Yeah. Tough to see him go. He was their spiritual leader. Summy brought him over.Tamuco99 said:

For sure. Most of those guys are well respected and will land on their feet. They didn't do anything wrong except stay long enough that they were making too much money relative to their title.southwestag said:
Hope some land on their feet but they've been at a place where they were paid well and only focused on one thing - unless they land at another sec or P5 can some of them function or are attractive to others where you have to work for less but have more duties?

****'em, they created this mess. I'll watch'em from my living room where I cause pause the game, drinks are cheap and I don't have to fight the crowds and the heat.
App State was my last game at Kyle, after 20 years of being a season ticket holder.
Fool me once shame on you, fool have eleven hundred times....shame on me.
I doubt any of these folks made any of the big decisions that frustrate you and many of the rest of us.DGrimesAg92 said:

This is probably to balance the employee load. Under Bjerk the top may have gotten too heavy so the new AD had to get rid of some unneeded positions. The easiest way to save $$$$ is to cut wages.Expert Analysis said:
From an Eagle article:
Justin Moore
Chris Park
Tyler Pigg
Matt Watson
A couple good Ags and long time athletics department personnel.
Not to diss on these individuals, but some of those titles seem pretty cushy with duties that could be combined in other positions, which i guess is what they are doing. But I admit knowing little about managing something like Aggie football.JMac03 said:
