OK for those of you who want Swepson fired I agree. He is not head coach material. Look at NCSU case and point. He is a clone of OBrian. Don’t talk to anyone and let the coaches do all the work. Yes I am sure he does his mandatory contract stuff and talks to players. I never really see him engage. He still lives in his 3,748 square foot home in Raleigh that was worth total $479,500 however it has lost value and homes near him are going $20,000 to $40,000 less. Im sure he is waiting on something bigger and better to come along. Again we shall see as the season goes on. Elon needs to find another Lembo or someone like him to generate excitement about football. I liked getting coach updates from limbo kept me connected to the program. No I really don’t want to go and see a game. Lembo was very personal.
Ok phoenix club members if you want to get rid of him stop giving to the phoenix club and tell them why. If you want to support Elon athletics specify it in a letter to donate to a specific sport or what you would like it to go to. They have to use it for what you specify other than football. Otherwise it goes to the general operating budget and can go back to football. Heck Baseball deserves it mostly as they seem to be winning more than football now. Build them a Baseball only facility.
If you really want Swepson gone stop feeding the endless pit and stop donating to the phoenix club remember money talks. All it takes is a couple major donors or a lot of small donors to pull out their money and say why. As all big programs do it the boosters call the shots. Piss boosters off or Piss the cooperate funding off and things get done.

Pardon me but wtf are you talking about? Phoenix club money goes toward scholarships for athletes. Period. Do you want any sport, especially football to be less than fully funded? Don't go to games, don't buy concessions, don't donate to capital projects, but take away scholarships? Don't be dumb. That is the quickest way to bury an entire athletic program.

I talked to the PC this last weekend on the topic of his home. From what they told me is he did attempt to move but could not sell his home, and he doesn't make enough to own two homes. I agree I would like a coach that was more open and talked to the fans and would of like a coach with more experience but not donating to scholarships is not the way to do it. Yes write the PC and Blank(cough) and voice your concerns but don't hurt the players.

Not giving money to the phoenix club because we are not happy with the current coach might be the dumbest comment I have ever read on this board. Just a ridiculous statement, elon02.

OK for those who cannot read, read the below. I left out a few lines in the copy and paste and made corrections however I think in my defense the below never said not to donate just specify what the donation goes to in a letter. Read a bit more carefully thank you elonfirefigher. i think my corrections speak to what should happen if you want Swepson gone.
Ok phoenix club members if you want to get rid of him stop giving to the phoenix club and tell them why. If you want to support Elon athletics Which I think we all do, specify it in a letter to donate to a specific sport or what you would like it to go to specifically. They have to use it for what you specify other than football. Otherwise it goes to the general operating budget and can go back to football. Heck Baseball deserves it mostly as they seem to be winning more than football now. Build them a Baseball only facility.
If you really want Swepson gone stop feeding the endless pit and stop donating to the phoenix club for football(new) remember money talks. If you donate for football have it go to scholarships only(new). All it takes is a couple major donors or a lot of small donors to pull out their money and say why. As all big programs do it the boosters call the shots. Piss boosters off or Piss the cooperate funding off and things get done.
I left out a few lines in my post by the way I would never take a scholarship away from a athlete. It gives them a chance to get an education and excel in sports.

This is enough. He's got to go. He's arguing with the ref when he should be trying to win. My donation this year goes to baseball

What I saw from Coach Swepson tonight is unacceptable. He needs to be fired immediately (He should not be on the bus back home). He cannot lose his head like that and I refuse to follow a team that has a coach who consistently berates the referees. He wasted one timeout in the second half continuing to argue a call and then cost us the game with his unsportsmanlike penalty.
I do not support those actions towards officials, and I refuse to support this coach. He was a bad hire at the beginning and he needs to be gone now.
(Oh, if you're wondering why I haven't posted here in a while, EFF stopped paying me. Hopefully the checks will start coming in soon)
