Strangest presser I've ever seen. Thorr should have been solo, and Bamford after. Coach Joe looked a bit uncomfortable with the whole thing. Wonder if he's thinking "what the hell did I get into here"?

Let Thorr promote the program & give Joe the resources he needs to recruit his players and ...

You obviously do not like Thorr. Hopefully he takes over as AD and I know he’ll bring a lot more to the table than Ryan Bamford.
You mentioned on an earlier post that Thorr took away your season tickets. That is plain untrue. John Nitardy was director of development and he instituted a point ...

Just another question regarding this hire and possibly the replacement,as many are suggesting, for Bamford.

What was the approval process for this hire ? were there other candidates interviewed ? Who did the interviewing ?
Per Bamford " he was on his way back from Boston a couple of weeks ago ...

steve, why don't you take a look at URI's football record over the last 15 years while he has been the AD and not just this year. How does a record of like 58 wins and 103 losses sound. So who gives a shit that they are having a good season this year.

the point i was making about the season ...

Dear Insider, so you want a person leading our football operations whose record at URI the last 15 years in a fcs division is like 58 wins and 100 losses.

Plus you think his D1 basketball program is good. his record the last 15 years is at .500.

you think this is an upgrade ! this is the new ...

Please tell me this is a joke. We think the AD from URI is the answer. he is the AD of a subdivision football program for the past 15 years. Their football program has gone no where under his control. Why do you think he has been only at two schools in his 30 years in the business, its because ...

can we please get rid of Bamford ! He has been a complete failure and you got to love his comment "Our strategy is to outpace our peers by a wide margin in an area that can significantly impact winning." so basically he is saying the best strategy to move our program forward is to spend more money ...

interesting poll results, so far over 75% think Bamford needs to go, why doesn't the university see this !!

i attended the event and got to talk to most of the coaches, my take away is that this will be the strongest coaching staff across the board that Umass has ever had. It seems as though we finally gave our head coach money to spend to get top talented assistant coaches, that can teach kids how to ...

What this game showed us, was that we are in big trouble next year as we do not have any talent on the bench. This team will be even worse next year.
Am I missing something ? Then again, we are moving to the MAC so maybe a sub par team can compete in that league. SO great move Bamford, if you can't ...

hopefully its delayed as they figure a way to get rid of Bamford. That would be a great way to get the ball rolling into the future.

Not sure why people are not screaming to get rid of Bamford . We need to let him go and let the new athletic director hire his own man to lead the football team. Bamford is the reason our football team has sucked for so many years, he is directly responsible for the program. Why are we leaving him ...
