Gotcha!

Hoosierdad,

 

Look if they want to make "Little Joe" mad after he gave them the money for the new turf that's ok and it only shows the character of the people running the school. It didn't take long for Ricky to hire "Little Joe" as the kicking coach and get the inside track on his war chest of gold. Let's now see how long MBA will have to wait before they can do any additions to the school since "Little Joe" owns the real estate. On a side note, is it true that "Little Joe" & Boots have taken the Backfield in Motion program down the road to Ensworth? Who were the people that said Ensworth would not hurt the Big Red?

It took me 4 months to bother looking it this topic. Not everyone is as fixated on this subject as you.

One of my close friends phoned me yesterday and informed me that "Little Joe" has two signs in his front lawn: One is for his brother-n-law Karl Dean who is married to Ann and is running for mayor of Davidson County and the other is a sign advertising BATEMAN PAINTING COMPANY. It looks like "Little Joe" is serious about being PO'D at the G-Man and is not going the give the million dollar piece of property to MBA at this time.

 

I have two questions for the Big Red faithful: Did the G-Man accept the gift of Field Turf from "Little Joe" and then tell him his services were no longer needed at MBA?

 

Is "Little Joe" now going to work with Ricky & The Boys and be the kicking coach at Ensworth?

Is this the Batman's from Father Ryan? I guess the next thing we will see is the Ryan crest in the front yard along with a big orange E surrounded in black. I wonder if we will ever see a red and blue BA in the yard.

Those of us non Nashvillians really don't understand who "Little Joe" is or who "gifted" the turf to MBA but what really intrigues me is what MBA did to hoosierdad. You have given generously to MBA but are obviously are fixated on criticising the "G-Man" and all things MBA. What causes the burr in your saddle, hoosierdad?

Gentleman Scholar Athlete. I just want the staff to be treated like human beings. If you read my earlier post, you will see most of this derives from the handling of Coach R. I have aired what has transpired on numerous occasions. Not everything is bad at MBA, only a few sour apples. There are many good men who work at this great institution, Mr. Tilman being at the top. If you can't see what caused my burr, then you can't ...... Have you noticed the school and the individuals were defended, however, what I have stated has not been disputed. MBA is a great institution and will be for some time, even after all of these men are gone, however, I will not sit be idly see everything through rose colored glasses.
