You may be quoting me, but you apparently forgot to read it.

I clearly stated that he may be looking at a succession of one year deals, which means more than one. You need to go back and re-read that one

Your obscession with assuming that those who disagree with you are somehow inferior to you logically is actually tripping you up and making you look silly.

This is actually a response to HAIZE.

Oh I know I look silly, remember I have to see me in the mirror everyday. I did re read your post and you only mentioned the multiple one year deals after saying he would have to get a one year deal only after winning several more BSC titles.
And just because you disagree with me makes anyone either inferior or me superior in intellect. (Unless you are SCAR, he is truly a mental GIANT, not so much SMOOTH :D ) Perhaps there are some unresolved issues of acceptance and belonging that you need to address? If so, I have some stuff that will help you with that! :D

Don't sweat it. We're cool.

No thanks. I'll pass on that "stuff" :)

As far as the names you mentioned there go, I'm the clearly best lookin' and that's all I care about :wink:

Good grief. I haven't read this much since the screen play came out.
I guess to sum this up
RD is gone unless he wins this year? And how did football workinto this again.

I just read a few of these, and now I know you guys are screwed up.

Go Flames and RD!

I laugh out loud every time I see this thread. You can bet RD will be in contact with a Real Estate agent in the near future.

Dunton's future is really in the hands of the AD and the Chancellor.

The preseason consensous outlook for this team was to finish somewhere between fourth or fifth in the conference. That's probally where this team will finish, however, if LU gets hot down the stretch, there is still a chance that they could grab the 3 or even the 2 seed.

The expectations of those whom Dunton is answerable to are unknown, however, if their expectations are anywhere near the consensous of the big south coaching poll or the major publications, then it is quite possible that LU's administrator's are not nearly as impatient as some on this board would have them to be.

Granted, as fans, it's only fun when ya win, and most of us on this board were expecting a higher level of success at this stage of the season. And, like it or not, Dunton's fate will certainly not be determined on a message board.

My sense is that if this team finishes somewhere near the expectations of the AD and the Chancellor, and if the outlook is good in terms of retaining key players and new recruits, then he stays on and is given the opportunity to after another big south title next season, and if we retain Brew, Bannister, Smith, Mclean, Winters, the 7'1 Nigerian, the kid from Hargrave, Holland, Jenkins, ect.--then we may very well be the consensous preseason pick to win the big south title next season, especially with Martin and Bradshaw graduating from WU, and if Marshall wins in the NCAA's, he may move on as well.

So, if the outlook going into next season is promising, then I'm inclined to think that he stays.

Bartender,

Thanks,

Here's the bottom line.

Dunton has proven that he can rebuild a team because he did it back in '04; Dunton has proven that he can win the Big South tournament because he did it back in '04.

If our adminstration feels that the pieces that we have coming in will fit together and LU looks like a real contender for the Big South title next season, then Dunton stays. For all we know, that may have been the administrative perspective all along.

Pair of Sox,

You are stuck in reverse, tired of backing up yet? I gotta give it to you though, takes guts to show up here every day when you haven't been right about anything yet. I think you hold the world record for using the word "if" on a message board. Have a good one man. :D

maybe a record for using rebuild... for every single team for 5 years??

Again, it really is of no consequence what anyone thinks on a message board concerning a certain coach.

The last time I checked, the only two opinions that really matter, haven't posted anything on this message board.

Coaches coach, adminstrators administrate, and fans cheer and boo, and sometimes write on message boards.

I would expect you to feel that way. Afterall, were you not the poster who suggested that former Lady Flame Rick Reeves be considered as a replacement? I'd prefer Pat Summit myself. She's won more titles :wink:

I didn't think it was Flameshaw... and this backs that up...

btw, I'm not really sure if Randy and Rick have kept in touch, but do you really think Coach D would appove of everyone making fun of Rick in the name of defending him?

For those of you who don't know, Reeves was our women's coach before Coach Green and had tremendous suceess here and loved Liberty. His only problem was that his team was so successful that it made the men's team look bad in comparison.
Coach Reeves is very happy at GW with our former AD Chuck Burch, he isn't going any where any time soon.

Yea, I think that Dunton would appreciate the humor in that one. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if Reeves himself found this to be very amusing.

Pat Summit and FSN, not amused

Marshall ain't going anywhere, just ask College of Charleston. There's no way that he would leave, just as there is no way that any team will hire him after last year's debacle.

By that logic, I have proven I could be 30 pounds lighter, have a girlfriend, and play in a band because back in 04, I was doing all of that. I haven't done any of it sense.

Wrong again as has already been posted. If fact, I think the idea is absurd for many reasons, but instead of going through all of that, I just said he is happy at GW. Hey maybe he can join Rick at GW? :D

Thank you for finally making that clear, however, you did seem supportive of the idea in your orginal post.
