This time he was just right, so he is quick to say I told you so. When they are wrong, they aren't around hence the majority of people who claimed CBH would get fired earlier in the year. Show up right or wrong to garner anything from me. Well...when people with information assets don't make final decisions it's easy to be "wrong"....... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has been coming for a long time and everyone involved knew what the end result was going to be. This is a move that has the potential to be really good. If we can get another that is again removed from the Dye boys then we will move into this century. If not, and we hire someone like Tim Jackson, then we will be behind the Mississippi schools for a while. This is the chance we have to align everything and everyone.

AUinMS9528 1,086 Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 I liked Greene for the most part. He made a few bonehead decisions, but overall, I thought he did a pretty decent job. I don’t know what happened between him and Bruce, but AG went out of his way to patch that up. Normally, I wouldn’t be terribly nervous about it, but AU’s PTB and their track record makes me nervous about anything related to the AD and/or our football program!!!! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t post as much anymore about this kind of stuff because honestly it’s not worth the headache. But now that the news is official, I’m posting not to tell you “I told you so,” but to let you guys know I never had an agenda - I was just sharing what I knew to be solid info. You probably also ought to consider this your warning shot on what I previously posted about Harsin. Is or was this decision made by the boosters and is is related to Greene's hire of Harsin? Can u refresh my memory on the post about Harsin? Edited August 26, 2022 by NWALA Tiger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real shame to lose out on a guy with the charisma he had I would think it’s an absolute we get more of a good ol boy type replacement Agreed he was likeable but there were some serious issues.

I agree, but remembered that is not true. General Ron Burgess was a major part in his hiring. He, Greene, and Riggins were the three that broke off and hired him. Not just Greene 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would assume if it happened a week before the season, then ADAG either found a landing spot, we found a landing spot for ADAG, we found and secured our replacement, or he wasn't ready to wait. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a lot of people don’t realize is a lot of the good decisions that people think AG made the last 1.5 years of his tenure was actually Burgess.
