certain coach extent miss national took university
Coach Vaught took Ole Miss football, and to a certain extent the University of Mississippi, into the national spotlight.
ads coaches focused indication names sent stuff
Fans, being what they are, sent names and stuff in, but we're not even focused on that right now. When the season's going good, or bad, there are always coaches that you're watching, because you never know. But I wouldn't want that to be an indication we're doing that this season. ADs always do that.
coach next spent sure talking time works
He won't be our coach next year. I'm not sure how all of that works out, the terminology of that. I just don't know. We hadn't spent a whole lot of time talking about that.
coaches conduct particular pieces players respond talk
I think all you can really do (attending games) is see how they conduct themselves, their mannerisms, how the players respond to them and how they talk to the other coaches on the bench. I don't know if any of those in particular are earth-shattering pieces of information, but it's another piece to the puzzle.
admirable coaches dismiss experience fast four growing job three
He had three or four years of experience in his one year. If you go and look at the things he had to do ... he had to dismiss players, had to dismiss a coach. So many of the things he had to do, a lot of coaches go two or three years without having to do. I think he has done an admirable job in growing at such a fast rate.
basketball change class coaching difficult due felt history lack means miss needed playing positive rod success throughout university utmost
Rod Barnes has been a very positive and important part of Ole Miss basketball history throughout his playing and coaching career. He has always represented the University with the utmost class and integrity. Because Rod means so much to the Ole Miss family, this was a difficult decision. However, due to our lack of success in the Southeastern Conference, I felt a change needed to be made.
I'm really not going to give it a whole lot more thought than what I've already said.
ask chemistry decides fits matches sit stuff talked
Once Ed decides who he wants, then he and I will sit down and I'll ask him why. He and I have already talked about (several issues). Getting the right person that fits what he needs. Chemistry and personality matches up and stuff like that.
athletes excel former graduated playing remarkable testament true
Not only did these remarkable student-athletes excel on the playing field, all of the former athletes also graduated from Ole Miss. That's a true testament to their character.
becoming fairly five list obvious seconds talked talking
We've got a list, and it's becoming shorter. We've probably talked about 20 or 30 people, some for five seconds and some we're still talking about. It's becoming obvious that the list is narrowing down fairly quickly.
andy handed interested john liked talking turned
Andy was passionately talking about being at Ole Miss, and John Hartwell handed him my compensation list, and he said, 'I'm not interested in that,' and turned it over. I liked that.
couple history
You have to look at the whole season, if not a couple of seasons, and see what history is there.
good start
You have to start narrowing it down to interviews, and that's pretty much been done. If you feel pretty good about your group, it can't be continuously open-ended.
achieving bad harmful major near others penalty publicity sports supposed though
The scholarship penalty is not going to be near as harmful to us as the bad publicity for not achieving what we're supposed to achieve. Even though your major sports and all your others are good, we still didn't do what we should have in one.
