My take on former military higher ups is they are used to giving orders and expecting people to jump. They don't look at all sides and sometimes they don't understand compromise when it's needed. Someone already said Armacost was thin skinned, coming from a co worker apparently. We don't need someone that's too demanding. Yes, Tom Buning is a prime example, but also remember Gene Taylor at NDSU. He was ex Naval Academy and look how overbearing and dictatorial he was often times.

I intend to take a wait and see attitude with Armacost. I'm just not excited about ex military guys, they often seem like they are a bad fit. Hopefully I get proven wrong.

Naw, I'm pretty sure it was Dom Izzo that said that.

You can bet Chaves put in a bid. If he didn't, we'll be looking for a new AD Sunday afternoon. No way he didn't though, I just hope we get in.

I don't think there ever was one. Too militaristic.

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 have a feeling Nichols was added to the list for some token diversity appeal. Not that I find anything wrong with her.

If I'm not mistaken we both move on. Give me Senden for Sat.

JBD for me.

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.

Looks like I move on. Give me Blaisdell for Sat.

Tell that to stock dam.

So now Bubba is Mr. Stud Recruiter? Then why can't he make the playoffs with all those outstanding players? I'll hang up and listen.

Quoting for truth. It can't be said enough, Bubba simply can't recruit. I'm not sure anyone on this staff can recruit for that matter.

Translation: Bubba meant that this game is "very important to my future employment".

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.
