What is the indication that Tang is/was super-mad about this, there is a big row between Tang/Gene and Linton and prob gonna leave? Everything I see is just speculation by internet weirdos and journos.

Obv if all the speculation is true, then we better be doing everything we can to get the hatchet buried. It may seem weird for a mbb coach to be more important than a UP, but in this instance that certain seems to be the case from my vantage point.

yeah, I mean, there is a lot more than speculation, just fyi on that point.

also every division 1 P5 basketball and football coach is more important than the UP. not even comparable roles in how much more important the HCs of those sports are. maybe we were just not used to it because wefald was here for like 100 years but that position rolls over constantly at actual normal schools. it's very much a replaceable role and very much a revolving door at most big schools. we can replace linton (and whatever he brings to the table which I haven't the slightest idea what that is) but will have a harder time replacing a good FB or BB coach (which imo we somehow have right now which rules).

also if you're just a money guy check what salary each participant makes. all else equal that's a good measure of importance.

It’s kinda hard to tell how successful a UP is, and very easy to tell how successful a HC is. Everyone knows Tang kicks ass and I have no idea about the other guy so yeah I’m team Tang all day long.

Not that I have any reason to believe there’s even a rift here outside of rumors and speculation.

If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

Probs because it’s really hard to objectively measure if they’re doing a good job relative to their peers.

totes agree with the rest of your post btw.

Which is why the thought of Gene/Tang, but especially Gene, having hands forced by UPDL didn't/doesn't make much sense.

I like to think of Gene, Tang and Klieman as SNL's Ted Brogan, Chico and Catman, while UPDL is more like Daddy Chris Kattan.

Tang is pretty amazing.  Maybe he's a great actor, maybe I'm a naive sucker, I don't know, but I buy what he's selling.

he’s as genuine a person that there is, i’m surprised that you don’t know that.

It's more an indictment of my shitty cynicism than anything.  Genuineness isn't something I come across that often these days.

He’s one of the rare few that are so genuine, that it almost seems as though it has to be an act, because we are so unused to being in that type of presence. I have a cousin, who I hadn’t seen since childhood, but ran into a couple of years ago that is very similar.

I don’t know if every university needs a Tang, but I know ours does.
