    Why is it so hard for so many to realize that Smith has been neutered and Tedford is in line to take over
    Smith was a eunuch to begin with. HTH

    Any thread where I can swoop through a get 3 or 4 5th downvote walkoffs on Teq is a winner in my book.

    The press just runs with what they are told ...

    Pretty sure that there was some talk about this on the TSIO podcast at one point on Smith, Tedford, and the OC situation ...

    Pete runs his business like a well run organization ... generally succession planning in well run organizations takes place in an orderly process were replacements are either identified or trained before being asked to take on the job.

    From what I've heard through the grapevine, which matches what I'm seeing play out, I have no reason to believe that Smith will be here beyond this year. Going back to last year, I said that given his performance that he should have been effectively removed from the equation ... enter Tedford's presence this year. Anybody that thinks that Smith is operating autonomously as OC is fooling themselves.

    Put another way, this is your standard example where you see a low performer get actively managed with additional attention to the point where they either manage themselves out of the role or they end up taking a different role elsewhere as they see the writing on the wall.
    I guess I'm not real familiar with oddball passive aggressive corporate America culture, and sure there are such things as buy outs and severances, but why not just fire his ass well before the season? That's how it works 98% of the time in American football.

    I don't think he's as awful as some do here, but "we" can do better and he's a liability.

    Two years of data points isn't enough for you?

    I've been on the "three and see" train and not about to do a hobo jump just yet. This is the defining year. Pete's OKG's are in place, as are his choices for assistant coaches. This is his team, his team culture. If the team breaks out in a big way, it would be hard to argue that he's not the guy. If they remain mired in mediocrity, well then there's your answer, he's not the guy. Where they're at after the first six games this season will be telling. Three preseason games to warm up and then a real three game test, the kind that can define them as potential champions or chumps. I say LIFPO.
