I have typed out 10 or so posts, all resulting in smack. I just can't post any of them.

I want you to fix your program, but I don't want that at the same time.

I feel for you guys up there and admire your loyalty, CM.

Sounds like y'all need a new AD. If he won't fire the coach for a poor job, then he needs to be fired.

Unfortunately, the chancellor has the AD by the balls and a certain millionaire booster and confidant of Briggs has the chancellor by the balls.

Even if that would happen, he still needs to be sent packing. Knowing us, ASU will score 70 and Catamount nation will continue to have to hear "we're close", "next year's gonna be better". You will NEVER hear Briggs take responsibility after a loss.xnonono2x xnonono2x xnonono2x

GO CATAMOUNTS!!!

Isn't this the same coach who guaranteed Western wouldn't finish last this year?

If his teams were showing some improvement in wins over the years I would lean toward giving him a chance, but, for an established coach to go two consecutive years in last place with no conference wins is not acceptable. Close losses are still losses.

Western has too many good athletes to consistently perform near/at the bottom.

I think they have stepped their schedule up a little bit from where they were here. And they still did not beat any of the top teams in the conference that year.

Things are a bit different as far as scheduling this year. WCU's OOC has two FBS teams and the team that is probably the OVC champ for this year, EKU. You guys also played The Citadel, Wofford, and Elon very close.

I think you guys are going in the right direction.

He must have some awfully incriminating pictures. :D

It's as simple as the bottom line. AD chose to sign an underperforming coaching staff to 3 year extensions. Cutting them loose now would result in over $500k in buyouts on top of paying for a whole new staff. That is too big a pill to swallow at the this level. I think that is the number 1 factor in Briggs retention. If things don't improve next year, the buyout number becomes more palatable after '08 and there will probably be change.

reminds me of the siuation that JMU had a few years back with our former basketball coach. Our coach was brought back after a few bad years because we had a big time donor he was his good friend.

It killed our program.........
