Speculate: Keenum, GB, Walrus

[Indndawg]

Will Keenum have any say-so in the Walrus' future or is that totally GB's call?

 

[Todd4State]

I suspect that he will have very little. He will probably support Byrne's decision to keep him or fire him one way or the other.

 

[MSU2006]

I think this is a great possibility, even this year. The only reason he might not do it this year is because he may feel like he hasn't been on the job long enough to make sure a huge decision for the university, but Keenum will be VERY active in athletics going forward... and he wants MSU to win badly.

And firing Croom would be a statement. I know Croom has his supporters, but I think even the most realistic person realizes that the only change that will make a difference is Croom himself. More and more people on campus are beginning to realize it, and its folks who I would never have thought jumped off his band wagon.

 

[Shmuley]

but there's not a chinaman's chance in hell he has much input into what is done with Croom this year, much less that "he fires Croom" this or ANY year.

 

[The Big Slick]

(1) Byrne may resent it and look for greener pastures.

(2) I don't want State to end with a Robert Khayat like officious meddling, jock sniffing President

 

[Indndawg]

Pres should have input but not the final say in what goes on in the AD

 

[Maroon Eagle]

...he'll likely let Byrne do his job & be the decision-maker otherwise Keenum will be criticized for being a micromanager along the lines of Foglesong.

Keenum needs to make the call for the long term health of the university. If we keep Croom another year we gonna have a black coach with a chip on his shoulder who is very prone to put his fat foot in his fat mouth and who absolutely refuses to take responsibility for his failures(2009 will be his worst year yet) face to face with an almost all white fan base who are totally tired his ********. It could get very very ugly and the uglier it gets the more it`s going to cost MSU in ways other than just money. I hope he thinks this thing through and brings this cluster17 to an end.
