Our loss. I met Coach Gerald and if he had a fault it was that he tried too hard, and he was very tough on his players. I don't know what happened, maybe he pushed his players too hard and that ticked the head coach off. KKOG New reported that coach Locksley will sit out the UNLV game. If this is some sort of punshment, couldnt it wait until after the season is over. Coach Locksley and Coach Krebs have had their hands full with all the changes in the offence and defence. In addition, to other changes at the stadum that were needed no credit is given to Coach Krebs for all he has done -- They are good changes and had to be made to keep UNM competitive. After saying all of this, its not fair to keep coach Locksley on a string until the end of the season. The coach needs time to find another job coaching. There is no harm in paying two coachs on administrative leave. UNM would look a lot better in the long run. I know what ever coach Krebs and our President decides will be in the best interest for the university. I only hope we can get on with football and set policys that are clear in HR for contracts that benefit all. I love this university and support it the best I can and wish I could do more. jld P.S. After all the things said about Coach Locksley, it will be hard for him to be accepted in the community. They will hang every thing on him. Its too bad. but we must go on. Its harder on the players and the young men coming to NM. We need to pick up the pieces and make something out of all this. It’s too bad we lost a good coach in Gerald. Our loss.
