He seems like a fine candidate but why do I keep thinking about Tom Buning when he was AD? I know, different people and different positions but still from a military academy.
I remember the radio guys said even before the coin toss that if we won, Bubba was going to take the ball. Something about Bubba wanted to show that we are coming out with all guns blazing and wanting to look aggressive. Actually I think it worked too, I think we scored on the opening drive.
Bubba won in the early years with Mussman's players. Now he doesn't have those guys and can't get it done. And I agree, if you are going to make the change, let everyone go and start fresh. Might make things a little worse early on but in the long run it's the only way. Fire every last one and then replace with the right guys.
Bubba gets what, $190,000 a year? Two years left, can we afford the buyout, especially if he doesn't get a very high paying job when he's done here? IMO it would be worth it to us, but Chaves may think otherwise, he has to find the money.
