It's time

to get rid of him, if anyone will take him. He's done.

looks like coach cal will have to hook him up again.

Speaking of Cal, here is an interesting article about him and Coach Ray:

Sounds like the same crap that was said when Croom was coach.

 

[Seinfeld]

Yes, it's one thing to have respect for a fellow coach, but when you start reading comments about how competitors like your coach, it's rarely a good sign.

You don't see too many other SEC coaches singing the praises of Dan Mullen, John Cohen or Vic Schaefer. Or of Rick Stansbury back when he was going to the NCAA tournament every year.

Sounds like the same crap that was said when Croom was coach.

If I starting hearing "these guys have to be mentally tough," I'll start puking.

"I just think he sees a young guy (Ray is 44) trying to do things the right way. That's been thrown into a difficult situation. I'd like to think, more so than anything, he likes the way I've handled business over here. I think he appreciates that we play hard."

 

[kired]

Cal didn't really say much in the article. It was more Ray talking about how Cal treated him. What else can be said when your team sucks for 3 years straight other than they "play hard"?

But when other coaches start defending the fact that Ray is on the hotseat for losing 2 out of every 3 games - he's gotta go.

One of the great urban legends that is being perpetuated about the Ray era is that in his second year he only had seven scholarship players.

I don't care that Applewhite left. He started the year with you, so he counts. He counts as much as Davis did, who was not good. In addition he made what I still think was a bad decision to redshirt Daniels who was eligible last year mid-season. So in reality he had nine guys last year, eight if you insist on not counting Applewhite.
