You should re-read the Sherman Plan again as you seem to have failed to comprehend the most basic part of it. Doesn’t the Sherman Plan include lots of fire? Yes. But that too requires some good judgment from those same people he says aren't very smart, and he wouldn't trust any money to them.
When it comes to firing coaches we haven't exactly been shown much good judgment in firing. Hunsaker and Ray were casualties of that judgment.

These are the same folks you think will solve the coaching problems by using their superior judgment to pick out hidden gems with innovative methods which the other programs have missed and everybody else refuses to pay what they are worth.
I outlined an entirely different method of choosing a coach that was explicitly intended to take the process out of the hands of the usual suspects. You should re-read the Sherman Plan again as you seem to have failed to comprehend the most basic part of it. I guess you do assume these people are idiots. Still. Don't you think university administrators, even if they are idiots are smart (and greedy) enough want to keep their power and their jobs?
How do you convince them to take a huge chance on this genius scheme and follow a course that would certainly make them look like idiots in the eyes of the idiots who hired them, and their peers who write the "best practices" and who are likely to be hiring (not hiring) them on their next job.
They have the completely safe course of just doing what everyone else does, the way everyone else does it.
If they are idiots, then we better give them the best chance to get lucky,they aren't going to be smart. If they are not idiots, then trust them with your money might make sense.

I am holding out hope our administrators are not idiots, but I am doubtful we can find genius there either. And I am very sure they will want strongly to follow conventional wisdom which is safer.
But however they are limited ( I confess we can be sure of that fact) we can increase their odds of making a good choice. If they have a better pool with more possible good choices to make, they should have a chance do a little better without being geniuses.

Sometimes I ask myself, "why am I posting on this ridiculous board anyway?" But at least I feel like I usually say something when I do. You might call it the impulse for self expression. What I don't get, though, is why anyone would want to make endless posts either re-stating the conventional wisdom, or else tiresomely circling around an issue and pointlessly stating both sides....which almost everyone is already familiar with anyway? Where is the fun in that?

Yeah, it's a real problem. I don't get it why people can't just go along with the fun of hating and criticizing everything BSU does!
Those BSU idiots who educated you are obviously too dumb to do anything good with your money.
But then so smart they will succeed when they try something nobody else has thought of doing!
And of course that would be right.
Because...oh yeah, because nobody chooses to do it, it must be. And our idiots are just the geniuses to figure that out!
You are right, this is a lot of fun!
I am getting a real thrill just riding this tilt a whirl.

If you don’t give something in someway, then in my opinion u r not a fan or supporter of the university (doesn’t have to be sports related). . Why would you spend endless time on a fan site of a place u clearly don’t respect? Kind of silly.

I can't think of any organization more deserving or more willing to help those in desperate need. Seriously what would the needy of Muncie do without a $4 million clock tower to gaze upon.

Sorry that I am posting this in the Tim Miles thread. But this thread is a typlical of most on this BSU Fans board: A statement is made and within a few short remarks the thread is stolen by those of negative thoughts. Then more negative comments. Then someone makes a positive comment and now that person is attacked with negative remarks. Some of those remarks are personal attacks on the positive person. The thread is then stolen by those making and receiving personal attacks. Hardly ever getting back to the original topic.
I have been trying to figure out why all the negatives. Then I thought "that is about all that is left". Most of the positive people are gone or they just refuse to comment thinking they will need targets for trash talk.
I am one of those positive people (which most of you will probably agree). At times I make stupid comments. Sometimes I am trying to bring levity to the conversation. Sometimes they are just stupid.
But the point being, I will be searching for another BSU Fans site. MY life is too short to be taken up with all the negative thoughts. For the past 52 years I have tried to keep in mind a statement made by one of my Freshman Physiology Professors, "A person does not make an unwise decision. When that decision was made, it was with the knowledge that the person had at that time. In the future with additional knowledge, the previous decision may be proven unwise".

It’s a typical fan site. Good luck finding one anywhere that’s different. 🤷♂️
I mean, some Kentucky fans want Calipari gone. It’s everywhere.

"A person does not make an unwise decision............................ That doesn't mean people don't make improper and personally damaging decisions. Let me ask this, how about a person who shoots-up heroin for the first time, is that person simply lacking information or do they know it's a really bad idea and do it anyway ?

This board is so tame in comparism to any other you might find at any other school. As far as another BSU board you might be able to find something on the regular MAC site

Why would you spend endless time on a fan site of a place u clearly don’t respect? Kind of silly. I've explicitly said a number of times that I'm no longer a fan. Nor am I a supporter in any realistic sense. I've tried to explain this a couple times before. BSU athletics is like that library book you check out and, 100 pages in, you realize it's bad. Often you will go ahead and finish the book even though the writing is bad, the characters are unrealistic...etc. The plot may be silly, but after you get to know what's going on, you still might read on just to see how it turns out. that's the best explanation I can give.

Not a fan, you say.. Just finishing a bad book. Ok.
But above you were challenging posts because they aren't fun. But surely by your own words here you aren't having fun either.
OK by me. But, don't call out others on that ground.
And since you don't really care, why listen to your prescriptions for recovery?
Of course we'll all still be there for you since many are here for group therapy perhaps.

Your prof actually said that? A person does not make an unwise decision? Honestly, that may be the dumbest statement I’ve ever heard. I’ve made literally dozens of unwise decisions in my lifetime, some consciously and some unthinking. I pray you cited that only as an example of how stupid and naive many academics truly are.
