He made the dance 2 years out of six at Illinois St. which is not horrible.  Did you know his record was 7-11 in the MVC the year he was hired here?  Not exactly like Prohm's 31-2 season last year or Gregg Marshall sitting at 18-2 this year. 

I'm not taking sides, but there are many people who think we've maxed out what can be done with CKS here.  There must be some sort of reasoning behind their views.  They all don't post here but there are quite a few you see on twitter these days.

I just love the disclaimer in which the writer attempts to override what he/she just wrote:   

"...there are many people who think we've maxed out what can be done with CKS here. There must be some sort of reasoning behind their views. They all don't post here but there are quite a few you see on twitter these days."    

That sure looks to me like taking sides.     The use of the word "many" is vague.   For example, it could refer to 1%, 10% or 40% of this person's friends.   It does not necessarily mean that a large number of Vandy's fans want Stallings gone.

As I recall, that disclaimer first appeared when that writer was blatant in attempting to push Stallings out.   It seemed to try to deflect what the writer was posting:   Oh what I write is not what I really mean.   I am just an innocent bystander, just reporting what I hear.
