Has anyone seen the post game interview? I haven't seen it posted anywhere. Unless someone taped the radio interview, you'll never hear it either.

I am talking about the rest of this season 72... I too am frustrated but we need to remember that players read this board... We need to support this team no matter what, and be in the stands this Saturday! Skip Smith WCU 1982 quote author=" wcu72" source="/post/38217/thread" timestamp="1538956715"] That is all behind us now - we have to move forward and learn from our mistakes... No time for pointing fingers... We also need to learn to play with a "chip on our shoulder"... That sounds a lot like, "just wait until next year" crap that we've heard for over 40 years. There is certainly time for finger pointing. This HC coach and staff were called out 5 years ago, but all the majority on the board could only repeat year after year...."they are young".... "give them time to recruit their players"..... "give them time to develop"......" national champs at a different school"....."beat Michigan" at a different school..... Well, it's been 7 years now, all those old arguments don't hold up (never did). If the coaching staff is not competent enough to teach and correct the mistakes both the coaches and players have made, there is no way to move forward. The coaches have "lost" their team, they don't believe the "smoke that is being blown from the coaches" anymore. Is it going to take the team losing the remainder of the games this season to realize this? Well, hold on, that is where this team is headed. [/quote]

Go find another team to pull for since Western is not a winner in your book. The coaches did not fumble or throw any interceptions during the entire game. What is your plan other than fire everybody and hire Nick Saben? Nobody is happy but Coach Speir is not Dennis Wagner and he does not deserve to be fired. Everything that could go wrong went wrong in the first quarter. Maybe you should call Coach Speir and tell him how he should coach the guys up so they do not fumble or throw interceptions. I love Western Carolina just like you and everybody else on this board, but unless you know how to fix this quickly, we have got to stick with the coaches and players we have and get this turned around. I know if we can cut out the mistakes, we can compete with anyone in the conference.

So now the pissed off feeling is semi gone I have two questions for everyone on here.. First what do you think realistically should happen with the team? coaches gone, new players starting, etc...? Second what do you realistically think will happen? I said realistically on both the questions as we could make up fantasy options like fire all the coaches but we know this is not going to really happen but maybe some asst coaches get moved around. Something needs to break be it people stop giving as much or all till the changes that need to be made are made or pressure is put on the new head of the school and/or AD to let them know we do not accept bad products on the field or court. Just want to hear what others think as i am no where in the know about what is being said or done by both the players and coaches after that embarrassing and shameful game yesterday. I just love Western and want to see them do well not just middle of the pack or worse.

Realistically should happen? I’m about to ruffle a lot of feathers probably. Randy Eaton has been king of settling. He’s done just enough to get by with himself. I’m willing to say cut the ties from him and below and take the “loss.” I’d say rebuild. Not a 3 week search committee. Not hire this guy you know that has potential just hasn’t had a chance. Hire some talent. Someone that will do the job. A decision maker and fire starter.
Realistically that will happen? Nothing.

04 I will tell you what I think the solution should be but it is not going to happen. I think it has to start from the top down instead of from the bottom up. I could care less who the coach or the AD is as long as we have a winning athletic program and I am not just talking about football. Once the administration does their part and becomes a partnership and funds the program as they should then hold everyone accountable. Firing coaches or AD's hasn't gotten it done in the last 40 years so what makes people think it will change things now. It would still be doing the same thing again and expecting different results. I personally am in the process of writing the acting chancellor and Margaret Spelling and telling them just how embarrassed an alumni I am of my university. Will this do any good, probably not. It's all that I can do unless I was a very rich donor them I might could put some pressure on that way, but I'm not. Unless someone can tell me different, this is the only way I know to fight.

FLACAT why did he start Tyrie? I know the kid probably pushed to play but he is hurt, not going to get into the injury, but it affected him. Coaches put players in position to succeed. They set Tyrie up to fail imho. He wasn’t suppose to play Saturday. Two out of the three turnovers on the first 3 series were a direct result of him being hurt. That’s on Coach Speir.

I also am writing Margret, Allison, and even Randy. I think too many times we come on here(the board) and bitch but that is as far as it goes. I think it needs to go further and yes if only a handful write then it will not do any good but if a lot of people write and put their money, real and symbolic, then something might change. The time to not accept bad sports teams and middle level sports teams is now! They need to know we love WCU but will not accept what all, not just football, have become. The fact everyone but VMI has passed us by in wins in all sports and in funding for upgrades is embarrassing. 04 I will tell you what I think the solution should be but it is not going to happen.
