Later Stoops

[sonofdaxjones]

I don't see Ruffin and Mike Stoops mixing well.  Maybe I'm missing something.

I see Ruffin as a buffer type.

Call me crazy but I've always thought that (despite the innovative offense schemes) TTU football was very soft -- especially on defense. It seems that Lincoln and Ruffin are going to make OU football soft, as well.

We are going to dirt kick their dicks.

My was mostly to seeing Ruffin's strange body roaming B12 sidelines again.

I think he is a pretty good coach and found it odd that ECU canned him for one 5 win season following 8, 10, and 8 win seasons.

I think it was maybe an internal thing at ECU? 

McNeil can coach.  He had some fairly efficient defenses at Tech.

It seems like they did a lot of damage to our offence when the Pirate was HC w/ Ruffin as DC.  I can still remember the "HIT" on Allen Everidge.

One of the nastiest hits I've seen a Cat football player absorb. Dwayne Slay. Pretty good name for a football player -- it gives the impression of ruggedness rather than softness.

It's actually external, he's outwardly black.

Yeah, he's good

[Skipper44]

Didn't RonP hire Ruffin for a minute to be our DC?

oh yeah, also tons of other amaze coaches

How did he get hired?

[sonofdaxjones]

Weird.  ECU replaced a black coach, with a black coach. 

:shrug

He presumably had an interview and signed a contract.

So? What's your point?

What was your point?

[MakeItRain]

Uncle Tom

Probably not a good idea to use that term in mixed company if you don't know what it means. Actually unless you're referring to a book by Harriet Beecher Stowe you should probably stay away from the phrase Uncle Tom, go with "My mom's brother, Thomas."

What was your point?

That he was another in a long line of every black D1 college football coach ever who got fired before his peers did. Wasn't that obvious?

Who were Ruffin's peers? 

Southern Miss who was in the same conference as ECU fired a guy after one season.

Skip Holtz won conference titles.  It was felt that Ruffin's trajectory was declining.  Lotta ECU people upset he was canned and wanted the AD fired including all 5 former ECU players I know personally. 

ECU fired guys after 3 seasons.  At UNC the next 3 coaches after Mack Brown got crap canned in 5 seasons or less.  Well, counting Butch Davis, the next 4, in 5 seasons or less. 

At NC State 9 out of the last 10 coaches got fired in 5 seasons or less and Dave Doernen won't make it past 5 if he doesn't crap Tiffany Cufflinks this year.

[MakeItRain]

Okay, cool.

[Katpappy]

Welp, Dax just shut this F Board down.  Never have I seen MIR submit in this fashion.

[MakeItRain]

You still haven't

[SdK]

I thought I had read one poster assert that a coach was fired for being black. That coach was replaced with another black man, then someone posted about how other coaches in the area have been given similar firings.

Between MIR and FSD today, I'm feeling like I need to repeat grade school.
