He has some college coaching experience and this would be the time to find out if he's ready. What's the worst that could happen?

Why at Lamar's expense?    What's the worst that could happen?  0-10.   That may be OK for some here, but...

I would have to see the list first.  Woodard wasn't the best on the last list.  I don't remember all the names but I do remember they had the opportunity to hire Larry Coker but chose Woodard.  Let's not make the same mistake.

Not bad at all...One thing Stump will do that you can count on is try to keep talent from this area here.....Now if he does he will have to hire some good coordinators...lol what about a Arthur Louis.   He's like a Charlie Strong ahah recruiting wise

1. He will be inexpensive.

2. He knows the area.

At this point, it's worth taking a risk on.  Best case scenario is he wins and you have not set the program back financially. (Unfortunately, if he wins, he will not be here long.). Worst case, he's terrible and you let him go after 3 years (See #1).

The key word is "what if!"  Meaning not yet.  Does Lamar want to be test ground?   Like I said before, let's see the list. 

Todd Dodge, record speaking, is a better coach than Stump.  He was a total failure at North Texas.  Lamar's got time.  They need to do the right thing.  Their last two, possibly last three, choices have been total failures.  The second to last oversaw the destruction of the program.  Lets' pick the best available coach.  The last time the best available didn't get hired!

Not like Lamar is in a win now situation...Hey you have to find the right fit and just cause the name screams big splash doesn't mean it will be...

Nothing is wrong with giving Stump a chance 

The last two have been utter failures.  You willing to possibly put Lamar in that situation again?   If one looks at the list and sees Stump is the most qualified of the bunch, then yes, hire him.  But what if he's not?  You still hire him?

So you think Lamar should publish  their list?

Well Lamar needs to win now situation, when Lamar got passed up to go back to the Sun Belt conference for other teams it was a slap to the face in many eyes of Lamar officials. Now with Idaho leaving Sun Belt is looking at Lamar to come back. This could be our last chance for a very long time. We need to win now and hire a big name guy. Spend the money LU!

True, we haven't had a good track record on hiring coaches.  All I'm saying is let's take our time and do the right thing!  Sometimes one has to go out and find the the good candidate you want and not wait for someone to come to you.  Are they doing that?  Maybe -- maybe not!

    • Just to expound a little further, so you are not confused...I, along with so many others, are laughing at your desperation. You are working overtime, nay, double even triple time, trying to convince normal people Trump was bad for the country. His policies provided for peace all over the world, low gas prices, low food prices, energy independence, closed border, low inflation, record low unemployment, and on and on and on. You try to counter this narrative by saying unemployment skyrocketed on his watch. You said this knowing full well the unemployment rate went up due to Covid. Your narrative is just so laughable, to the point of side-splitting hilarity. Who would even attempt this asinine narrative? Now, even if you get past the utter stupidity of that MSNBC talking point, you provide another side-splitting hilarious tidbit of evidence to back your claim of Trump being bad for the country. You actually tried to tie the stock market going down to Trump...after Covid. You, I, and everybody else knows the stock market was flourishing under Trump...until Covid hit. This argument is just as bad as the other one. Again, who would even attempt this narrative? The only thing you could remotely muster that had any sliver of truthfulness, is that spending increased. Sure, Trump rebuilt the military and gave them a deserved raise. But he also had to shut down the government due to Democrats demanding an even more, and very detrimental, increase in spending. And in a true extremely exaggerated fashion, you proclaim that spending "skyrocketed". Again, who would even attempt this narrative? I think I can smell the desperation. Do you have any other whoppers to contribute?
    • He was injured but has returned and he decided not to play baseball this year.
    • There's some truth to that.......some.
