Title: What's happened with Howland?
Post by: Wade for President on March 31, 2014, 08:23:25 AM
Haven't been on the boards for the last few days (and it felt GREAT).  Can someone help me understand why we haven't heard anything about Howland over the last week?

Once Shaka gave us the stiff arm, why haven't we heard any rumblings about MU moving to plan 1B?

In Howland we trust.

Yeah, heard the guy was kind of a Dick at UCLA.

It seems that Howland has a lot in common with the nick-name of a 1950's wide receiver by the name of L.G.Dupree .... "Long Gone"

And if you tell him to go pound sand you'll only be able to buy this

Haven't you people figured it out yet?

No one knows anything.

That is the best news since Buzz announced he is leaving. Thanks.

Whomever we get, I hope it is a more positive coach towards his players with less turnover.  Let's start to build a team with 3 and 4 year players with the occasional stud thrown into the mix.  Not roster turnover every couple of years.  My guess is that has something to do with why Buzz is not here anymore.

Yep.  Some folks saying or implying we've lost interest.  Some hope the other names are just a smokescreen to help keep discussions with Howland quiet until they're finalized.

I fall in the latter camp...but at this point, I wouldn't be surprised if we go with the Hologram Al idea....

Doesn't pass the sniff test.

And this is more important to the administration then anything else.

I hope you are right....  This was, is, and will be the only "impact" hire we can make right now.  And the only candidate who has the "been there, done that" t-shirt from a blue blood program and won't view us as a stepping stone.
