As for your boy Fickell, NO ONE, NOT ONE of the dozen openings show ANY interest in all in that dolt. His name doesn't even get mentioned as being on a list. He's a running joke around the country. Programs view Napier as Nick Saban in comparison.
And your point is?

Fickell is on the verge of getting his G5 Team to the playoff,
You don’t think he’s told his agent, Not now!
?

Fickell is Will Mushdump very very light.

As I’ve stated several times, Kiffen would be my second choice.

Fickell is the best coach available right now.
He doesn’t get a sniff?

I gladly eat crow if Billy builds us back to where we should be,

Gladly.

Fickell and Kiffin are your "better candidates"?

At least swing for the fences and say Saban and Belichick. Fickell and Kiffin are jokes.

Well, If you’re looking for a coach that has taken a G5 team into South Bend and won and is sitting at 12-0 headed to the playoff, why not Fickell?

What is Billy’s signature win?
Coastal Carolina or App state?

I’ve never seen Ox use boldface, all caps or exclamation points as much as this thread. Anyone able to spare some Lisinopril?

Should I bring up UGA and their 62nd ranked passing game again?

It is total nonsense you need a top-10 offense to win in the SEC. Hell, defense is probably more important towards winning in the SEC than offense.

Would you prefer Big 12 48-45 type scores than we would have under Kiffin?

To be fair, UGA hasn't won anything yet. But when your defense leads the nation in points allowed and yards allowed, you can get away with a mediocre passing game.

Suckeyes
2010 12-1 (Tressel)
2011 6-7 (Fickel)
2012 12-0 (Meyer)

The goal is to hire a 12 win coach not a 6 win coach.

Laughable
Guy get a shot as an Interim coach and you use his record against him,

What has your guy done at the P5 level?

Oh that’s right, he’s never been a head coach,
Why don’t you STFU and sit in the corner as adults discuss actual head coaches.

He would love to hire Kiffin. He's already said it. :whistle:

Fickell is at a school that has done pretty well on the field and in recruiting over the last two decades. They've had some lean years but they also have handful of 10+ wins season prior to Fickell. Fickell is doing well but he's not doing anything that has never been done before.

Napier went to a school that had never won 10 games in their history and was a bottom feeder in that conference but has completely turned it around. He took a team that was 9th in the Sun Belt in recruiting to the team that has had the #1 Sun Belt class the last 3 years.

I don't hate Fickell, I just personally think Napier is the better candidate.

This is actually a pretty good game and Appy State (edit ARK State, Bitch Jones) is a good team with similar talent.

I actually like the Cajun defense pretty well. Maybe no need to "upgrade" the DC. He is no doubt better than the shtt we've had or have.

Despite the hand-wringing, rebuilding the defense at UF is more important than the offense right now.

This is an immediate upgrade. And we would actually be playing some outside linebackers again, which is nice because we have a ton of them.

If Donkey can come around, anyone can.
