Please fire him. He shouldn’t make it through the season, which I know won’t happen, but there’s NO reason to keep this staff another season.
They money you will save from avoiding an empty stadium. And a big drop in donations.
Won't happen during the season. He should get a chance to right the ship. And it won't get any better with an assistant in charge from this group.
I really don't believe that is true... I also do not believe they are getting any real money from tickets unless it is corporate purchases...
You should have sent $285K to help TU get new coaches and NIL.
@I.I. I guess that firing now is kind of pointless. Kind of like it was pointless with Rader.
But what do you think we SHOULD do? Just take what's on offer and be thankful for it? The pregame carnival then just plan on losing from here on out?
Just because they have a large endowment, doesn't mean they have the money. That endowment can't be touched for paying buyout and new coaches salary, or anything else athletic.
If we don't have money for athletics, then how the f*** are we getting tailgates that are essentially mini carnivals with free food, booze, and concerts? And people don't even have to attend the game to get in?
That stuff doesn't end up costing near as much as coaches buyouts and salaries. I'd bet that stuff costs 300k per season, for all 6 games.
When they started doing that it was mentioned on this board, multiple times, the cost was 1-1.5M PER tailgate.
Fairly sure Huffy is the one who dropped that figure. Maybe it was one game and I misunderstood. Either way, it's money not spent on anything other than good will. Which will only be taken advantage of. It ain't going to get us better recruits or make us money. Winning does that. Which requires competent staff with a vision. And facilities to keep up with the Jones.
I don't remember hearing that, and I don't believe that's true. But if it is, then they should be spending some of that money in other places.
Todd Graham!!!1 I’ve heard this is his true real dream job!
Yea, I’m done. I am so embarrassed after that display. Disgusting.
Get him out right now
Get him out right now
I'll take any coach who is UNCOMFORTABLE with losing with a fire in his belly.
Wilson strokes the outside edges of his mouth every press conference with a distant stare saying "happy with the way our guys competed and didn't quit". That's loser talk... How can that fat old man inspire anything but mediocrity?
100%. Dickson screwed this hire up
So bad. We need to see what this new AD is made of. Yesterday was the most embarrassed I’ve been since the burns days
To me , he seems like he just took this as a “ retirement job” to coast into retirement
As I mentioned last night, if you didn’t see this coming then you haven’t been paying attention. Montgomery didn’t know what he was doing and this guy is even worse.
Now even Heff is off the bandwagon, and he was probably the last one riding it out.

I was the last guy hanging onto the back of the titanic before it went under
There for awhile, I was afraid that I was going to have to pull out one of your classic quotes about giving the coach a little tug. Now it sounds like that won’t be necessary.
Yous it
agreed. The guys quit last night and that’s the most alarming part. I think he lost the locker room officially
It’s been 7 years, but I did have every one of your inappropriate posts reported and deleted except for one, which was spared for potential future cut and paste potential. I don’t think we need to use it now.
The wheels came off about this time last year, when a 3 & 2 team went down to Florida Atlantic and acted like they were scared to go out and play in the rain. It hasn’t been the same since.
Wait, so you think he will turn it around? Based on what? The d coordinator should be canned also.
Yea the team has quit and my guess is he’s completely lost any of the locker room he had left
I was off the bandwagon when coach was an A-hole to the few reporters who actually cared enough to give us some occasionally decent coverage.
I recall saying “if he starts having trouble winning games, he’s not going to be treated with kid gloves by the media”
You were off the bandwagon when they didn't hire Kinne. Bragging about how early you were off the bandwagon isn't the best look. You stayed on the Monty bandwagon almost till the bitter end. That's a funny dichotomy of you being a boy with no answers. You were a Monty fan, and a Manning fan. I find it funny when a coach is possibly failing, how you brag on yourself like you had the answers all the way along. You revel among the detritus.
My God, I'd forgotten about that game... That was the worst bookend imaginable to the TU / SMU rivalry before they left for the ACC. I remember he kept the same damn QB in series after series when the game was already 40+ points out of reach... There's little else to say that isn't obvious... I'm now more fearful that we're going to lose the remaining semblance of a fanbase while the admins wait out his contract before making another pedestrian hire. TU used to be so much fun to cheer for... The little guy fighting off the giants and sometimes slaying them to the chagrin of the bluebloods... Now we can't even get the edge over C-USA / MAC / Sunbelt teams.
I have a picture of the Notre Dame-TU game scoreboard never thinking TU would not continue being competitive at least occasionally with P5 teams.
