I was thinking 1 more year would give Embree another recruiting class, more time to develop the current players, and more money to give the next coach, but if Embree knows he is out then it could be disastrous.<br /><br />I think the toughest part about this, is that most of the decisions that have been made were favorable at the time.<br /><br />Dan Hawkins seemed like a dynamite hire, and after his 2nd year he seemed to be the real deal so we gave him a contract extension.<br /><br />Embree seemed like the right guy at the time as well, given the budget constraints and the back to the roots mentality.<br /><br />It's just frustrating that we seem to be making the right decisions, and everything is backfiring in hindsight.Aaron Jordanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03198321997290890703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8030839680057503187.post-58402116884111808752012-11-27T08:27:26.688-07:002012-11-27T08:27:26.688-07:00I don't see how another year would help the ne...I don't see how another year would help the <i>next</i> coach. With the Hawk fired/not-fired fiasco in '09 (not Bohn's fault. Benson's), we already have a glimpse at what a lame duck year means. No one wants that.<br /><br />For sure, Embree is a great Buff, and it's hard to see things end this way.RumblinBuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16116266127359949491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8030839680057503187.post-58938336805048548962012-11-27T04:42:33.767-07:002012-11-27T04:42:33.767-07:00I have mixed feelings about the Embree situation. ...I have mixed feelings about the Embree situation. I probably wouldn't have fired him just yet, not because he deserves another year, but more just because I would want 1 more year to give the next coach a good chance of succeeding. Maybe Bohn knows something about the donors that we don't.<br /><br />I hate to see such a die-hard Buff get fired. I agree though, with all the confusion and lack of effort on the field, it was hard to defend him as a coach (without even bringing up wins/losses).Aaron Jordanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03198321997290890703noreply@blogger.com
