The NEXT Coach

[bigpig]

I remember when everyone wanted Fleck. It was couple of years ago. He, apparently, was a flash in the pan. We will probably choose a flash in the pan. Someone who is doing good this year, but will fail miserably here.

We're far more likely to hire a former flash in the pan that no one else wants anymore

Nabors says we whiffed on Franklin. Is anyone but VT even trying to hire the guy?

Who would have ever thought that he'd balk so hard at $7 million per year!?

[Show-Me Hog]

Yup.  I was in that boat (pun intended).  I'd argue that the program would probably have been better with him than Sam.  However, he's not as good of a coach as I had thought at the time... like you said, flash in a pan.

Or maybe programs like Minnesota & Arkansas have a ceiling, and it was 2010-11 that was the flash in the pan.

[Barton Fink]

Commitment to win by the administration and the ability to win at the program will outweigh coaches salaries now. Salaries for assistant coaches will be important as well.

[HogWildPigCrazy]

Just hire Bobby. This shit ain't hard to figure out. We're hang points on people. Give him a chance to fix the defense. Why is there any hesitation? Every time we need a coach all the stupid people start naming A list coaches like they're really going to entertain the idea of coming here. Bobby has unfinished business and will be focused.

In our hearts, we know you're right.

This.  He should have been recruiting players and assistants this whole time.

I'm coming around to this. He's the best coach that actually wants the job. Name him HC before the Texas game.

Just support the opposite of what HTL wants, and you have the right answer.

That's it!! What a faggot.

[Piggielicious]

What a faggot.

Assume the opposite of what he says. He projects.

[Spiderham]

I think Green is working his ass off to make certain Bobby P has no shot at the job.

and the OL and defense

[AporkalypseNow]

Amazing we continue to repeatedly snatch defeat from the jaws of victory game after game and people still want Bobby

"Throwing up points on people"... we put up 22 today, that's not enough in the modern era in the SEC

And 7 of those came from the blocked punt.

[buff2.0]

Top 5 offense in the SEC even with the head case QB.  No one yet has listed a viable alternative to Bobby that isn't pure retardium.

I understand. We had some good times, back then. That was a long time ago with a different Bobby and a different era of football.

[Lurk]

To quote the great Arkansan and American "At this point, what difference does it make?".

We just passed Vanderbilt as the worst team in the league over the past 12 years. I don't know how you get past that.

Agree, I will always appreciate and be grateful for Bobby and angry at Jeff Long.

I was a season ticket holder then even living in DFW, dropped the tickets at that point.

Petrino failed at Louisville in his 2nd stent and didn't do much at Missouri St.

Would I take him back as OC?  Sure.  He'll be 65, maybe he could hang in a few more years.

Who do I want as head coach? Take a shot on someone who could be the real deal and make us the next Indiana, not another "has been" or "never was".

Morris really fucked up the psyche of our fanbase. He was an awful hire and completely undeserving of the opportunity. If we hired someone with a 14-22 record at a mid-level again, I'd be pissed. We can do better, but have to take a risk.
