You just wrong for that SS. LOL. You know Beans is just being Beans today. So I had to return the favor.
 



Dude you have Comegy as your coach. You should be quiet. He couldn't even get his team up to play SU and allowed himself to get beat twice by UAPB. He has been skating every damn year at JSU but you want to call Odums out. I would take Odums every day of the year over Comegy. Fat Rick time has come and past. Even FAMU didn't want his arse.

JR, really? You would take Odums over Comegy? Really? Are you really going to glue yourself to this statement? Come on man
 
Messed up the search. Tell me how they messed it up. Folks applied and they picked 6 as semi finalists. They picked 3 as finalists and went with Odums because he convinced them he could do the job without breaking the bank like the rest of yall dumb arses are doing with these coaches who can't win a damn OOC game. It is about time we got some sense. Maybe Odums aint a big name. But hell, aint none of our schools attracting up and coming coaches right now. They all are trying to be FBS bound. Outside of Jenkins and Maynor. What names were you looking for? You gone see when your job comes open. Look at FAMU. Their names have Spears and one of our semi finalists Hendrick on their final list. And FAMU was paying Taylor over 200K. So where is the big name on their list?

Come on Beans and smell the coffee. Our jobs ain't as desirable as you think. When I say ours. I mean FCS in general. Even Jenkins was a reach for BCU. He was at Rutgers for 1 year under Schiano, after being on under performing staffs at ULL for all them years. But he walked into a decent situation where Shine left them some talent and has made his way.

Yall talk all that smack and criticize a search that was NATIONAL since coaches from outside of the region did apply. West, East, South, Midwest all were represented in the guys who applied to SU. Kenn posted the list for all to see. There were others not on the list who did inquire about the position as well. But you JSU folks think SU should have waited weeks to get who? The AD had his 3 picks and obviously the search committee and board agreed with him on his selection. When Odums whoops Fat Rick again next season. You will begin your coaching search that night I imagine and maybe you will be quiet finally. You need to worry about how bad those other sport teams are going to do this year. Shole can't wait to SU basketball get in that arse either. Again.

JR, I really applaud your effort in trying to dress up this muddy pig of a hire (no offense Odumbs). All you can talk about is one win over JSU?! Is that it?! Seems like you all have been reduced to celebrating ONE measely win over JSU rather than celebrating winning the West or the entire SWAC, something you haven't done in seven years. You can't even win the West for crying out loud, yet you dare compare Odumbs to Comegy?

Come on JR. You're losing credibilty and lots of it.

Dude, you are the one glossing over your own school's failure right now. SU is doing our thing. While you got issues. You got a semi legendary D2 coach who has not been who yall thought he would be. He ain't getting any younger. We are not celebrating one win against JSU and Comegy. Simply pointing out that you need to be quiet about what SU is doing when your coach just lost to the coach we hired and lost twice to Monte Coleman and UAPB. That's what I am saying. We did our search. Where is JSU's search? Where is your new coach or change? I think you need to be asking your AD instead of posting on TSPN about some search SU did that you don't agree with. You are more worried about if Odums will win than if Comegy will stop underachieving. That's my point. I could see if your school was dominating the SWAC in football or even dominating SU on the field. Yeah we lost those games to Fat Rick. But it wasn't like he was so masterful of a coach to even allow someone like Stump to be even in those games. That speaks volumes. So again, I would be quiet if I was you about coaches. BTW, how's basketball season looking right now.
 
Fat Rick is trying to get out of Jackson. Who can really blame him? jsu has become a football program below mediocrity. Since S.U. broke them down in the 90's, they haven't been the same. 1 championship in 16 years is who they are and the only people that are myopic about this situation is die hard jacksonians. That big rag tag stadium is always empty these days and it seems that a chilly wind always breeze through it from being so empty. No one wants to see jackson state football anymore. If one was to take S.U. off of the schedule, Calloway High School would be a great home field for jsu football.

LOL @ JRock. BTW it is Callaway HS.


Fat Rick knows he is out of there sooner or later. That's why he was trying to get the FAMU job. I can't wait to see JSU's search so Jayrob can comment on what he thinks Viv going to do.

Duly noted. I suspect that will be the second coming of the UniverSOUL Circus.
 
This guy really loves SU. He's in a FAMU thread bringing up good ole SU.

Don't get it twisted bruh. I don't recall being the first one to bring SU's name up, however I'm not one to hold back when it comes to such a school.
By the way, shouldn't you be concerned with that school in Lorman?

JR, since you're one of the few good guys SU has, I'll make a deal. When SU wins the SCG, I'll hold off on chastising them. No, wait. I'll make it even easier....I think. When SU wins the West, I'll cease with my diatribes.
This alone should take another three years.:emlaugh:
Until then, no deal. You guys would've been better off hiring Spears over Odumbs. Po SU.:smh:

Not sure what you mean by that but the Masters Degree on my mantle at home says Southern University. Also, my brother, sister, mom, dad, three aunts and two uncles all have degrees from Southern University. No knock on Alcorn, but I have no ties to that school in Lorman.
 
Not only did he apply, he called to check on the status. This isn't the smack page and I don't have to lie. Comegy used the Billy Joe recruiting model. Coming in and getting rid of players and signing a million people. We warned you he would do that before he was hired and how it would cause issues in today's environment. He is just learning how to recruit like a division one NCAA coach. Transfers will always be a portion of the FCS model, but you have to be able to recruit and coach up high school talent. What kept Billy Joe out of that trap where the assistants he initially had. Many with prior ties to FAMU and the high school pipeline. Although almost all the QBs were transfers except Quinn Gray, the receivers and RBs etc were high school talent signed from
Central and South FL. When those assistants left, Joe abandoned the high schools. Signing a roster full of JUCOs from San Jacinta CC and any other Cali Juco he could find. That is what really cost him his job. To the point that when the next coach and Taylor were hired, you had high school coaches and admins saying in the paper they had not seen a FAMU football coach in years. And some of these coaches and principals are FAMU grads. Comegy is in that same coaching tree and used the same methodology. Damn the revisionist history. We called it when you hired him (ask Robber) and he signed like 50 folks in his first class.

I recall what everyone said but Comegy did what he had to do. There was no talent when he got to Jackson and we are not Valley or A&T willing to wait 3 years to go 4-7, then 5-6, then 7-4. Comegy is only in Jackson becasue he won that championship and then when he was about to get canned again, he went 8-3 and 9-2. Also, while we are speaking of revisionist history, we all know what cost Joe his job.. POLITICS! Joe never coached in the APR era so he could bring in every JUCO or transfer this side of the Mississippi if he wanted to. Also, transfers are not the problem with APR. There is NO difference between a Jr transfer and Jr who was a a fr and so at your school as it relates to APR. They ALL have to go to class and progress toward graduation. The problem comes in when you recruit a JUCO and your school does not accept all of their JUCO credits, then they are a sophomore in the classroom. They could have a 4.0 but STILL cost you APR points. Our compliance office goofed on that. The NCAA and the compliance office cleared kids to play (notice we never got in trouble for playing ineligle kids and ALL of our kids had the grades to play) but individual depts at JSU later rejected classes. APR does not care what your GPA is or if you go to class. It only cares about how you are classified. We took our lumps for it and COMEGY is STILL recruiting transfers and he won't stop. We know the proper way to do it now. On top of that, for the last few years, MOST of our top performers have been HS recruits.
 
LOL @ JRock. BTW it is Callaway HS.

JR, we don't know what our search will yield but hopefully, we don't have to conduct one. JSU found it's identity mid-season. We have a LOT of starters coming back and for the first time in two years, we have a FULL allottment of scholarships for Rick to fill. On top of that, we have two promising QBs for next year and a nice stable of RBs. If we did do a search tho, it would probably resemble SUs but we would certainly get a more dynamic coach than the one you got. You all would have done better calling up that fat white dude who ran the offense under Pete or hiring Mike Vite. Vite was the foundation of Pete's best teams.
 
We aren't. We are preventing a lawsuit.

Trust me... Comegy would not cause a stink over this mainly because he can't afford to. He can't piss off JSU fans. We understand (sorta) that he has to look our for himself since we are hanging him out to dry. In fact, if JSU would just reward the man for going 8-3, 9-2, and 7-5, he wouldn't be interested at all. If JSU offered him a 3 year contract TODAY, he would call FAMU immediately and withdraw that application. The man just needs some job security just like you and I do but if he knows like I know, he better be working like a slave in Jackson to make sure he has a season worth getting an extension.
 
Don't know what he would or would not do, but if you dont give all applicants equal consideration through the process, that is grounds for a suit. He applied in time and someone messed up and didn't include his info to go forth to the committee. Anyone who works for govt and knows how minimally and best qualified lists understand this process.
