If the decision has been made, and from what I have told it’s has, why in the hell don’t we get this over with and get a jump on the hiring process!?? It’s just dumb to wait another week when you can still get a slight jump on the other openings that are sure to come after next week. Makes zero sense to me!

I just received a response from Dr. Hawkins ! I must say that it is nice to get such a timely response! I also liked his response! I appreciate your willingness and efforts to make a change!!!! This response sounds like a fancy auto-reply. I HOPE I am wrong, but looking at and responding to emails at 10 pm AFTER that on field coaching performance, I personally would have all electronics OFF and NOT be checking emails. I apologize to YOU! Just read your follow up posts WITH the additional information! MAYBE Dr. Hawkins and AD Jones were actually sitting in the office making plans to make a change! They could have been monitoring emails to gauge the LEVEL of DISGUST. Timing IS everything, thank you for writing the email (while some of us were still on the road returning from that AWFUL event)!

He thanked me for my concern an said he shares the same concern for the direction of the program! He values my input and will consider it helpful in reviewing program What was your initial message to him? Same response I got during LB last years. Probably copy/paste it. Hawkins hired him, it's 100% on him

Procrastinating never works. Even if they hand him his Samsonite after Ga Commuter game we will go into early signing with either no coach or one with no time to recruit. GATA, Coastal, App and Gump will murder us in recruiting. New coach will have to try and find some hold outs or left over juco nobody wanted. It could be a disaster worse than the 14 juco LB signed his last year which was a entire wasted class

I just hot a response from Brent as well! His is a little more generic! He says that “the entire year he has been reviewing the program and knows that we are not where we want to be or expected to be and will make and will Make the necessary improvements and improvements/ changes to get back to our. Championship program!” Encouraging in my opinion!

Could be a contract issue. If we Let him go after the season is over it’s probably going to save a substantial $ since it is the end of his third year. From sources that write the large checks. Take it for what it’s worth. Follow the money folks.

Hopefully the decision is made, and we are behind the scenes putting out feelers for the new coach and (The HC we don’t speak of) will be gone regardless of Ga St. game.

I ,m pretty sure that it wasn’t a form letter! I sent it to him at 9 pm central time! I have emailed him in the past and never received a form letter response! Take it for what it is worth, if I was waiting a similar letter to the Chancellor of UF yesterday about Dan Mullen I doubt highly that I would have gotten any response at all! I have beach front property in West Virginia I need to sell you...

Let me bring a little ray of sunshine to this thread, remember ALL of the possible scheduling scenarios that we went through last season to insure we played a full football schedule? Surely IF that was true, there is a secret room SOMEWHERE that has all types of Coaching Carousel situations drawn up (thinking "A Beautiful Mind" or the most elaborate "Who Are Our Suspects?" board in a police station).
A.D. Brent Jones has had TWO plus years to THINK about the day THAT SHOULD BE COMING SOON, let us HOPE that when the dollar amount becomes affordable we have a SHORT LIST (that has ALREADY BEEN VETTED) to attack!
NOW I am off to take my blood pressure medicine (a GIFT from the end of the LB years)!!!

This makes great sense! Keep him for one more game to not have to pay a overpriced mid-season buyout! Perhaps it saves the program a ton of money that we can spend on a new coach! Personal I donât think Dr Jack is cheap, I think he is Frugal! Iâm sure of this is the case Brent has already got 2 or 3 candidates in mind! I will stand by my original thought that once 7 regular season wins was not attainable the door on (The HC we don’t speak of) is closed! Just a matter of the timing ! Letâs hope next Monday he is gone!

I hope and pray he had a three year contract because I have no faith they will can him and do the buyout. The damage of keeping this lousy excuse of a coach another season far outweigh the $800,000 buyout but we will see. All I can say with accuracy is if (The HC we don’t speak of) is still HC after next week then this administration and Hawkins no longer put football seriously

The coaches are frantic looking for jobs and not game prepping for GS, they arenât interviewing for HC. They know they wonât be retained. DC Hall is a Broyles award nominee, maybe heâll land a decent job. We may temporarily lose the players to. Hopefully playing in a Bowl will motivate all.
