Let that sink in for a moment.And this good business to keep Gill means we have his incompetence to look forward to again next year. Depressing!
And it’s good business to keep Gill and some of the staff for next season? We couldn’t even make a field goal to a team who wasn’t really trying.

Class of 20Something wrote:If Ian makes the decision to fire Gill, does he wait until after the early signing period?I don’t see it happening since Jerry likes Gill. I want to believe McCaw could do his job on this one, but Jerry seems to be too involved when it comes to sports.

*edit: when you know you’re going to fire the coach after the kid signed.

Purple Haize wrote:Was it too big a moment too soon for the program?It made us see that McCaw can get big programs to play in a few months with some help. Hopefully Jerry will get a reality check of his pride and let McCaw do what he does best. Reason why Baylor improved several programs who are still dominant right now(no need to bring up the football situation; I get it).
