I just love it when our QB throws 3 interceptions in the first half and four days later some are calling for the DC's head. Our defense is young and they are still learning the nuances of our defense. Until they are affluent in their knowledge of our schemes they cannot truly unleash their athleticism and just go play ball. To me it is very apparent that the talent is there, that the coaching is there but the experience is lacking. You cannot coach experience.
I agree with you, Ole Miss was a bad loss. Not so sure that the Georgia loss is looking worse, though, as they are so depleted by injuries now and not the same team we played. I understand the sentiment.
Would we want to flounder around for 3 years? We've done it for 20 before, so I guess 3 isn't bad? I would add that TT has yet to get to the meat of their schedule.
Not only that it take a few years to see what a new coach is really like. Remember Archer was Coach of the Year his first year and we also won the SEC I think....how did that turn out?
I don't know about fired but there are plenty of programs that lose a coach and go on to do great things. You people act like good ol time out is the only one that can coach the team. Lord help us if he strokes out we may as well board up the locker rooms and just disband the program.
There is a distinct difference in firing a winning coach and replacing a winning coach who leaves for whatever reason. Yes, I know Miles isn't getting fired, but that's what the discussion was about these other coaches.
lol, I'm sure there is at least 1 but it wouldn't change anything would it, duh, hello, just hit me. Right in my own backyard. OU fired John Blake and hired good ol chicken lips, think he won the NC in his 2nd year. Before you lose your shit, no, I don't want Bob to replace your uncle. That dude has had one of the best RB's to ever come through this state riding the pine for 4 years and NO ONE knows why. oh wait, you said winning coach. Damn, so close
Shane you are right; many teams replace coaches who left on their own terms (retire or take another job) successfully (LSU replacing Saban is a prime example). However firing a winning coach is a different animal. It tells coaches that the administration and fan base are fickle and not to be trusted. It limits the pool of successors so that rather than having great coaches looking for the job you have to look for coaches who will take the risk. History has shown this to be a very tough way to go and there is little success when done. If he strokes out or decides he wants to retire or coach Dallas in the NFL or begins to lose more than he wins so earning his firing, we will have our pick of bright proven coaches clamoring for the job. If we fire him as he is situated today,you will be looking at Tubbervile or Petrino or some coordinator with little experience but a flashy bio. I would
