Not sure how to take all of this. I know I m pro PhilliesHis name is Sluggo72, not Sluggish 72.
He also didn’t say what you claim he did. He said there are more on the board that are anti Spears than who are pro Spears.
I’m anti Philadelphia Phillies, but they’re doing a hell of a job. So I am anti them but approve of what they’re doing. Similarly, I can approve of the job that somebody is doing but still be against them.
It would be extremely helpful if you could describe your dislike of Spears in behavioral terms. What does "Feckless bureaucrat" mean?Not sure how to take all of this. I know I m pro Phillies
OTOH I know CS is a feckless bureaucrat
You’ll will see that soon enough
What else u want to know?
Probably because they aren’t over budgetI don’t know, ask JMU why they fly to Huntington
Oh I forgot about that MU was looking to fire him two weeks in for lying on his resume. They had all the receipts as they say. But Gilbert was on his way out as were others so they decided not to mess w itDid you walk in on Spears and your wife or did somebody tell you about it?
I do not know the reasons for any of the above actions. How do you know them? Unless you were a fly on the wall or standing in the room when these things were discussed or decided, then you are getting your information from second or third hand sources. Before ranting, verification of your sources would be in order and would give your comments much more credibility.Well here’s a start
feckless /fĕk′lĭs/
adjective
Well that’s a pretty good start
- Careless and irresponsible.
- Feeble or ineffective.
- Spiritless, weak, worthless
Read this article. Spears has to share the limelight w Waggoner when talking about the new baseball stadium. Spears hates sharing the limelight w people, he quickly realized that a new stadium would put Wags in the spotlight and not him. He fired Wags
He fires the women’s soccer coach. I mean who fires a women’s soccer coach when the programs does not have any NCAA problems or academic problems.
He fired the T&F coach for no reason, the team actually was doing very well
Spears did mumble something about living out of state ( you know across the river in Ohio like many other MU employees)
When he does have to do something like w Football or Basketball he lets Brad do the heavy lifting
The only thing positive was WBB , which basically dropped in his lap, and only because he double to tripled the salary and staff
And now we start over
MU athletics budget is a complete mess.
FB has massive over runs ( I mean who flies to Harrisonburg VA)
Baseball stadium over budget. They tried to hide that w the concession revenue
What else u want to know

Who are they. If they are the employees involved, then maybe we are dealing with sour grapes.my sources are all solid. all from people in the room/s

I didn’t make the out of state comment spears did.What article are you referencing with Waggoner?
A lot of assumptions and no proof with that.
So your level success is not for the Olympic sports is not getting in academic or NCAA trouble and not actual success?
There it is the reason for your hate, he fired your buddy at the T&F.
Who cares if he lives in Ohio? You even mention other Marshall employees live there. Dumb comment
I mean you kept going on and on that the football coach and men's basketball coach report directly to the President of Marshall, so what do you expect him to do?
Kemper made $168,000 his last year as the coach and Kim made $200,000 as her base salary. Seems like a good investment of a coach that was a national champion to get her to come here.
Below is Kemper's salary his last full year at Marshall.

You also do realize that the NCAA approved the increase of two additional coaches the same year/season that Kim took over as well. Thus the increase of coaches came from NCAA changes, not specifically from Spears.

NCAA Division I Council modernizes rules for coaching limits
The Division I Council took steps to modernize a number of rules Wednesday, including approving adjustments to transfer waiver guidelines, modifying personnel rules across several sports and formally eliminating the requirement for standardized test scores in initial eligibility. The Council met...www.ncaa.com
And you are penalizing this regime of having to "start over" after Kim won and gave us a good buyout for further investment of the women's basketball program?
How is the sports budget a complete mess? Actual data source on that, not just an open baseless comment.
Again, what is the massive over run from the football team. What is the number and the data reference?
Seems if JMU flies here for a football game, we are following conference mate's example for travel.
How much is/was the baseball over budget from a capital investment?
And how can you hide it from concession revenue? Doesn't Marshall not have a general agreement for food and drinks from the same supplier for football and basketball? How much is Marshall making from just baseball concession, where is the data?
And it is kind of hard to take someone serious that types all that drivel and uses "u" instead of typing it out.
Spill it, what did he lie about on his resume?
Not a hater or fan of Spears, but quit making slandering comments, because he fired your track and field buddy.
I didn’t make the out of state comment spears did.
This is silly. It does not take "sources" or "data" or whatever to form an OPINION on CS.
The opinion of most who care about MU is that this career #2 man has done a very bad job. Relative to men's basketball, relative to football, relative to baseball, and relative to women's soccer. And most importantly, relative to the budget, which is a mess. Facts.
He made a solid hire at women's basketball, and men's soccer is on auto pilot. Other than that, nothing.
Fire CS.
Our budget has always been dicey. The baseball point is hilarious. Your buddy totally ****ed up the process initially with a poor bid and cost process. And on a site that most knew wasn't good.Well here’s a start

What else u want to know
No stories made up. Just some information plus some logic.Well I know one thing:
It appears sluggish72 misread the room when he stated that “more people want him fired than support him” was way off the mark. As usual, he doesn’t know what he’s talking about, and, other than sluggish & Sam, very few others agree. Yes over No by 2-1 margin. And no need to make up a story using 2nd, 3rd, or plain imaginary sources!
Chew on your mistake……
Yet you offer nothing but speculation. You've been asked multiple times to provide and facts to back up your claims but you CANT.No stories made up. Just some information plus some logic.
It’s easy when dealing w a feckless bureaucrat
His ego is written checks his abilities can’t cash
How does one provide facts of conversations they have had w others?Yet you offer nothing but speculation. You've been asked multiple times to provide and facts to back up your claims but you CANT.
You claim our budgets are a mess where are you getting numbers. Surely the people you "talk" with offer more than simple explanations for what they are claiming.How does one provide facts of conversations they have had w others?
The Waggoner firing is follow the dots. Newspaper quotes Wags more then Spears, Spears ego can’t take it, needs the limelight on him, so fires him. I mean what AD fires a baseball coach in the middle of Oct? SMH
You must have missed the HC going to the Nike portal to order equipment but Nike had them cut off. They hadn’t paid their bill for 2 yrs. Oh well I guess it got straightened out Nike brought them back but only after they shut MU down. Which is almost unheard of.You claim our budgets are a mess where are you getting numbers. Surely the people you "talk" with offer more than simple explanations for what they are claiming.
Many times on this board, people have mentioned that it was time for Waggoner to leave due to off-the-field issues. How come you never asked for specifics about those claims but you are asking/questioning the validity of comments about Spears?Yet you offer nothing but speculation. You've been asked multiple times to provide and facts to back up your claims but you CANT.
Facts and description of observed behaviors are needed to form an accurate opinion, not angry rants!!This is silly. It does not take "sources" or "data" or whatever to form an OPINION on CS.

As Pilate said to Jesus:Truth is an absolute defense to libel.
All the "proof" one needs is clearly on the field, court, course, etc.
But there has been zero truth, just mud slinging hoping it sticks.Truth is an absolute defense to libel.
All the "proof" one needs is clearly on the field, court, course, etc.
see above Lets face it, Spears only needs 1 no vote to be gone.If this is how I sounded when I said Huggs interviewed for MU, and honestly that is what I heard, then whoa, I looked dumb.
Sorry guys...my bad. Guess I was wrong.
I doubt Sluggo can muster the courage to admit he's wrong in a good number of, if not all things he has said:
So Spears fires Waggs because an article, taking about the baseball field, has Waggs quoted more...and somehow this angered Spears enough to fire him? Wags was still around in Sept, there is a link to the article where they quote him (behind the pay wall), by Oct he is fired? why? I conclude its Ego on CS part. Remember the 5th largest Scoreboard in the NCAA?
He fired the other coaches because they...were not winning games, which is what they're paid to do? Womens Soceer went 7-9 and were building . T&F had one of their best years ever
He doesn't deal with football or basketball because...the MU president does that? How? I didn't know Brad Smith is going to be doing the hiring for coaches? True the FB coach and the MBB coach answer to the President not the AD, and they have since at least BP. CS job is to get Huff his coffee in the AM
Coach Caldwell "fell into his lap"? You mean he went out and did EXACTLY what Hamrick did with Coach Grassie, hiring a proven HC and winner from a lower division? lucky we needed at coach just when she was winning a DII natty and from WV.
"Now we start over" you mean the exact scenario everyone is fine with? Where MU wins a conference title and the HC gets hired away and MU becomes a hot ticket for a new HC? Now we are into the DIII experiment
I don't even know where to start with the over budget of the baseball field or concessions as they make no sense, much like your irrational hatred for this person. at least $100,000 he tried to shake down Sodex for a $100,00 just so they could sell hotdogs at the new stadium, they laughed.
You're basically putting a personality with someone, that hasn't been shown to even exist, and stating it as a driving force behind his actions, defending it as a fact.
You haven't provided ANY written proof of these ideas...no articles, no other quotes from credible sources, nothing but "connect the dots." why did Wags get fired?
If Spears gave any damn about you, I'd tread lightly because you're flirting with Libel at this point considering your statements are pretty damning.
Lucky for you, he likely could care less because of how dumb your statements are and how little of importance you serve.
Although it would be funny to see you publicly trying to prove this garbage with you fumbling papers out of a briefcase looking like George Bailey when he's on the bridge.

Well, yes. Some people get it. Some don't. Some people sit around at 70 and say "if I had invested my money in Wal-Mart back in 82..." and some people invested their money in Wal-Mart back in 82. Likewise, some fanbases will enjoy the next era, and we will have CS.Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and each of us subjectively observes with our own built-in prejudices and bias.
And MU continues to disappoint.Meanwhile, the earth rotates around the sun….
