Very true... it definitely has to be the right fit, just as any program has to be the right fit for the right coach. Sometimes bringing a mid range or lower tiered team to prominence or at least respectability, can afford that coach a lot of freedom and control. Sometimes that's hard to leave for a place where the board, boosters, etc.maintain the control and make sure the coach knows who is running the show. I get that the coach has people they answer to, but the freedom and control factor can definitely vary from program to program. I'm not on the "in" with OkState so I don't know if this is a factor or not in their next hiring, whenever that will be. Others more in tune with the backstage workings of their program can probably discuss that aspect.

I am sorry you didn't' figure out that "Oregon State's not a power 5...that's funny" was sarcastic (s). I am pretty sure 95% of the people who followed the conversation knew it was sarcasm (NOT s) - is that how you do that? Just trying to make it easy. Furthermore, if you did not know, I am an Oregon State fan and I am aware they are in the Pac 12 (s) - Is that the correct symbol for a "little" sarcasm?

Sarcasm.

Not sure why you keep posting this unless you did t get the sarcasm of my post …”that’s funny’” ….. meaning the are a power 5 since they are in the pac 12. Reread my response with a sarcasm filter.

Oregon State's not a Power 5 school....that's funny. But anyway....Did I say it was a better job or did I say it's not the best job for everyone in a previous post? Did I say it was a better job, or did I say "we shall see" which is also absolutely true since it's all hypothetical and John Smith is the head coach, and Pendleton is let's say, busy the next number of years. I will say this again, it was fun to finish ahead of OK State last year in Pendleton's second year... is that what you're worked up about?

Ok Partners.... we shall see.... Regardless it was fun for him to finish above OK State in his second year as head coach at OSU.

"Definitely a better job" for who? Everyone? I disagree,- there are a lot of people this would not be a "better" job for... but it doesn't really matter because Pendleton put an end to the speculation and will be busy with another program for awhile.

Is there a mystery tag team partner they bring out in a cage with big sheet over it, not to be revealed until the actual firing happens? If so, I will buy the PPV.

That's what Cowboys did back in the day.... nothing like a good tater.

I make them mow my lawn before they can get it back. Consequences.

The main difference is that we just need more guys who can crush an apple with their bare hand.

Lamont was a graduate... he was a "free agent". Especially if there is tampering with a kid before they enter the portal.......

Maybe an fluorescent green and yellow look?

I saw in an interview with Carl that he said something similar... "We haven't been all in all season, but sometime in January, when we are made whole again by Levi Haines, we WILL be all in...then look out." It was something like that.

You should re-read.... it was a response to someone saying the tweet was ineffective in reaching people - he made the point that he has 12k followers and it was read 51k times. How is it beneath someone to point out a fact that a tweet reaches thousands of people?

Yep!

That makes sense.... when you actually explain it.

Could you quote me accurately and responsibly please.... my quote was "Funny how some people think a coach has nothing to do with the transfer eligibility.... NOT " a coach has nothing to do with transfer eligibility." That's a complete twisting of my actual quote. And to be clear... I don't care what you "believe" , "don't believe" or what "appears" to be ... Wrestlers have sat due to a coach/pogram not releasing them.

Antoniak to Nebraska

I'm guessing his 6 likes on the subject are people from this board....not much support for Bono in the responses. Funny how some people think a coach has nothing to do with the transfer eligibility.

Thread #234 on John Smith leaving. The only thing that matters, is that it won't be Chris Pendleton. GO BEAVS!

What was your name on the old board?

It's always good to see the lower level teams making strides. Kudos.
