All those clamoring for Jay Hill just sit back and watch John Hartwell go to work. There should be very little turnover in coaching, and we’ll have one of the few openings. He can take his time and find the right guy. I trust him more than I hiring Jay Hill.
This is exactly right. I love Jay Hill and think he would do a great job but quite frankly there's not going to be a lot of job openings this year and so maybe you might get a chance at an up-and-coming coordinator or other coach that you may not have gotten to take a look at based on the number of openings. One thing is for certain Hartwell needs to be the man making this decision I realized boosters will have some sort of say but he hired a great coach and Coach Smith we should let him have the full range to do his job.

Lastly I just want to thank coach Anderson for what he did for our program he did so much the first time around growing that program and getting it turned around I will always be grateful for him. This time around obviously has been bad but I do respect Gary, yes people say he is a quitter and while that may be true sometimes you know yourself well enough and you know when to walk away.
Thank you for putting it this way. This is how I prefer to put it.

Sorry you were dead wrong on this, YBA. Those of us who actually really know about football knew how bad it was.

Shocked among other things.
Dang. How are they feeling? Sad, happy, disappointed?
Not any of those things

Well you spent years wanting Wells fired to bring back Gary was showing he was a terrible coach at Oregon State. Sorry we cant all be experts like you, but we were right about Gary.
Yeah, Saint (I can't express myself without swearing) Wells that did so well with player development and is clearly kicking all kinds of (I can't express myself without swearing) at Texas Tech right now definitely didn't deserve the scorn. EABOD.

He is doing better at Texas Tech than Gary did at Oregon State and his 6 years at USU were better than Gary's 6 years.

Did Wells deserve criticism? Sure. Did he deserve to be fired? Maybe if USU had a great coach lined up you make that move after 2016, but that coach certainly shouldn't have been Gary Andersen. Gary proved he wasn't a good coach at Oregon State.

This was probably for the best. I think we also need to move on from Reeder as well.

I will ask this question, what if Gary were to be on the next staff as a coordinator or position coach? He’s a great recruiter and could still be an asset to the program.

I agree. But you can’t keep the old boss and bring in a new boss in most cases.

I agree completely. I fully trust Hartwell. I just think in the end he’ll come to the conclusion Jay Hill is that guy.

Gary has a really great defensive mind and would do great as a defensive line coach but in no way can you keep him on the staff and bring in a new coach that would be a disaster.

Sounds like maybe some split feelings. Shaq Bond doesn't seem too happy about it based on his tweets. But it looks like at least one of our receivers might welcome it (if I'm reading the room correctly).

Yes, "effort" and "attitude" were the issue; not scheme and talent. I hope they give you a good look for the opening, Roy. Your ability to quantify and measure effort are revolutionary to the game. Roy's bull (I can't express myself without swearing), the biggest thing since the forward pass.

Hey, remember that post where you said everything I said was “wrong,” but in fact, literally everything factual I said was 100% right on and my prediction on Shelley was also 100% right on?

How’s that crow tasting?

Too bad Morgan Scalley was so dumb a while ago. Now I expect Jay Hill, assuming he's successful, will be a 4 year rental until Whitt retires.
Bring it on. I’m done with the thinking of getting someone that wants to be here long term. We thought we had that with Stew and even it did not end well. I think for a coach to be really successful you either need to be winning with the hope of getting a bigger job or are in a position you think you can compete for a national title.

Let's not forget we are all Aggies here. Being wrong is a condition of being human. No need to rub it in others faces that they were wrong, even if we feel they deserve it. I recommend breathing exercises and meditation along with a celebration that we have a great AD that did the right thing.

Reeder 100% won't be at USU next year. Maile probably won't be either.

And Gary won't be an assistant at USU and certainly wasn't a good recruiter in his limited time back at the school. We had terribly ranked recruiting class this past year. You can say recruiting rankings aren't everything and that is true, but there aren't many of those guys that stand out as hopefuls for the future. At least not through 3 games.

Yeah the "let's find a guy who will be here longterm" is the absolute worst reason to look to hire a coach. Yes, we got lucky with Stew, but that is the exception not the rule. I am sure Mick Dennehy would have stayed at USU for 20 years if we let him. Just find a guy who can win, end of story.

This was probably for the best. I think we also need to move on from Reeder as well.

I will ask this question, what if Gary were to be on the next staff as a coordinator or position coach? He’s a great recruiter and could still be an asset to the program.
Reeder 100% won't be at USU next year. Maile probably won't be either.

And Gary won't be an assistant at USU and certainly wasn't a good recruiter in his limited time back at the school. We had terribly ranked recruiting class this past year. You can say recruiting rankings aren't everything and that is true, but there aren't many of those guys that stand out as hopefuls for the future. At least not through 3 games.
You sure?! I would think keeping FM would be too priority. Who else will coach the team until next year?

I think we’ll see in a couple of years how well his recruiting class turns out. I do like AJV.

First the Miller's selling the Jazz, now this. Thought he would at least make it to the end of the season.

Does that mean we have to wait 3 more years to let a new coach rebuild?
Honestly, it will probably take some time for us to rebuild. We are pretty freaking awful right now.
We seem incredibly undersized. We've looked like a 6A high school team playing a D1 team the first three weeks at many positions. Putting our 240-250 pound short DL guys up against the 6'5"-6'7," 310 lb offensive linemen we have seen and will continue to see this season sets us up to fail at the line every game. We're similarly mismatched in many other positions with some exceptions. Seems like a problem that will take a few years to solve.

Let's not forget we are all Aggies here. Being wrong is a condition of being human. No need to rub it in others faces that they were wrong, even if we feel they deserve it. I recommend breathing exercises and meditation along with a celebration that we have a great AD that did the right thing.
I’m normally 100% with you on this. I’ve definitely been wrong on many occasions. But YBA goes a bit beyond the pale in how he interacts with people, so deserves to get called to the carpet here, IMO.

Tell you what, next time I want your opinion, I'll save myself the trouble of reaching out and just listen to what a turd sounds like when it hits the water. Feel free to PM me anytime you want to set up a meetup. I'll recognize you from the incessant whining, no need to send a picture.

Now that Gary 2.0 is over my three biggest takeaways are:

1. Gary 2.0 won’t take away from Gary 1.0’s success. He brought out program out of the darkness. He’ll always be an Aggie Legend in my eyes.

2. I 100% trust John Hartwell with the next hire. He brought us Craig Smith. That’s all I need to know.

3. I hope Frank Maile gets a shot as an the Interim HC

I'm sure it'll get worse. Since this year doesn't count, the whole team could up and leave immediately. We better hope enough like it here or we may not field a team next weekend...or next year. This could destroy USU football as we know it simply because of a virus changing the rules for a season. You DON'T have time to just sit back and evaluate candidates at this time. They need to move now.

I actually think our Dline has good potential and at times has been pretty good. (Unlike our Oline) Our problem is our LBers. In our scheme they have to be really good, fast, athletic and other than AJ we got nothing.

Talk about a news dump at the right time. Hartwell waiting till Biden is declared the winner to drop the bomb.
