We finish 8-10 in the SEC...

You can always count on Ray for one thing. While he struggles with game prep, or in game coaching, or recruiting, he has always excelled at telling everyone just how hard his job is.

Best post in the thread. Kudos to Faust for hitting the nail on the head in 50 words or less.

Absolutely not.

Let's let it play out and see where we're at at the end of the year. I'd consider 8-10 a push. Maybe a 1 yr extension so that he never enters "the last year" of his contract and doesn't mess up recruiting. We need Simonds to have some level of assurance he'll be here at least until he signs in November.

It's still not beyond the realm of possibility that he makes it to 9-9 or even 10-8 this year. I'm not giving up yet because we laid an egg in a place we are 5-20 all-time. The margin for error is razor thin though -- and the way we've crumbled down the stretch the last two years gives me pause. We'll know alot more in about an hour...

He will be here 1 more year, however...I really thought we had turned the corner after Tenn. Then the Ark debacle, I was kinda hoping it would be an outlier....then tonight, right back to the same ****. I've been a Rick Ray supporter from the beginning, as I wanted Stans gone long before he was fired...but the continual turnovers and lack of offensive game plan has left me wanting to wave the white flag, I was wrong in thinking Rick Ray was an offensive competent coach. Personally, I could care less either way at this point, it can't get much worse, as far as our standards go. I just don't believe our Athletic Debt will jerk the rug out, especially with those Jr's all returning next year. His best chance to win +10 Sec games will be next season. Give him a fairly high cieling before the season and let him dictate his fate.

Only if he lands Newman. My criteria hasn't changed: winning record or Newman.

you can forget either one of those..Richard Cross has already stated...NOT A CHANCE, MALIK GOES TO MISSISSIPPI STATE.

would you - as AD - give Ray a 1 year extension?

Sly Croom say yes.
