After reading through several posts I do not understand why Mal Moore is blamed for soo much. This is my take on him, forgive me for my ranting.
I am not a huge fan of CMM but he has not done as bad of a job as many people think. He is unfairly blamed for many coaching hires. I would like to make a report of his coaching hires and many other things he has done for the University. Most of this has been posted before by well respected posters and moderators.
Lets start off with his football hires:
1) Franchione-- This was not a bad hire, he was was a good coach. It is not CMM's fault that he jumped ship.
2) Price-- Seems to be a good coach and hire. Again, it was not his fault CMP enjoyed gentleman clubs and could not act with discretion.
3) Shula-- It has been reported by well respected people that this was not his hire. Besides that, who else would you have gotten in MAY!!?
Other things that he has done well for the AD:
1) CMM seems to have a special nact for fundraising. Under is direction many renovations and building projects have been conducted of various athletic facilities.
2) Many other athletic teams have done exceptionally well-- basketball, baseball, gymnastics, softball, golf. While these may not be the bread winners like football, they do garner attention and respect towards the University.
While I do get tired of seeing him at halftime of EVERY football game, he does work very hard for the University. In my opinion he seems to not get a fair shake on decisions regarding football. Although I do understand that the man at the top should be held responsible for what has occured under his leadership, I do not think it is entirely fair to just look at football coaching hires. If people do just look at those I would like them to have some perspective of the situation that led to those hirings & firings.
I welcome people's thoughtful opinions of CMM's job so far.
