We’re Back! And By The Way, We Have a Coach

SFN has been overloaded with traffic the past few weeks. We’ve hit records that have TRIPLED our previous record. Over the past month, we’ve had nearly 400,000 unique visitors. We had a single day record of 28,161 unique visitors yesterday (reporting for today isn’t yet over – but I expect our prolonged downtime will not overtake yesterday’s record). For the books, our previous record 10,135 unique visitors on October 12, 2010 (Carolina scandal). After some much needed maintenance, hopefully we’re back on track.

Oh by the way, we have a coach. Welcome Coach Gottfried! Expect analysis from the SFN crew on Mark Gottfried, Debbie Yow, Gary Williams, and the search in general as stories are confirmed in the coming days.

In case you’re wondering, yes, FireMarkGottfried.com was registered today (not by us). It may not be what you think it is.

    I’m so “with ya”, BP! I was initially disappointed yesterday when the news broke because I was really holding out hope that by some miracle, DY landed a home-run hire (namely convinced Sean or BD to come at the last minute)! But I’m looking at the bright side today. Other than Sean Miller or BD, I wasn’t overly excited about the other rumored guys on the list, even RB, honestly. This one was a shocker and blind-sided us all. But in the end, maybe he’s the best guy for us at this stage, now that reality about our program has set in. I’d be willing to bet that if DY had to do it over again, that email would have never gone out. I think it would have been far better to have just had the presser without that email having gone out.

    As for Gottfried, at least he has the guts to step up to the plate and take the big swing for the fence with a full count, no runners on base, down 1 run, and with two outs. I liked his demeanor and sincerity yesterday. I’m literally PRAYING for his success given his willingness to step in when no one else seemed to want to! Let’s rally behind him!
