I have followed a great deal of your posting history in this thread, including your replies to me.

You actually acknowledged it. I wasn't trying to be sly. I'm glad you caught it.

PS: Thank you for your service. Was there a head injury involved?

okay...many of us are emotionally invested into the subject and our own views. Occasionally we say things we don't really mean. That comment is out-of-bounds. So, let's move on out of that.

THIS!!!

Just for this quote he deserves to be our HC.

The guy is a boss for saying that...let's hope that he is in discussions with us and not Auburn.
What I fear is:
We go all in for Jimbo.
Jimbo wants Auburn.
Auburn hires Strong.
Jimbo decides to stay at FSU.
We're effed...

It's a shame you don't know true honor and sacrafice. Anyone with half a brain wouldn't make a comment about head injury for anyone who has served in a war while you were at home in your snuggie sipping coco.

See my response above.

Present yourself in a better manner before lecturing someone on honor.

Those are the facts on what seem to be the top candidates that could reasonably be hired. There are other intangible factors to consider as well, but these are their coaching histories.
Explain to me how exactly that strong is leading the polls as our next coach.
If u take out the KKK guys and the NAACP guys then i would think most people would say he shoul be around 4th or 5th choice based on results.

Why the line about the KKK and NAACP? Some of us here may just think Strong would be the best candidate and we have no affiliations or interests in those organizations.

I'm not emotionally invested in either side of the equation. I was pointing out that he isn't representing our armed forces very well.

I apologize if it offended you.

My family is military veterans. The head injury comment was giving our armed forces the benefit of the doubt. It's scary to think that they would arm someone as immature as him and send him oversees to represent us. The alternative is to think that his personality came after enlisting.

Be offended if you must.

You calling someone immature after making a comment like that. I don't know what comments he may have made to you, however at least he did go overseas, if that's the case. What have you done besides insulting service members who have been wounded in combat. Tells me all I need to know about you sir. Have a good day.

So he is not talking to anyone about coaching rumors yet he says he hasnt talked to UT? I find it hard to believe he has not talked to UT/AR/AU all 3. I have a feeling that he ends up somewhere other than UL next year. I doubt he goes to AU with the NCAA probing. So I think thats leaves AR and UT.

Agreed.

I know he denied the Auburn rumors...didn't see where he denied talking to us?

I always love the Real Fans statement...lol....just bc I dont support a candidate and I am tired of blindly following someone until they burn me, does not mean I am not a real fan....smh....if he is hired and gets here and wins the East...I will support him...until that I will not....

So am I to understand that until he comes here and wins, you will not support him? That has to be one of the dumbest things I have ever heard. Not sure why anyone would not pull for the new coach until they start winning.

Would you support Gruden, Fisher, or Gundy before they started winning?

I'm pretty sure who ever is named HC will be supported by fans. Everyone seems to have a coach that they want and a coach they do not want.

Most of us just want to get back to winning SEC games.

If you read Strong's quotes it is obvious he plans to coaching somewhere besides Louisville next season. I think it likely UT. If not, I think he lands in Arkansas.

Could be. What happened to the Petersen to Arky on Tuesday?

I'll be happy when this search is over.

Don't know if he has or not, but that ignorant comment you made insulted anyone who may have been wounded in combat. The fact that you asked him if he received an head injury shows what your perceived view is of anyone who has.

Again, I apologize for offending you.

Im just saying if there are no racial issue - either for or against, then I really dont see how his record or name would in anyway be better than anybody else we are considering. What does he offer in real results? Not feelings or unknown potential? From what ive researched his win/loss record is less than 65% and he has not recruited exceptionally well either. Facts......just facts. Yall dont ever put up facts because they dont support your enthusiasm over this guy. Lets see the damn facts that he has acquired on his own......not riding the coat tails of great programs with great HC's like UF or USC.
