If Mac fails to work out, should Foley be fired?

[oxrageous]

Logical question with no hate attached. That would make it 3 out of the last 4 head coaching hires that were disasters. Should he be held accountable?

Discuss.

Only if we fail to win that all-sports trophy thingy. That's more important than football. I'd vote ham sammich, but it ain't an option. Bad poll is bad.

I would say yes, but I don't think would happen. He might retire though.

The red flag was raised when there was no payout clause in Muschamp's contract. We are still paying him.

 

[EyeDocGator]

I'm going to say no because we would probably end up with someone worse.

 

[heavychevy]

gone. not hard to find decent coaches in the other sports. spend money, plain and simple.

 

[WobbleGator]

Probably.

He would still have a better succes rare than Ox does on selecting mods.

After year one we are already predicting him gone? Look we may have overachieved this year by winning 10 games. How do you judge a person on what he has yet to do; when his history shows that he is a winner? We are not talking about Muschimp here that had no record as a HC or even a good DC record. We are talking about someone who has shown he know WTF he is doing. With all that being said, yeah it should be Foley's fault since he gave us the last few duds as HC.

Where's my

I need to eat something while I watch us retain Foley and he gives Mac an extension.

 

[oxrageous]

I'm hoping we don't find out what's in Mac's buyout anytime soon. Foley probably gave him part ownership of the University.

I am surprised that ox created this topic. He probably retires and let's the new AD hand pick his guy. If he refuses to take the wink, wink retirement idea...yes, you fire him instead of letting him screw up another football hire(which he hasn't really done yet).

 

[MidwestChomp]

Ox is baiting clicks now.

I like what Foley has done and believe that he is one of the best, if not the best, AD's in the country. But if Mac fails he should take ownership, outside half the team being injured in some fluke ways, multiple years. We have many successful programs outside of football, he should get credit/blame for those too.
He may be a bargain shopper, as others allude to, but I believe that he takes fiscal responsibility serious. I agree with this philosophy. Too may people in our world think that just because they can borrow, that they should. That leaves others to pay the debt that ultimately is defaulted on. I also believe borrowing for an investment that will pay off (more than cover the cost of borrowing with a nice profit margin) is sound thinking.
But let's just give him a couple more years to show what he can do before we label him the second coming of Muschamp.

Maybe someone can shed some light on Sully's hiring. The guy we had before was decent, but just couldn't keep us in the SEC or Natty race. Was Sully a bargain basement find that Foley lucked up on? Or was he a "show me the money" hire?

Where is the "should have been fired after Zook" option?

Nice AV brad.
