Shouldn’t be but i don’t trust AD yet to make any move. We were sold on the idea of continuity and it hasn’t panned out that way so far. If the bowl streak ends, do a real search and start over next season during the supposed upcoming rebuilding year.
Yea if we he makes it to 7 I'll be willing to give home a shot saying that's good for first year. 5-7 from 9 wins is tough even if he is a new coach. But that's our own fault for hiring an inexperienced head coach. Also on him for changing things up. Although offense looked like much of old last night. The defense however, no excuse for it to be this bad. None
The sec is mediocre… vandy is bad. We are below mediocre but better than vandy. We are going to need a team to have a bad game while we have a good one. Every sec team we play from here out will be more talented and/or much better coached.
Agree. But is it worse than our defense? A fifth win is going to be an upset if it happens. Maybe we can knock off UK and/or OM at home?
I agree but I fear it’s just delaying the inevitable when you consider how many seniors are leaving. I’m normally one of the last to call for coach changes, but his situation is unique and should have a shorter leash.
I'm telling you, he's getting fired without a doubt at 4-8. 5-7 or 6-6 we'll MSU it into a contract extension. 7 and all is good for him.
This could be our window to can Keenum. He made this hire.
No it’s not. Keenum needs to be fired for a lot of reasons. But it’s not going to happen.
I mean…. He’s not gonna fire himself, if that’s what you mean.
How many times in the last 25+ years has a P5 coach been fired after one season? Only one I can think of is John L. Smith, and he was hired in the summer due to the Petrino scandal and was basically an interim HC without the title.
Arnett wouldn't have this job had not died right before signing day and with the portal. 5 years ago no way in hell do the promote him to full time with that little of experience. We just won the egg bowl and then leach died so keenum snd bracky were emotional and worried about the class falling apart. The problem with that is if we don't finish well we will still lose a bunch of guys to portal.
Regardless of how he got the job, he's not getting fired this year. There's also the fact we didn't have an athletic director then (I'm not sure we have one now).
The idea that a university president should be fired over athletic hires is too much to process.
I mean I get what you're saying but he literally hired the football coach
Serious question: What instances are there that anyone is aware of where coaches were canned after just one season for on field performance? If so what was the program and what was the record? The only one that comes immediately to mind for me is Ellis Johnson at southern who went 0-12.
People seem to forget there was no search or hiring process here. This isn't the usual, we can't fire a coach after one year. He should be trying to prove he deserves this opportunity. I hope he does. But this isn't a situation like we've seen before.
That's part of my point. He wasn't hired under normal circumstances. His interim was lifted in a week. No many coaches are hired in the way he was after a coach died. So I feel like this is his true interim period. They just took that tag off for recruiting purposes only. Let him cosch this year while doing a search. If he does great, keep him. If not have your man lined up ready to go at the end of the season
You can fire a coach at any time. The questions not can we fire him or even should we fire him. The question is would we fire him. We won’t.
To be fair, 25% of those stats are against State. We are the only offense that exceeded 500 yards, and we did it in their stadium.
Central Michigan. Usm. And maybe Kentucky at home. Maybe. Can't see TAMU auburn Ark on the road. Ole miss likely to score 60 on this defense unless they just play a bad game on offense and throw picks like Arizona
