CFB Coaching Changes: LSU loses OC, fires DC

[t-gator]

Sadly, that is why I fear nothing will change, even after tater and his dad are fired. We'll just do the same bargain bin basement shopping we always do. Strangely enough we shop in the bargain bin, but pay retail prices. Gotta love the Florida UAA.

I don't think you have to hire an expensive big named guy to be successful. I don't think it's because we're looking for a younger coach. I think it's who we've got looking for a younger coach.

I just find it mind blowing they aren't bkinkijgnst paying 75 million. If I was Jimbo, I'd never work another second on my life.

It's a profound lack of imagination AND diligence on the part of the UAA brain trust.

On GatorChatter alone, there's 40 or 50 experienced guys, former head coaches at SEC schools who overcame some adversity, led their teams to SEC conferences, and retired when they got bored.

They KNOW EXACTLY how to fix everything that's wrong in Gatordom, because they've BEEN THERE & DONE THAT. It's EASY if you know what you're doing.

And Strickland won't hire any of them.

Makes no sense.

They’re coming after Napier!

aTm despite having huge money has never won jack sht and their fans don't expect to win titles, they just want to be competitive. despite that they at least make moves with some energy. poaching a coach with a natty, then canning his ass when he doesn't win another one despite top 5 classes is how it's done. if you're gonna strike out, at least do so swinging hard.

We step up to the plate with 2 strikes and attempt a soft bunt for a foul ball and strike 3. I'd love to see us can a dude not getting it done right after a large win. We do the opposite. Napier can suck dck all year but somehow slip up and win a game at the end of the year and Stricklin would be on his knees for him the next morning.

Their fans may have low expectations, but the guys with the big checkbooks do not. I expect whoever gets hired next won’t have the window that Jimbo did.

It sounds crazy to guys like us, but the reality is if you gave a few billionaires backing your program you really are set. The $100M it will take to dump Jimbo and staff and hire a new one is doable for say 3 or more billionaires.

The saga of Jimbo Fisher also torpedoes that often quoted excuse that you have to give a guy at least 5 years to get his guys in and build a program and all that baloney. He was there for 5+ years, recruited well, yet A&M has zero to show for it and is arguably worse than when he arrived.

BN needs to go get Durkin, Jeff Scott,and Sam Pittman this December. All are quality coaches and can recruit. Before Jeff Scott was known as Billy”s friend to GN, he was the ace recruiter and called the plays for Clemson. He recruited Lawrence, Watson, D-Hop, Mike Williams, and many of their stars on offense when they had the Run of Championships. Since leaving for USF, the offense and recruiting at Clemson has not been the same. If BN is getting until 2025, load up on quality assistants. When/if he gets fired, UF will have to over 11 million a year to poach a proven winner at the P5 level that will not be fired on the inter webs before his introductory press conference, might as well pay for quality assistants now, maybe this cluster f can be salvaged. BN will need to be nudged in this direction, hopefully for the sake of the program, he gets it.

Another one bites the dust. It's a Greg Knoxaissance the rest of the year.

The hits keep coming

 

[FireFoley]

Well Arnett got all of a bowl game last year and less than one full season. Guess Cowbell saw enough. I do believe he is a decent DC though so I expect him to land on his feet.

Who knows Cowbell better than Cousin Eddie and Strichnine?

 

[fischerwood]

I personally think UF is the only job he would come back out of retirement for. I think he'd even reject Notre Dame.

I think his wife would nix that idea...she was not happy here...

 

[williston_gator]

Not a firing, but:

that's because he was in his insatiable workaholic/stress/anxiety period 24/7 and was also banging coeds with her knowledge. what wife would like that?

 

[MertzJay26]

Mississippi State has higher standards than us now, huh?
