I said to myself the other day, some of us here are notoriously temperamental and may be a little quick to want to pull the plug. But when people like you and SQ are bailing, it says a lot.
I still wonder how much of the disdain for JM stems from the hangover of 2010-'14, which isn't entirely fair. But regardless, it's a problem for him.
For me, I was not overly excited when he was first hired, but wanted to give him a chance. East titles? Glad to have them, but in the overall scheme they're like winning a cake at the Halloween carnival. Getting our @ss beat at the end of seasons 1 and 2 by F$U and Bama, offensive futility from a guy who essentially guaranteed otherwise, staff issues, player issues, recruiting concerns, game management problems, and his latest "death threats" debacle have made it clear that he lacks proper concern and attention to necessary details and cannot handle criticism, constructive or otherwise. The guy's an aluminum siding salesman (with apologies to contractors and building professionals). He comes in and ********s his way to a deal to revitalize the community, gets paid big upfront, ****s up several homes, then finds a way to get out of town without completing the job or repairs. He isn't the guy for this position and truthfully, never was. He needs to be gone as soon as possible in my opinion and Stricklin needs to make sure we get a quality guy this time.
C2, when you start calling him "Butters" we'll know the end is near....
"Butters" is too kind for what I'm thinking about him and the job he's done. Speaking toward the "death threats" and how he brought up and managed this mess, I find it extremely difficult to believe that there were actually credible threats; more likely, as others have opined, there were some social media barbs that either his mind ran away with or he used to try and elicit sympathy or to deflect criticism of his deficiencies. His ego, to me, is inflated yet fragile, but also compromised by his insecurity and a need to be petted and fawned over excessively. Instead of bowing his back in the face of adversity, he's looking for excuses. Get him out of here before he ****s something else up and does even more damage. Hire a grown man with a backbone that'll get the job done.
