Still no word on a DC but I really like what I am seeing from Laird so far. I was worried that he would keep status quo but it looks like he means business.
Really pleased with Laird so far.

This is what cracks me up about the undercurrent of Burke bashers on this board. What, exactly, do you think a new AD is going to do to raise more money that Burke is not currently doing? He has a great relationship with our donor base, he is on the road constantly either supporting our teams or meeting with alumni or both, and he has a staff that is dedicated to raising money constantly. So what, pray tell, do the Burke bashers believe some new AD is going to come in and do? Plant seeds for a money tree? Where is this available money that Burke and his staff have not been tapping into? They all know the assistants' pool is too low and I know one of the big priorities for Burke is to raise money to put into that pool. So, Burke bashers, please tell us, in your infinite wisdom, what would you have the new AD do that Burke is not currently doing??

This will be the lowest paid staff in the southland conf. Football will never be good, until Burke is gone. Salary for the football staff comments are not accurate.

How bad is the Southland Conference? Our champ (UCA) loses at home to New Hampshire and the next week they lose to South Dakota State 56-10. Sam Houston our second best team is humiliated by North Dakota State. Not good.

From first hand experience I don't see what more he can do for donors. Would like to see actual ideas instead of simple bashing.

In fact they presented a detailed 10 year plan to the powers that be at NSU.

There has been no announcement of a DC and nothing on here. Why would you post this? Just to let everyone know you have A secret? Juvenile!!!! Comments like this make me wonder why I still get on here.

It has been a very long time since I last posted. There has been some really good debate on the state of Demon Football. But, with the hiring of Brad Laird I have seen a positive attitude among the majority of supporters that I have spoken with. What I have not seen much of is a poster criticizing another poster for making a post. It serves no purpose. I think I may know Demon4life and I can tell you he is anything but "juvenile". In fact, if it is who I think it is, he just may be the most loyal Demon supporter that I have ever seen. His love of NSU is unconditional. If you read his earlier post, you can easily see that he is trying to be part of a solution. Though he may know who the DC is and is very excited about that situation, he is not about to usurp Coach Laird's role in making the announcement. How bout we all stay positive and give Brad some space. Looks like Smiley's hiring has already paid dividends in signing some quality JUCO people. Geaux Demons

Tremendous D hire. Very excited about the staff and everyone I've talked to seems to be energized by the hire.
Hoping we can turn this thing around and get back to playing for a playoff bid and SLC title.
