When we win, I can just see those who donated stomping around like the petulant children they are.
I'm all for spending your money however you want and realize Golden isn't ever going to be the coach we want that'll lead us to anything worth a ****. Having said that, looking at what the season holds, he's looking on paper that he'll be around for another season. Flying banners won't change that and makes a segment of the fan base look foolish.
Tell that to the Texas fans. 1 banner = 1 fired Athletic Director
As if that had anything to do with it. Coaching changes and athletic department changes are almost always made for one simple reason, when the real money says "Enough." Joe Jamail says "Patterson or me." and Patterson is gone.
Texas Longhorns fire athletic director Steve Patterson
Interesting excerpt:
Fenves told reporters that Patterson's exit has been in the works for several weeks, but that no one issue or incident led to the move.
"If I had to put it in a nutshell," Fenves said, "we're concerned about our fans and how they view the program."
Patterson's departure came three days after a plane carrying a "Patterson Must Go" banner circled the football stadium before the Longhorns' first home game of the season against Rice.
"Athletics is vitally important to the Longhorn nation," Fenves said in the news release. "For many, athletics is the front door to the university. The excellence and integrity of our program shines a bright light on all we do. Mike Perrin will solidify strong relationships with and among our student-athletes, faculty, students, alumni and coaches, building morale for student-athletes and staff.
