Believe me, I...Thanks for saying that Zero Dark...<br /><br />Believe me, I am used to this. If one aspires to be a public writer, then one must be ready for the criticism, whether it's fair or not.Jakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08406325184873110808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8498801197851744676.post-69346917137243881002015-02-18T09:56:53.943-08:002015-02-18T09:56:53.943-08:00Jake,

I am glad someone stepped up at the end to address those comments as I was only able to join by phone. <br /><br />It just sounded very juvenile (and personal) from Mr. Taylor. The administration fails to see what a positive this blog could be for the program IF they provided something positive to write about. As far as the implication that you need to better research what you write, the administration could easily solve those issues by providing more transparency and removing the need to rely on other sources.<br /><br />If this blog is "toxic" purely because of the way it is run, it wouldn't have the dedicated base of readers/participants bleeding light blue that it does. You are a passionate and loyal fan of Columbia Football. Thank you for what you do.<br /><br />There were many good things said this morning. Now we all anxiously await the result of the search for a new head coach.Zero Darkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18271693262838039489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8498801197851744676.post-33518397531868264912015-02-18T08:24:50.869-08:002015-02-18T08:24:50.869-08:00I could not attend but phoned in.

Pilling sounds sharp. <br /><br />Taylor said no coach worth anything would take the job without knowing who the AD was and the approach was to get that right first. I agree with that. Financial commitment for both facilities and coaches is there now, too, as well as admissions. Taylor said the AI inherently favors HYP but otherwise we are as competitive as anyone for admits and financial aid. <br /><br />Taylor said he was very surprised and impressed with the quality of people interested in head coach position, Pilling said ETA of new coach is mid March...<br /><br />I think they passed the test for this round, coach hire is next and also crucial, very anxious to learn how next few weeks play out.WOFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00604587927318424868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8498801197851744676.post-2029562668013465332015-02-17T11:31:45.986-08:002015-02-17T11:31:45.986-08:00From Rick Taylor, I would like to know what specif...From Rick Taylor, I would like to know what specifics he would implement immediately.

I have researched him over the past year and people who have worked with him say he takes over every situation he is involved in. He's no "coach" he's a control freak, end of dossier.<br /><br />Never realized this before but that is the worst hairpiece I have ever seen on prez. That is a truly ridiculous look for anybody.

It<br />was then allowed to become not only an abject loser but a national laughingstock for the past half-century. It's a travesty that any critic, especially Jake, has to defend himself for pointing out reality.<br /><br />We now play an insular mini-schedule including schools that didn't exist or were junior colleges 30 years ago, and we still are thrashed and trashed continuously, as in the current 21 game game losing streak.<br /><br />The onus is certainly is not on the alums and other supporters of Columbia football. This is the amateur hour but not the type that's put on television. And it has to end.Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13262200931191143947noreply@blogger.com
