Fire LHC Bill Snyder Master Thread

[T42YS]

Saw a good suggestion on the Bring on the Cats blog. J.C. Harper, current head coach at Stephen F. Austin. Dude took a completely dead program to a powerhouse in the Southland Conference based on...guess what?...turning around a really crappy defense to be one of the conference's best.

Throw some money at him, Currie.

[SkinnyBenny]

Nope, just get Leavitt somehow. 

[T42YS]

OR MAYBE WE COULD GET LEAVITT SOMEHOW. goddamn, i'm just full of amazing ideas today.

BANNER:  "Fire Snyder Unless He Fires Cosh; But Even Then He Has To Hire A Proven DC Or Else We Still Want Him Fired. Maybe Jim Leavitt?  "

I like that.  Now let's decide on font.

Looks like it's still up to us...

Wow...I pulled an "old Bate" last night.   Reply
My apologies. I thought it was kinda funny at the time, but now I realize that I just made myself look like an ass. I don't ever do that sort of thing, and yeah, I was HIGHLY intoxicated. (Not that that is an excuse)

Anyway, like I said, I'm sorry that I acted that way. It won't happen again.

so does that mean   Reply
you don't have evidence that changes are being made effective immediately?

I have evidence that I had that I had too much to drink. The text I got only said that a "meeting" was going to take place. I took that and ran with it. Absolutely no idea what will take place during that meeting or even who all is going to be involved.

I know, I'm an idiot. Sorry.

linncat - don't be an ass - the guy already said he was sorry - he was drunk and we were all pissed after losing a game ugly that we should have won.

I HIGHLY doubt snyder would send a text that referenced a routine meeting.

Just to be clear, it wasn't a text from Coach, but from someone on the staff who is a close personal friend and has been for 15+ years.

And I know, I was a complete idiot. I was drunk and pissed off. Like most everyone else.

Already forgiven......   Reply
but I still hold out hope that your first post is right. There does need to be some serious changes made.

Dude...

If I had a quarter for every time I wish I hadn't made a drunken ass of myself on this board... well... let's just say I'd have to change my name to "VENDING_MACHINE_WARRIOR"!

As far as I'm concerned, no apologies necessary. If the whole board hadn't been so hyper-sensitive to the fact that we all think big changes on defense need to be made, we wouldn't have escalated your post into such a big deal in the first place...

Cat-up my friend!

FYI Powercat46...you were nowhere close to the "old Bate" last night. Actually you are quite entertaining when you drink. I was just an bad person when I did that late at night, sparring with anyone that came my way. Fortunately for me, those days are over. Booze is no longer a part of my life and my life is 100X better as a result. No apology necessary. TNB

Congratulations, Bate. I have to admit I was waiting for the first Bate Meltdown, but it is obvious you are a different person now, and it is quite refreshing.

And for everyone else, I have know idea who Powercat46 is, but from his previous posts, it is obvious he is able to donate more than the Average Joe, knows a lot of people in Manhattan, and has good connections. I took his post with several grains of salt last night, knowing he is connected, but also realizing his writing tone was different than normal- i.e. I assumed he'd had a few drinks.

I think this guy is on to something with these anger drums.

If we can't pull an airplane sign can we at least have these, Trim?

The Drums of Anger in Wildcat Land

The fan base is stirred. The fan base is pissed - and this is an angry stinking piss. The defensive performance was unacceptable and requires a consequence. The fan base needs the defensivce coodinator's head chopped. Coach Synder either you give us the sacrificial blood or get the effin out of here. How can you recruit with your current coordinator in place? Get up, get off your loyalty ethic and save your program. Cosh erodes the brand.

Absolutely.  Mods, we're going to need 5000 of these with the katpak head emblazoned (Wyatt's term) on the drum heads.

Gonna need these anger drums to smell like anger piss as well.  Details, but the mods ought to know if we're serious about this.

WOW after reading the longggggggggggg cac twitter thread I see this.

[unleashthemob]

What can we do?  OB's track record of not cutting incompetent assistants if very disconcerting.  How do we get out in front of this, start momentum and get the conversation started?

Trim said we can't do a plane banner.  But we gotta do something.

bill's master plan....by getting us to hate cos he'll be able to bring back Elliott and we'll be thanking him for the upgrade

WTH would Venables come to KSU as a DC?  Coming as a HC only and there's multiple reasons why Bill will still be here after this year.  This crap needs to be fixed NOW.

Venables would come for the HCIW tag.  That will never happen, but it would work.

idc what happens.

I want Cosh out, and i want someone good in. i want Jim real bad though...

[Joker]

It seems like there are two camps here.  Sort of like the Carson deal.  Those who want Snyder gone, and those who just want Cosh gone.

I have no problem getting rid of Snyder, as long as we replace him with a solid proven coach.  No more experiments. 

On the other hand, if there really aren't any realistic options to replace him at this time, I'd still be fine with a Leavitt or someone to replace Cosh for the time being.  I think Snyder is still a good overall COACH.  And, I think most would agree that if we had a decent (30-40 ranked) defense, we would actually have a pretty good team.

But, I think it's pretty stupid to get rid of Snyder right now, just for the sake of getting rid of him.  We could very easily end up in another Ron Prince type situation, and be set back a few more years.  At least we seem to be gaining a little bit of momentum with a bowl game likely this season.
