For my first post, I will just say PM needs to do the right thing and submit his resignation first thing Monday morning. This is beyond embarrassing...
He has to resign because the 3.4 million dollar man will not eat the rest of PM's contract by firing him. What recruit will ever come to Columbia while PM is here?
More inane comments from Mango in today's Spec article. Glad that he thinks it is very valuable for freshmen to get snaps during a varsity game. I am tired of watching Mango treat games like a practice session.
The state of the program is beyond embarrassing. Maybe two of our players would be starters on other teams in the league.
But the season is over and it is time to get back to the important things like ensuring the players keep their weight down.
The complete dishonesty of Bollinger is the problem. He's using the Rick Taylor review to extend his apathy and disdain toward the Light Blue and White. This is another Bollinger charade. He tells the world, and Mangurian--who's lost 21 in a row--that Mangurian will coach in 2015 and perhaps beyond.
His toadies then tell us a coach can't be hired until a new AD is in place. And who allowed Murphy to keep the AD title and salary for another futile year after she "resigned"?
It's another flim-flam for the rubes. Let Murphy extend the disaster and receive another year's salary, and keep Mangurian in place while Taylor does his review.
And what good can that review do? If Taylor thinks Mangurian should be fired, he 's already been told, as we have, that it isn't going to happen.
What is really going on? Is Taylor party to the charade? A disgraceful end to football at Columbia is imminent, thanks to our esteemed President. What coach es and players will want to leap aboard the ship that Bollinger is sinking?? He should tell us right now what he thinks of this charade he's signing on to. And where is Rick Taylor
Here are the facts of life, as explained to me by an administration insider. First, there is a search underway right now by a respected search firm ( not Ted G's firm) for an AD with a strong football background. Second, no good candidate for the HC job will talk seriously to us until the new AD is in place. Third, Rick Taylor will not pull his punches. Fourth, eating two years of PM's contract is not the reason for keeping PM for the time being. Fifth, if Taylor and the new AD (hopefully the new AD will be in place in the January/February time frame) conclude that we cannot go into another season with PM he will be replaced. Sixth, the administration recognizes that our coordinators have been substandard and are committed to a substantial and competitive package for the new coordinators. Finally, Bollinger is personally committed to fixing football before he leaves Columbia.
Old Lion, I don't doubt your good intentions but we all have been hearing the dish from insiders "in the know' for decades and it's usually pure BS. I'll believe it when I see it. In Bollinger's very first year, during a stroll through the stands at a game, he said to my face that he would fix the football problem. That was 12 years ago. I'm sure he said the same to many others that day and later.
Don't your information and what Bollinger declared the other day clash badly? He definitely said PM is coaching next season, plus some vague stuff about getting some assistance from Taylor's work (and maybe some tips on how to coach) and that PM might improve things during the 2015 season.
That doesn't jibe with your info that if Taylor and the new AD say so, Pete is gone.
Why would Bollinger say one thing and mean the other? Why say anything now like those two possibilities? Why not just say the new AD and Taylor will review the entire program and then decisions will be made?
Sounds like the usual smoke screen from Bollinger for doing nothing.
I didn't reas that PM is definitely here next season, only that he is not leaving right now.
Old Lion, your version makes sense to me. But as Chick has said we've been BSd enough over the years.
So in my mind they have finally boxed themselves into a corner. They will either move forward with Taylors recommendations or show once and for all that they really don't care.
Is there any way to confirm if a contract has been signed with Mr. Taylor or how things will proceed? The fact that Moe - I mean President Bollinger - mentioned him specifically means this plan has apparently been in motion. Why would he mention Taylor by name unless a contract was a given? That means Taylor would be spending the holiday season making lots of phone calls.

Was the defense on the field during Brown's first drive?
This is a disgrace. Sad. Pathetic.

I agree, he is such a lame duck if we keep him another year. Very awkward situation.
Let's hope Taylor does quick work with this whole thing so that we can move on and not waste yet another year...
