Agree. The XM guys said the people saying no to Stoops are idiots. They said they need to realize what their program is, which is a 3-4 loss program every year. They’ve only won 10 games twice in the last 25 yrs.

Funny thing is…those same fans forget that Clemson wasn’t sh*t until he got there.
I feel a personal connection, although very tenuous. Mike Elko’s father was a very close friend of my father. Don’t remember much other than he loved to play pinochle and drink beer.
Okay, I’m officially off the fire Franklin train. Also off the hope for beating UM/OSU train. Just gonna live with the ceiling. Honestly - if A&M and their giant bag of money can’t do better than a mid hire while fans revolt, we probably wouldn’t either. Just please no Tulane in the bowl. Please.

It’s always OBVIOUSLY important that a Head Coach not accept any blame himself and transfer ALL the blame to one of his staff!
His offense was too simple for Nardouce's standards.
Watch that first step. It's a doozy.Okay, I’m officially off the fire Franklin train. Also off the hope for beating UM/OSU train too. Just gonna live with the ceiling.

He looks like the second coming of Abe Gibron.
I know some here were worried about this....

As far as IU's AD lamenting "lost momentum", got news for him: can't lose what you never had, dipstick!
Coaching news. Day has a ticket but not on the carousel just yet . Nice snarky taunt .

Graduated from Cedar Crest in Lebanon . James should get him a paid advisor or asst to the asst to the asst AD slot
Or at least an asst. to the traveling secretary!
Better check sentence #2. Fwiw, I'm for status quo. But, hang with me here....I actually am willing to admit that Franklin is much better suited to make the decision.....than I am or even you and the CAC!
Almost as obvious as fans blaming every loss on the HC or officials.

Reich fired by Panthers after 11 games: 'It hurts'
The Panthers have fired coach Frank Reich after just 11 games, in which Carolina was an NFL-worst 1-10. Chris Tabor has been named the interim coach.
www.espn.com
”Reich told the Observer that he wasn't done with coaching, but he added "this is probably the final chapter of my NFL journey."”
How old are you? For that matter, how old am I that I get the reference and find it funny as hell!?!?
Old enough, 66. Yeah, Abe Gibron loved his steak and potatoes.
Jimbo laughs at Reichs buy out.
Tom Allen got like $20 million….this sport is f*cking insane. Harbaugh said he’d take less if it mean players got more. And we wonder why his team is full of guys who came back instead of left early.
So, if someone is better suited to make a decision than you, you believe that person’s decision is beyond your reproach. Interesting.
No - it’s not the sport - it’s the business around the sport. The business around the sport is not controlled by the ADs, nor the fans (much to Harrisburdave’s chagrin)
It’s controlled by a small group of well heeled donors who either control, or heavily influence decisions on coaching hiring and firing. The $20MM that Allen was promised (since reduced to $15MM in negotiation) is probably split amongst a few well heeled donors, and I would imagine there may even be a tax advantage for the payout.
It's both the purest form of capitalism and elitism wrapped around a sport.
So, Mark Stoops, the coach who has taken Kentucky football to consistent success like it’s never seen before wasn’t good enough for the fan base or boosters, but Elko, the second year coach at Duke, is? What am I missing? I know Elko was DC there for awhile, but his head coaching acumen isn’t very experienced. Am I totally missing something?
