Eli Manning did things at QB at an exceptionally high level. He was All-SEC, All-American, and finished 3rd in the Heisman voting. He did things beyond what just a competant QB would do. He didn't just "do his job" like he was supposed to, he did it at a higher level than most.
Greg Byrne has simply been a competant AD, and nothing more. He didn't hire a coach that a retiring coach wanted, he hired the guy he wanted to hire. Thats called being competant.
He fired Croom after 4 ****** seasons out of 5 and a massive beatdown of a generation at the hands of your rival. Thats called being a competant AD. Hell, Pete Boone hired Ed Orgeron after Croom and got rid of him before Croom was let go. And Pete Boone is a 17ing moron.
He put up a big "HD-like" screen when your contract on your current small screen ended. Hell, Pete 17ing Boone did the same damn thing. And Peter Boone is a 17ing idiot.
He moved the media at the basketball games and sold sidelines seats for 6K. So did Pete Boone. And Pete Boone is a 17ing moron.
I know, I know, State fans are used to the ****** job that Templeton has done over the years. This "competant" thing is a new fad to hit Starkville with Byrne becoming the AD. But you just look like damn idiots acting like Greg Byrne has done something amazing by doing his job correctly. Every other school in the SEC sees what he has done and say "What is the big deal?"
And State fans think everybody in the SEC is afraid of the job Byrne is doing. I learned that by reading this board.
