Fanblogs.com: Ron Prince to Step Down at Kansas State

  • Lennie Collins · 1 year ago
    Hate to see him go BUT he wasn't gettin da job done!
  • Zac · 1 year ago
    Good accent there, Lennie, real nawth-east like.

    It seems the "18 JUCO Signees" experiment has failed, miserably...
  • Clemson_Joe · 1 year ago
    Yeah, seriously. They seem to be able to score points, but they can't really stop anyone from doing it more than them.
  • Zac · 1 year ago
    Which brings us to the ole addage, maybe OC was his "best destiny". I'd say Auburn could use him right about now.
  • War_Eagle_Atlanta · 1 year ago
    He knows the way. He was just down there last season...

    That QB Josh Freeman has had his moments of brilliance, but I don't know if he's like a Daniel, Bradford, Harrell, or McCoy... He has the right size characteristics for the NFL, and might be more highly coveted than the aforementioned QBs...
  • War_Eagle_Atlanta · 1 year ago
    I'm getting pretty good cutting my teeth as the Fanblogs' beat writer for coaching terminations, or so it seems...

    It's tough beating TE to the punch on these...
  • OU_Ron · 1 year ago
    I may have missed it, but I don't think I have ever seen Prince show any kind of emotions on the sideline during a game, if he is like that at practice........well I guess what I'm saying is where does he demonstrate a desire to win to his players...
  • Clemson_Joe · 1 year ago
    We had a guy like that. What was his name again?
  • OU_Ron · 1 year ago
    LOL, by the way, the pick em looks real tough to me this week, what do you think ??
  • Clemson_Joe · 1 year ago
    It does look difficult. The lines are getting much better as they usually do towards the end of the season. I absolutely bombed last weekend though, and I'm hoping that it was just a hangover from the week before. I had my best betting weekend ever the weekend before (10 out of 11), and I followed it up with a nice 2 out of 5. Anyway hopefully this one will be much better.

  • Clemson_Joe · 1 year ago
    No man. Tommy West used to chew out players. It was that other Tommy though.
  • GeauxTigers0107 · 1 year ago
    If he would have been the coach of an SEC team, some would call this firing (or letting go) an act of racism.

    But because he's not, it's simply because he just wasn't getting the job done. That is to say, his inability to coach the team successfully.



    Interesting......

    Let the SEC hire some more first!
  • GeauxTigers0107 · 1 year ago
    Lennie,
    Unfortunately, people like you wouldn't be satisfied until nearly every team had a person of color as the head coach. You choose to stereotype people of the south because of the history that we are not proud of, nor do the majority support. As you said once before, there are racists all across the country. But people not from the south use acts that took place decades ago to lump everyone together and label us all racists.

    I was raised mostly by a black woman because both my parents worked. Ms Blanche Williams (God rest her soul) worked with my parents to teach us morals, character and to never, ever judge a person on appearance alone. So I take offense to being lumped in with what everyone percieves us to be...and that is against black folks. There is trash in every race, for lack of a better word. These days, schools are open to all races, unless of course you want to attend one of the "black" colleges our state continually supports. That, to me, is racism against caucasions (sp?). I refuse to be a part of anything that alines itself in that manner. So to think that there aren't any black coaches in the SEC simply because of their race is, in my opinion, not true. All of the resources are there and available for anyone to better themselves. And if you're a person of color, there's even more through policies such as Affirmative Action - which believes in giving preferential treatment to these underqualified persons. It is a well known fact in my line of work that your chances of becoming employed by any of the major oil company's is greatly increased if you're a black female due to policies I just mentioned.....instead of absolute ability and skill.

    In a sport where winning is of the utmost importance, I believe that the best possible candidate would get the job. Maybe not 50 years ago, or even 40 years ago. But today, yes. I can honestly say that if Tony Dungy wanted to coach the LSU Tigers, he would get the job. And it's because of one thing Lenny.......ability to produce.

    Answer me this....what would happen if someone decided to form WET....White Entertainment Television? Can you imagine the uproar, protests, and million man marches? I for one, would be opposed to it because it advocates what I denounce, and that is racism. Yet BET is ok. It's a double standard Lennie and it's wrong.

    I think you'de be a fun guy to go back and forth with on the subject of our teams....especially since we've got dibs right now. But if race has to be intejected every so often from you, I'd rather not acknowledge.

    To everyone else...I appologize for the rant. I know this is not the place for it.

    No apology necessary. Some things have to be said. How else may we learn? Besides, I don't think you've broken the record for the most paragraphs in a "rant".
  • Lennie Collins · 1 year ago
    GeauxTigers0107...I never menioned anything thing about race. Fact I stated let the SEC hire some more so they can be judged on firing. A conference that only has 1 African American coach can't be judge on firing. You brought up race not me. You need to look within yourself not me. I since changed my mind...I do not believe Ronald Prince had enough time. As far as BET goes...I do not watch it. Do you know the history of BET? I am almost sure you don't! MTV back in the 1980's did not play African American music videos EXCEPT Michael Jackson so the BET was launched. Yes, BET started out with only playing music videos. I had a man say something on the same lines as that when I was in the US Army except he refered to African American colleges. This man could no longer talk to me let alone look me in the face when he founded out that African American Colleges were started because they could not get into mainstream colleges. He was told that African American colleges were started first and the freed slaves did not want to be around non-African decents. I could not believe he thought like that. So most of these guys that agree with you can clap their hands and applaud you BUT they probably don't know the history behind BET. This election has brought out the worst and best of people. The fact is BET plays rap & hip-hop video of all artist. I again don't watch it because that is not my style of music, so why you gave me you background...I don't know. I never called you anything so why you are trying to convince me that you are not a racist...I DON'T KNOW! I thought I was on that "LONG LIST" of not responding to?
  • GeauxTigers0107 · 1 year ago
    I don't have a long list of people I don't respond to...only ones who choose to use race as the backdrop every now and again. When you brought up race and the lack of black coaches in the SEC about a month ago, I made up my mind that you didn't deserve a response from me on anyhing anymore because I refuse to be associated with people like you who think that way. So there's no "long list" Lenny. It's just you....one person. You decided that all of a sudden there's a "long list" of SEC folks who aren't speaking to you.

    I brought up the race issue because if this coach would have been in the SEC and let go, you would have been the first one on here going on about the SEC's lack of black coaches. Yet, on this thread, because the coach isn't in the SEC (which you apparently have a hard on for.....probably since 2003), your response to a black coach getting fired was simply that he wasn't getting the job done. I know it, and you know it too. Why is that?

    As far as the background, that was given to simply relay the fact that, contrary to your beliefs, not all southerners are racist. Your post about the lack of black SEC coaches is evidence that this is your stance. I owe you no explanation, nor do you deserve one, but once the rant was started, it kept building. What's done is done.

    Now BET. Again, part of the rant. I brought it up to see how you would justify it and explain the double standard that black folks have. You and I both know that if someone were to try and start WET (White Entertainment Television), the NAACP would be all over it. It would never reach the air waves. BET is cable network based in Washington, D.C. targeted toward young black and urban audiences in the United States. Robert L. Johnson founded the network in 1980 just so you know. It has nothing to do with MTV. They were playing several black artists video's other than Michael Jackson. Lionel Ritchie, Eddie Murphy, Bobby Brown and Boys to Men, to name a few. I know because I was a young teen back then who watched and enjoyed MTV. So that claim is unfounded as well.

    You play your race card when it's convenient and meets your agenda to denegrade the south.

    I don't have a race card nor any use for people who do.

    Geauxtigers0107...as usual you don't read my comments. To me you come off trying to sound smarter than me and when I don't submit THEN you have a problem. Fact is there is only 1 African American coach in the SEC. I don't know how you determined I labelled all European Americans in the South racists from that. I stated that MTV when STARTED did not play African American Video. Lionel Richie did not go solo until 1982, Bobby Brown didn't go solo until 1986, and Boys II Men was not formed until 1991. So I do have a little knowledge about those artists. You stated that I was on that list of not responding to after I mis-spelled Clemson Joe Alma Mater. You try to make it appear that I am out to start something with you or SEC fans and I am not! You started with the insults with me not me with you. You said so proudly how I label people BUT you are labelling me. As I said before you need to check yourself first before you start saying stuff about me!
  • GeauxTigers0107 · 1 year ago
    Check myself ??? What a joke, man. I'm sorry if you think I tried to come off as sounding smarter than you. That was no-where near the intent of the posts. Apparently you have a complex about it. I would like to encourage you seek a self confidence course so that you are not so easily offended in the future.

    That being said, I've said my peace and I'm done with it. Have a nice holiday season and God Bless.

    Gigem-Aggies beat the H out OU
    Afterv they get beat by the Aggies, they can go back home and lose to the Red Raiders prior to another beatdown in Stillwater- OU Sux
  • GeauxTigers0107 · 1 year ago
    Tomcat, it's funny you mention that. The rig I'm on now has a medic who's a huge A&M guy and he was just telling me the same thing...lol.

    If it happens, it will definitely be a huge upset. He also explained to me alot of the traditions they do at A&M. It was some pretty cool stuff. I hope they can pull it out. Sorry OU-Ron...lol.

    Ya GeauxTigers they have to try and keep the ball away from the OU offense and win the TOP battle. Thats how TTech beat Texas the first half, keep it away from their offense and you got a chance a victory- The Aggies have shown moments of brilliance this season and actually led at the half vs Texas Tech- I hope they beat OU and LSU beats Bama and OK State beats TTech.
    The games that I will focus on

  • GeauxTigers0107 · 1 year ago
    LMAO!! So you're saying he's alot like Corso then? You pray the guy never picks your team to win because he's always wrong...lol.

    I definitely dont have anything against OU or Bob Stoops. I just like seeing an upset now and then. Hopefully my team can do the same today.

    And I'm pretty sure you took OU in the Pick 'Em this week. Seeing as how I need to make up ground on you and Clemson Joe, I'm picking the other way in hopes of at least a cover by the underdogs in a few games.

    Good luck, none-the-less. Kyle Field is steep in tradition and from what I'm told, very hard to win in by visiting teams.

    Is that your way of saying you are putting me back on that long list of not responding to? I hope so! You are the one who has a self confidence problem. You mentioned that some African American woman raise you while your parents worked. I could care less if a pack of wolves raised you...you still come off like a fool! If you can show me ANY evidence that BET is any way anti-European/Asian American then you got a supporter in me to get them off the air. Matter of fact Robert Johnson FIRED Tavis Smiley for negative comments he made about European Americans...do you remember that? You probably never watch(ed) BET! I don't know if you are upset that Louisiana State is not doing well OR you might still be upset that Obama got elected. You brought up race in this thread not me. So I hope you keep your promise and don't respond to me. GOOD-BYE! I hope you take note that it's not good to be acting like a JIVE TURKEY when it's so close to Thanksgiving! GEAUX AWAY!

  • GeauxTigers0107 · 1 year ago
    Leonard....this has absolutely nothing to do with the Presidential election, though I did vote for McCain. And contrary to your belief, my choice had nothing to do with skin color. I'm above those type of motivations and you should try it as well. I voted McCain because he has WAY MORE experience than Obama does. Obama was in office for 143 days....that's not even 6 months!! Then he announced that he wanted to run the most powerful country in the nation.

    You couldn't get a job at Burger King doing french fries and in 143 days, become the manager. A nurse, with 143 days in the field, couldn't suddenly become head of surgery. Yet this smooth talker came out and preached one word...."change"....and the masses followed, much the way they followed Jim Jones back in the day.

    It was funny, yet scary at the same time, when I heard the street interviews done by the Howard Stern show. He sent a guy on the street to interview the public, specifically, Obama supporters. But when conducting the interviews, he inserted McCain's beliefs and issues he backs behind Obama. For example: "So are you comfortable with Obama's selection of Sarah Palin as his VP?" The response: "Oh yeah, oh yeah...they're gonna be great togoether!" And another: "So are you happy that Obama is against gun control?" The response: "Oh yeah...we need our guns!"

    He won because of the illiterate supporters who voted on skin color and one word..."change". Forgive me for wanted a President who has experience in the field of the job he's applying for....26 years to be exact. I mean, this guy actually has a law named after him. I'll let you look it up (though I doubt that's possible).

    I could go on for 8 more paragraphs on why McCain is better qualified for the job over NObama, but this is a college football blog and I want to keep it that way. Besides, you don't deserve justification of my political views anyway.

    Perhaps you're still pissed about 2003. Please tell me that's not the case. Please tell me you've moved on since then.

    LSU is doing fine. Their freshman QB is horrible but other than that, we're doing fine. Thanks for asking. The concern is appreciated.

    It's all about winning boys. Alum today will over-pay a green alien ornamental plant, with a winning record. I can see it now, a little green cacti, (Lou Holtz?). For your school, you should depend on boosters to pick a coach. We here at USC have a lot of experience with that, I call it, failure by committee of the stupid.
    On the other hand, Mr. Holtz guided our search for his replacement. He hooked us up with a good one.
