No way he has a losing season, loses the Egg Bowl, and still retains his job IMO. Looks like a new QB will be taking snaps and that won't help much. I don't see anyone on their roster as good as Masoli, which means they will need vastly improved line play along with a better defense. Playing a bunch of true freshman is going to make for an uphill battle, if they choose to do that.

Everyone can make all the excuses they want. Losing assistants, UM opening up the checkbooks, law firms this, law firms that. But the bottom line is, we 17ed this up and I can only hope it is a lesson well learned. However, Dan didn't just ride in on a turnip truck yesterday. I have confidence this will not happen again, or, he will just laugh it off and continue to coach the hell out of the players he does bring in and kick *** with them. That will allow him to continue to give the old one finger salute to his rivals.
