I haven't been critical of his coaching skills, he hasn't shown anyone anything.
I am being critical of his personality and if his coaching is anything like it, the play calling is going to be dull and not exciting.
I don't feel particularly motivated to buy season tickets, despite he being the one asking me. No fire, no energy.
That's really it...but for some reason, some people seem to be offended like I took a steamy dump on their living room floor.
I suggest your opinion has no depth! You don’t know the coach and judging someone on a small sample of observed behavior is neither warranted or fair! Your comment was unnecessary!
We have hired a coach with no previous head coaching experience. In the last 30 years, we have hired only two coaches with no head coaching experience at any level. Bob Pruett was a very successful high school head coach in the very competitive Northern Virginia high school area. He moved up to better schools in NOVA due his success.
The question facing us is Gibson the next Mark Snyder or Jim Donnan? Time will tell.

Unless someone knows differently, don’t believe Coach G had the head of a Women’s clothing store chain pushing him for the head football coaching position at MU like the Tan Man had!!
Does anybody know the exact amount of $$$ the Herd is getting for an August afternoon of Sun n Fun down in Gawjuh??
That's the reality...listen to an idiot who has no insight into sports and get what we got with Snyder, or risk losing their donations.
I have no firsthand knowledge about how much influence this individual had in selecting Snyder. I would imagine there is an element of truth in the suggestion. I'm reasonably sure there were other reasons. Pruett was an excellent coach and I can imagine folks liking the idea of hiring another former football player, Marshall graduate to follow him. I doubt we hired him solely to keep her donation. Also doubt she is an "Idiot". She has done quite well.
I may be wrong, but I recall hearing she was basically willing to pay his salary if we hired him. I could be wrong but if not his whole salary, a good amount of it.
That carries quite a bit of bargaining power.
Now why him specifically? Not sure...Pruett left MU in a worse state than he found it in.
You can do quite well as a wealthy person, and be a complete moron as an administrator for a team...see Jerry Jones or Dan Snyder.
I would even venture to say, wealthy idiots are why college football is the way it is...just tossing money at programs with no clue of the logistics behind sports itself.
I suspect you’re referring to the timing of his “retirement.” Otherwise, not sure many on here would agree that his overall tenure (5 titles, 2 Heisman finalists & BL; the # of wins)
left us in a worse state than the Donnan era).
Yes, I was referring to his retirement. MU got slammed with violations and he claimed to have retired, only to help out at Virginia for like 2 seasons.
As a HC, legendary and put MU on the map, but I question his character for how he left MU the way he did.
