Imagine the donation surge if a big name, like Jimmy or Barry, was named as coach.

Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy.  Are you talking about THE Jimmy Johnson.  Man, there is NO WAY that he is leaving the Florida coast to come to LU.  Surely you can imagine the millions of dollars he has been offered to come out of retirement and coach somebody's team.  Just not gonna happen.

And Barry . . . ?  Why, just for the name?  If he were to agree to come, I wish I were able to match it plus a dollar to get him to decline.

Get outta there unlv - you're making all of us that are serious about the project very nervous.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaat?    worse case I'm wrong, so what.... However If I  say it enough, I might trigger something in the universe that reverses the polarity

in Jimmy's brain.

I'm also warming up to the idea of Craig Stump as head coach.  Since most of Lamar's big donors are local people I think they'd be satisfied with him, especially since he'd probably stay at Lamar for a while, as opposed to someone like Coach Fran who'd be gone in a few years.

I kind of like the idea of Coach Stump being that he is from the area and he is offensive minded.  I agree with Cola in that the money donors would go for him and that he might stay here for a while.  The local kids I feel would benefit, but would he be able to recruit other parts of Texas well enough?  I know nobody wants to rush this process, but Lamar isn't even giving us any teasers. :-X

In my opinion LU is trying to get this whole thing right.  They are not going to conduct their Head Coach search through the newspapers nor through this website - nor should they!

Do you all think stump has the job wrapped up? Here is my top ten list for he won't get it:

10. He's a high school coach

9. He's not the most qualified candidate

8. What has he really done lately?

7. He's a high school coach

6. Can he mix with the high level donors as well as the regular joe schmoes? i'm not so sure he can.

5. He wouldn't be able to bring in a top notch staff underneath him

4. his name won't attract the big dollars we need.

3. he's a high school coach

2. we need someone who has already infiltrated the college ranks and has connections and I don't mean ten years in the past.

1. HE'S  A HIGH SCHOOL COACH!!

There must be someone else??

I don't think it'll be Stump. A high school coach restarts Lamar's football would be a joke here and all

over the country. Stump will either be the assistant head coach to Jimmy or OC.

what Jimmy r u talking about?  jimmy johnson, who coach the Miami Hurricanes, and the 1993-1994 World Champion Dallas Cowboys?  u r kidding, right?

This is the hidden content, please

Stump has been the head coach at West Brook since 2005. In 2007, he won his second consecutive District 21-5A title by leading his team to a 10-1 record.

Prior to West Brook, he was the head coach at Kelly High School, also in Beaumont. Before becoming coaching in high school, Stump spent six years as an assistant for Mississippi State under his former college coach, Jackie Sherrill as well as three seasons as an assistant at Tulane.

    • Where were the 8 Omaha teams in D1's preseason top 25 poll... 2. Florida 8. A&M 9. Tennessee 13. N.C.State 14. Virginia 15. North Carolina Kentucky - unranked Florida State - unranked
    • That TDS is really flaring. Now do Biden. You have way, way, way more material. And keep that bitter "you are better than me" jealousy tone you have with Trump. You know Biden, the one you want everyone to vote for instead of Trump. Somehow you didn't acknowledge my pleas for you to die a painful death. I was quite certain that is how you would have interpreted my previous post. I guess when your focus is Trump 24/7, nothing else matters.
    • I have a better one. The point that nobody wants to acknowledge is that Dems are crossing over to vote Trump in the primaries and in the general so he will win the presidency. That way Trump will get the blame when the Dems implement their sinister plan to deport all of the minorities in the country. They have already laid the groundwork...convincing everyone that Trump and Republicans are racist (without providing any proof). Then it will be just a matter of time to execute their White supremacy plan of the great purge of the dirty, unwashed, heathen, non-Whites that roam freely in this country. I think my theory is more viable than your theory. Maybe we can get some other ridiculous scenarios so we can start a poll.
    • But that’s what Trump’s fanboys don’t understand.  When he talked about sexually assaulting women, y’all laughed it off as “locker room talk.”  When it was proven that he raped E. Jean Carroll, you cried that it was all an injustice… a lie. Even though he’d already confessed to doing the same thing to other women.  John McCain has suffered and sacrificed more for his country than practically anybody, except possible gold star families… and Trump called him a loser or something to that effect. “Oh, it was a joke that no one was supposed to take seriously.” But when Trump, after disrespecting the sacrifices of one of our most valiant, y’all are like “just because Trump didn’t go to Omaha Beach doesn’t mean he isn’t pro military!” Really? All you have to do is listen to what he said about McCain’s service. Not McCain as an opponent, not McCain’s political views… about the fact that the man was tortured, probably raped, and who knows what all else for over five years for swearing an oath and putting on the uniform.  But all of y’all supposedly “pro military” people just laughed along with Trump. “Good one, Sir! Maverick my new-hind! Filthy Rino!”  I don’t understand how the same people (y’all) who probably always say “thank you for your service” to any veteran still support a guy who craps on the ones who suffered the most on our behalf.  It’s baffling. 
    • Wow. Do you actually believe your little scenario has any chance of alleviating you of your moral immaturity? Deflection at it's best...or worse. You seem to be a sad case. If you died today, I would be remiss if not attributing your cause of death to severe TDS, and of course, Covid. Look at that. I just made a joke about your death. You did not get offended. Nobody was offended. Not one person will accuse me of being hateful towards fellow human beings. But yet, you hate Trump because he made a similar crude comment about McCain. You tried to attribute that comment as evidence Trump hates the military. What grade level of schoolchildren do you think is laughing at you for that "less that adolescent" (hint, hint) comment. You used one crude comment in an attempt to justify your TDS. Now, when called on it, you try to deflect the whole topic. You are certainly not having any fun with this, but you sure are providing entertainment for the board. It's a shame you can't join in on the fun. I think even Big Girl might be to the point of giggling at the shamelessness you are exhibiting.
