Gene Smith?!?

 

[SECTION 11]

Gene Smith?!?

Isn't he the AD?

 

[maddogkf]

...and the reason is???

Peace treaty?

 

[WizardOfAz]

I am surprised that the AD wouldn't be allowed to be part of this "peace treaty" given the way he flamed the situation at the outset.

My fellow Irishman, Gene Smith, is as good as fired right now.

He stole from the Cards, got caught, blamed the Cards, got caught, cost ASU tons of money and bad PR, and is operating in the red with a bad bball coach and a worse football coach.

Dead meat. Academicians are only happy when the athletic department brings in loads of donation money to help overpay tenured professors.

 

[sundevilscott]

The rumblings I hear are some sort of joint practice which seems a little wierd.

The reason Gene is not gone is the fact that we don't have the money to buy him out...I wonder why that is?

Harsh, but true.

I haven't given up on Koetter yet. This is his year though. He either wins or else.

Attendance is atrocious. Even worse, there's no reason to believe it will get any better this year.

Even though they started giving away season tickets in February?? C'mon, that's gotta be considered a good sign, right??

 

[maddogkf]

are college teams allowed to practice against pro teams?

you'd think that the liability would be huge....

 

[azsouthendzone]

its probably just ASU practicing at the facility or something like that. As a lifelong Sun Devil/Cardinals fan, I am happy they patched this up. They should can Koetter and hire Danny White like they wanted to do all along. I hear some say that ASU will be improved from last year, yet they have nothing to base this feeling on other than the usual hope every fan has. Koetter and Rob Evans should be gone. Throw Rob Murphy in there too for good measure.
