Yep. I agree with the argument that college football is a business and coaches should be held accountable quick.
I only see 1 SEC win possibility and that's the last game of the season. We're not winning at Fayetteville, AR or Columbia, MO which we have a slight possibility of making it reasonably close (like 1-2 TDs)
Should have offered Petrino a huge contract. His talent evaluation alone would save a lot of nil money.
While I understand this thought based on last year’s results. I also think it was an interesting move adding Paul Rhodes, Mike MacIntyre and Dancy to the defensive staff. The upgrade of coaching along with the front 7 talent added from the portal should help
Yes. I think you give him one more year unless no improvement on the field. If we're not where we want then he let's DC go. We're following same playbook as baseball. Year 3 if no Improvement then we let him go during the season
We also have to do something sooner than later. Worst case scenario is they go back to sitting out a year for transfer and we swap coaches. We need to change if we're going to before that happens and seems that may be in the cards. That being said, we'd need to pull a sitting HC so we can pull players.
This is one of the dumbest lines of thought that gets repeated on this board all the time. We fired a coach after 2 years & 2 bowl games and hired Mike Leach. You seriously think anyone on the coaching world would look at a job where they fired a coach after 2-10 3-9 & think, you kind I might be interested but they should have given him more time. Ridiculous.
I think a lot of coaches out there would like to receive an SEC salary, including the vast majority of successful G5 coaches. Do you think Jason Candle wouldn't take a huge pay raise to come to Starkville?
Look competitive and competent. Our schedule, at least from how it looks preseason, does not lend itself to assuming many wins. Some clear indication that we are coached well enough on both sides of the ball to resemble a football team is needed.
Minimum, no regression on record and much better D and in game decision making
Yes, I would have assumed that 5-7 would be good enough for me to be onboard with a year 3, but when the schedule turned out to be a lot easier than I expected, my standards went up.
