Thank God for Jeremy Foley

I LOVE EATING CROW WHEN IT MEANS WE WIN.

Proof that you had a raging hard on for Mac. Fess up.

I was ragging PDS pretty hard. He was one extreme Fooley lover. There was a reason he pointed that at me.

It did look.good after the Ole Miss game. The one team that apparently didnt bother gameplanning for us.

Are you kidding me? I was all in after Ole Miss.

Nine days later the Grier suspension was announced and the whole thing seemingly spun out of control.

And yet, Foley still likely has free reign in the building to this day.

Mac turned me off the first time he opened his mouth, and I hadn't even noticed his teeth.

My first impression: This guy looks and talks like a refugee from the mail room not the CEO of a multi million dollar corporation. How the hell is he going to recruit against the big boys. Little did I know it was worse than that. I didn't say it on this public board. But as I recall I caught hell for my opinion on a private site.

Yep. It looked like we had a QB developing and potential. Had Grier not gotten in trouble, the program would have looked better but we now know the fundamentals were corroding quickly. (He said with20/20 hindsight.) I was late to see it, Donkey and others were early.

Guilty as well. Mac turned out to be more like Larry Coker than we ever knew.

Halitosis.

Grier played six games. He only looked good in one.

Of course he looked like he needed occasional potty training. He was a redshirt freshman in an offense bordering on lunatic fringe.

Bet you wished he'd stayed.

If he stayed there's a good chance McElshark is still our coach, and obviously that would not be a good thing.

zero chance. That team was going to look exactly like it did. When you don't recruit defense or OL, that's what happens.

And let's forget Ole Nuss....

 

[oxrageous]

I'm going to email PDS and see if I can get him back.

Yep. No matter how much Grier would have saved Mac's ass, eventually all the dysfunction would have come to the surface like pus. Mac was one big infection.

I'm sorry, but unless you are Mr. Magoo that is an impossibility. Therefor, I call shenanigans on you, sir.

 

[FireFoley]

I did not know this was from the archives so to speak, so when I saw the thread title my immediate reaction was:

 

[Swamp Donkey]

Im pretty sure PDS was one of the incompetent attorneys on Fooley's staff who wrote those contracts. His explanations of how one couldn't put covenants not to compete in an employment contract were epic.

 

[oxrageous]

I sent a bunch of emails to past members this morning asking them to return. PDS was one of them.

I've only heard back from one person: spook. He said he'd try to make time.

Grier played six games. He only looked good in one.

6 games, 6-0, 1200+ yards, 7.5 YPA 10 TDs and 3 INTs, 145.6 passer rating as a RS freshman under Mac & Nuss.

And he’s looked good since. But I won’t discount Mac’s & Nuss’ capacity to have ruined him by craptastic coaching, leadership and poor recruiting around him. The more Grier played well the longer Mac’s facade would have endured.
