This will be the day I start tailgating with everyone else. Naw. I would stop supporting TSU sports all together. Lets drive the car in reverse and see how far we get. TSU fans are real emotional. Let's dig up Merritt from the grave and let him coach as well. Not being emotional. Just being facetious. I'm not for joining either of the HBCU conferences. But, I have to admit I'm no longer totally against it. Yes, I believe it would be step down. But, we need support and we need games that our fans are interested in. Even if we were winning consistently, I don't know if that would be enough to increase fan support. There really needs to be a conference realignment .... Sorry. Some one posted this same idea in the Facebook group. The OVC just really isn't a football conference. Jack st just focuses on growing there following. I know eventually they have fbs dreams. It is hard to ask a coach to TSU and tell them that they won't play a full ovc schedule. Also since we don't olay a full schedule, we are penalized by having to play an extra road game. Doesn't sound like a good offer.

But think of all the games we could go to if we were in the MEAC... LOL

Why are we playing a school that only has 35 players on their roster VLU? NCAA Division II? . Scheduling these guys basically gives the coaching staff a cheap win to pad their overall season record. I find this utterly ridiculous.

Speaking of that, I am trying to go the TSU vs NCAT hoops game.

Why are we playing a school that only has 35 players on their roster VLU? NCAA Division II? . Scheduling these guys basically gives the coaching staff a cheap win to pad their overall season record. I find this utterly ridiculous. VUL is a very small school. They are not currently classified as D2, D3 or NAIA. They are trying to achieve one of those status classifications from what I learned over the weekend from someone that attended Bowie State and knows someone who attended VUL. He wasn't sure which one they are going after. I think probably NAIA. I honestly think they have reached out to HBCU's for guidance and support. Anyway, keep in mind the NCAA only requires D2 schools to award 36 full/or partial scholarships in football. I don't think D3 nor NAIA have minimum requirements for awarding scholarships since neither require scholarships to field a team. Yes, the VUL game is clearly a filler game. We at least waited till we couldn't find anyone else to play. Other HBCU's playing VUL have scheduled them much earlier than we did. Also, several FCS schools including those in the OVC regularly schedule at least one D3 and/or NAIA schools. TTU has done it several times in recent years. Murray and UTM have also done it. Most schools however prefer to only go one step lower than the level in which they play. It's really no different than us playing Fisk in basketball. Technically we're supposed to win that game though it hasn't always worked out that way....

We gave up an OVC game to play VUL. I think that is what is slightly different.
I know some folks wants a HC change.
I am not sure what reputable coach would really want to be judged on winning a conference, knowing that you are going to play 1 less game.
That is really tough, and let's be honest. We are a FCS team. I am sure most are going to want to go to a higher division at some point. Conference champs help build your resume.

wow I've heard a lot of comments over this past weekend game at ttu, but basically its very simple process the tsu coaching staff is just plain not smart enough, I know a lot of you hearts are with this staff but basically they just cant see the whole picture and we are not trying to go back in time but I will say this the last time tsu won the conference was 1998 & 1999 back-to-back and yes LC just happened to be the coach, but are we looking to go there not nessarily, there are young and energetic (SMART) COACHES THAT JUST WANTS A CHANCE, every year it mainly is the same thing, someone said get 3-star football players to overcome the coaching defiencencies actually that's not a bad idea because we see that these guys make the same mistakes in year 3 as they did in year 1, the whole thing with any sport is keep your opponent off balance and guessing. TSU is far from that. I'm with bvtiger at this point I don't care what color the coach is as long as he wins consistence like 3 straight years of nothing less than 8-3 1 loss in the conference. this team will not win an OVC game this year. it appears every ovc school has our playbook, why is that, because we are not smart enough to keep changing week in and week out. every week the offense should install 4 new plays that nobody has seen. some may agree some may not but I like TEE MARTIN IN THE OVC.

They beat EKU.
This team did underachieve.
Remember last time the job was posted, alot of new faces didn't apply.
People are hungry, but they are a lot better jobs out there where you can make your own way.
None of this garbage where Presidents can adjust schedules or make you chase a tradition that people haven't invested in.

Organizations that struggle don't do a good job of building consensus. How are you collecting data here? I am sure that their are some who didn't want him hired in the first place.

I've all ways been a Reed guy but when I come across certain people saying certain things, Things that they say have been going on for years, lets me know that its not just the Offensive Coordinator that should be on the hot seat at TSU.

I have been told the same about the Coaching Staff, from former players and some that did not play under Reed.
Most of the alumni wanted to give Reed an opportunity. And there were some that wanted Mike Jones for the job, based on his experience as a professional player. And perhaps bring on some others with professional experience, with new ideas.
The question should be, with his professional experience. Why did the offense struggle and when Parker started calling the plays while Mike was still on staff. The offense seem to improve, WHY. This is a hard pill to swallow - Mike was undermined and second guessed.
Reed is not a bad coach, not at all. He just need to hire some good coaches and let them coach.
A majority of the current staff is new per se'. But, I am sick of hearing about the amount of experience they bring to the program. SHOW ME.
I am not and never will be a "Coaching Staff Fan" I am a TSU Fan, period.
