Sparky, Brad and Will had a losing season and had losing seasons 2 of their last 3 years as coach and all were fired after year 5. (Lou was the exception but his losing seasons were 5-6 records and he was close to retirement)

Shane has had a losing season in 2 of the last 3 seasons in year 5. Unacceptable then and unacceptable today.

Apparently, Beamer is the best we can do. Our fans actually believe that. For a fan base that has thrived almost exclusively on hope, it seems it's finally been broken. The fans no longer even hope to be good. It has been accepted that there's not a single attainable coach in all of American football who could do better.

I wonder if you adjusted for inflation what their salaries would be today.

I think the holdouts are people who keep looking to last year, and thinking how close we were to the playoffs.

I've said before, last year earned him some goodwill. That part cant be ignored.

I just thought that goodwill would last longer. He really pissed it away faster than I thought he could.

We were really only close to the playoffs in some of our own fans minds. No 3 loss team is going to be in the playoff.

The holdouts are the people who still believe the preseason hype about the team and Sellers.

Agreed completely. We were as close to turning the LSU game into a W (and making the playoffs) as we were turning the ODU game into a loss. Imo
