I haven't read Jeff's post so I don't really know either.

I think I follow bomb on Twitter but he has a different handle on there. He was going off on Jeff about an article apparently badmouthing CS. Jeff had a small handful of anonymous coaches who must've been negative towards CS and Bomb was letting him have it. I believe the article is on a pay site.

I'm still alive. I actually read the board often, I just post less because of work. 

I hope everyone is having a great holidays.

The problem I have with Howe is that there's 20,000 Texas HS football coaches. He decided to base an entire report on an anonymous few. This is why people think 247 has an agenda. When there's such a big source base, why not quote some sources that want to go on record? 

I wouldn't even have a problem with the report if Howe would have quoted a few coaches that wanted to put their names behind quotes. Instead, Howe based an entire report/narrative on a select few who wanted to remain anonymous. 

After the Gilbert debacle with Burton I have a difficult time giving 247 the benefit of the doubt. I'm not surprised this piece was written by 247 when other sites like Scout, OB, IT, HS are more interested in recruiting news as NSD approaches.

I don't think there's a doubt certain Texas HS coaches dislike Strong. Just like certain HS coaches dislike Sumlin, Herman, and Briles. I just find it disingenuous on Howe's part to frame the discussion around a select few  that don't even want to put their names behind quotes. You're telling me out of 20,000 Texas HS football coaches Howe can't find one source to give quotes with their name? 

I get that certain sources want to stay anonymous (especially if they are bad mouthing college coaches). BUT, when you base an entire report/narrative on less than 1 percent of the source base who won't even put their names on record....... it makes Howe look like there's an agenda. I'm sure I can go find 5 or 10 coaches pretty easily that are willing to bad mouth almost every coach in the state, but I'm surely not going to write an entire article and or frame a narrative around an anonymous few. My biggest issue is that after the Gilbert hire, I lost almost all respect for 247 with how Burton handled the situation.

This was posted by Gordosan over at 247 (pretty much summarizes my feelings) 

[SIZE=1.1em]"[/SIZE][SIZE=1.1em]No internet pay forum actually reports truly accurate news. . The reports have limited sources; and will gladly echo those sources without doing any fact checking like traditional news sights did a couple of decades ago. They do it for several resaons. First and foremost they want to sell subscriptions. Secondarily, they have limited sources and will do what they have to to keep those insiders happy and feeding them. There was a time that major news agencies tried to be neutral, but now all news agency now have a hidden agenda; be it the WaPo, the NYT, the WSJ, NBC or Fox. They all slant the news. But they at least attempt to have a fascade of neutrality. Internet forums don't have that tradition. [/SIZE][SIZE=1.1em]In my opinion, their is little question that there are factions inside of Bellmont and the donor base that want Strong gone. Its also little question that 247 is channeling their message to keep those "sources". I can live with Jeff's article, though it was slanted in a way to paint a very negative picture of Strong. The problem is that it was piggy-backed on the insipid anti-Strong campaign that was repeatedly posted during the O.C. campaign. The juxtaposition probably isn't an accident. [/SIZE][SIZE=1.1em]There is an agenda at play. There is virtually no question that's the case. . The moderators are echoing that agenda. My only question is why, especially during the closing phase of this recruiting cycle."[/SIZE]

Bomb I saw you get into it with an aggie about the article. You said you were defending stumblin but the ag was too dumb to understand. Was there something in the Jeff article about stumblin

Yes, the article also trashed Sumlin. 

One of my biggest issues with the article is it makes Texas HS football coaches look bad. When you take the opinion of an anonymous few and pass it off as the opinion of all Texas HS football coaches, people perceive Texas HS football coaches in a negative manner. I grew up around Texas HS football and know plenty of coaches that would never make comments like that, especially without putting their names behind it. 

I'm just not a fan of how the article was written. When there's 20,000 Texas HS football coaches there's no need to write sweeping generalizations about coaches based on quotes from an anonymous few.
