“That’s huge,” he said. “You’re coming to a program that has really good players. It’s a team I’ve watched grow the last couple of years, and an organization that I’ve watched grow, from going against them on the field, to going against them in homes in recruiting. You’re saying to yourself, ‘Wow, this has now become the real deal. It’s back.’ That’s what kept on going through my mind. For me to have the opportunity to come here, wow, it’s on the rise again.”

It's a shame Morris couldn't get the red shirt his freshman year, because I agree with Cash, 2014 & 15 are going to be the years we start our run.
 
I love this hire. Coley has a lot of energy, which I love. I can't wait to see the wrinkles he brings the offense and see his play calling ability.

Can't be true. Golden sucks and if we only gave Shannon a few more years we would of been back....or so I've heard.
 
It's incredible how blinded we all were during the shannon years about how poorly things were really going.

More and more tidbits like this come up where you can see people lost all respect for us.

We ain't back until people fear us in all aspects again.
 
Speak for yourself about being blinded. The man was obviously clueless from day one. Worst corch in our history by a landslide.

Not me. Shanntard was the worst of all-time.

Agree 100%. I was very unhappy with the initial hire of a DC without HC experience from a team on a downward spiral. I said I was going to give him a fair chance and that lasted until the last game in the Orange Bowl - I took my dad and uncle along with me & I still can see the TEs running wide open from UVA.

We all agreed during and after that game - last game in OB ever so we stayed until the very end that game - that Shannon was not HC material.

Well, Shannon had his ups and major downs. I will say this..Nobody on here can say they thought we would plunge as bad as we did after we beat Oklahoma and had the 3-1 start in 2009. I definitely thought we were at least somewhat back. (And yes, I know it wasnt a fully healthy OU team but at the time of the victory who cared..) But Shannon just had some loses that are just plain unforgivable. I will never let him live them down. EVER. He has more unforgivable losses then all of the Cane coaches combined and if there was a top 10..He would have 3 of the top 5! (The blowout home loss to FSU in 2010, The Virginia blowout loss at the last game at the OB, and the home loss to USF in 2010)

Coley seems like he is the goods and I am excited that he is excited. Now lets see some results starting on Sept 7.

WHAT???

Nobody? You couldnt be more wrong. There were a LOT of people who knew Shannon was incapable of dong anything other than further destroying the program. You are projecting inappropriately.

The destruction he levied on my program has nothing to do with any single games or isolated incidents. It was a conglomeration of incompetence. Abject failure in every facet of running a program that went way way deeper than one game or even one season. The guy had zero concept of running a program or being a leader, and he showed no interest at all in improving his flaws in either category. There are plenty of stories of him being a 20 hour per week worker who was seemingly never around the football offices.
