at least according to the Ole Miss student newspaper - the Clarion Ledger.
Kermit Davis officially fired...
- Thread starter dawgstudent
- Start date
I get that it's a business and we passed him over multiple times. But there's a part of me that will never forgive him for taking that job.
A National Texas Court Docket search has begun to find the next OM head coach.
Ole Miss needing a Beard? Not that there's anything wrong with that. **
For 2.5 million annually... I dont know, man. I hate OM as much as anyone but if your in the coaching game and if that's the job you're offered... the internal conflict would be real, but I might sell out, so I cant hold it against the guy. That said, 17 him!
I never said my feelings were rational or even fair. But I'm like Jack Cristal said he told his daughter when she was choosing a college, "You can go to any college in the country and I'll pay for it. Except one."
I was hoping he would get an extension.
Let's just be honest. If those asshats in Oxford offered any of us 2.5 mil to do our current job up there the uhaul would be in front of your house in less than 15 minutes. We can hate them in our heart but cash that check at the same time.
Coaches, players, administrators and staffers have careers just like the rest of us. And loyalty to good ole state U doesn’t always factor in. That seems so obvious to most but some seem to struggle with that reality.
UMiss just lost their best defender.
I think I made it pretty clear that of course I get all of that. I completely understand and I'm sure I'd have done the same thing in the same circumstances. But still, there's a part of me that says 17 him for taking that job.
I can't hold it against Kermit. You've got to take your chances wherever you get them.
That said, anything bad that happens for Ole Miss athletics is a huge plus in my book.

Exactly. Ole Miss granted him his second major conference opportunity & that's one more than most people thought he'd get.
I don't know... I feel like we need to honor him somehow. He just coached them to maybe their worst seasons since the 90s. Mission accomplished.
Alumnus of the year.
What in the world? How could you guys be mad at Kermit Davis?
Dude did us a SOLID.
Does anyone doubt that he was our saboteur?
He played his string out to the end just perfectly. It will take a couple of years, maybe more, for OM to recover.

I'd take a dump on the mound at dudy noble during super bulldog weekend wearing an Eli jersey if ole miss paid me 250k a year, I can't imagine what I'd do for 2.5 mil a year.
I get the idea but damn that's a lot of money.
I can appreciate both sides here. Me personally? The thought of coaching at Ole Miss makes me sick, wouldn't consider it evah and wouldn't blame a Confed who felt the same about STATE.
When your name is Kermit, you have to expect life to be tough. Just sayin'
At $2.5M/yr, it's be a little classier than U-Haul. I wouldn't lift a finger except to point which things go next.
He could have stayed at MTSU, make $750,000 to $1,000,000/ year and literally never worry about being fired. They would build a statue for him in Murfreesboro if he had stayed.
He was successful enough during his last 7 years at MTSU that he had chances to jump and could have waited for other P5 jobs with a big pay days. Instead he decided to jump for money to coach at our rival. 17 him.
He took a lot of their money and left the program much worse than he found it.
A true Bulldog if ever there was one.
Yeah for 2.5 mill I'd take the job and even wear powder blue. But I'd still be wearing my maroon and white thong under the red pants.
No coaching job is secure. And how can you be mad at a guy that destroyed anything associated with Ole Miss?
