He just learned that his best friend has to move away, give him some time to process.

Tell me about it, when Brucey wants to write about something he beats it to death.

I honestly don't think this is even tin foil hat territory, in fact I think there is a decent chance this happened. Brucey seems to be the only person that was really surprised by this. I think Blue made his decision about Gould a long time ago. I hope that he had a running list of potential candidates for the job. I love the transparency that Dr. Blue is providing throughout the process, hopefully it won't be long until we have a new coach.

Aggies lead by 11 at half time, 37-26. GO AGS!

I think this just goes to what we have all been saying. Ron Gould is an excellent human being, he is an excellent running backs coach, but he was in over his head here. Good luck Coach Gould.

Yeah that's not overly surprising news. Good for him, I don't harbor any ill will against Coach Gould. I hope he finds lots of success down in Fresno.

Especially since there were rumors that the assistants tried to reason with Gould in terms of changing things up because of the record and he wouldn't have any of it. I don't know any validity behind that rumor, but I heard it nonetheless. They seem like good guys.

I'm not very knowledgeable about quality of assistant coaches, but those top 3 look awesome.

IT'S DIVISION 1 FOOTBALL!!

Wow! That's awesome news!

Dr. Blue talks about the plan going forward. Sounds like he had some guys already in mind. Brucey lists some potential candidates that might sound familiar to this board *cough cough*

Interview with Coach Gould. Sounds like he has some other opportunities coming his way.

Despite the firing of Gould, we apparently picked up a new commitment tonight! ATH Devon King from De Anza High School in Richmond! GO AGS!

That is a very outdated list.

I think the jury is still out on the program building, still a small sample size there. I want a coach who has a record of success.

Tough to say how many will stay though. Did they pick Davis for the program or the school? If they only picked it because of the program, they don't have much incentive to stay now that Gould has been let go. Time will tell, but I'm assuming whoever gets picked to coach here will want to salvage the recruiting season by getting a couple of their own guys on the roster.

Agreed that Moroski probably isn't the right guy for the program right now. There are some good options out there, just hope that Blue picks the right guy whoever that may be.

I agree with you on this one. Our talent is improving, but we have A LOT of work to do before we really turn the corner. I think Gould and staff had some roadblocks along the way, but that doesn't mean that the record they accumulated was acceptable, it was time for a new direction. I have faith in Dr. Blue to find a coach that meets his standards and is ready to lead this program into a new era of success.

I would have said Dan Hawkins probably would have had a shot at the job, but he just took an offensive coordinator position at FIU. Not saying he would be my first choice, just that he pops up in my head as a potential candidate who meets the standards Dr. Blue described.

I agree about needing to move quickly in this process. Hiring the coach is only part of the situation. Once hired they then have to hire coordinators, assistants, positional coaches, ect, then get acclimated to the area, and finally try to salvage this recruiting season. Gould and company got an early start this last year, but there is plenty of work that needs to be done. Just because we need to move quickly doesn't mean we have room to be careless this time around. Dr. Blue seems like he knows what he wants to do though, that guy has a vision.

Lady Ags win 95-87!!! GO AGS!
