The NEXT Coach

[Barton Fink]

We should have fired Pittman last year and spared us this season but like always we have to approach our coach's with kid gloves and because they are nice let them stick around a little longer and that is what's killing us. Why HY thought keeping Sam around another year was a good idea I have no idea. How the fuck going into this season did they think our DC staff was capable of us being ranked. Remember how Pittman said we should have been ranked at the beginning of the season and he would prove us all wrong? That fat fuck is mentally ill

Better yet, Pittman was very unhealthy and needed hip surgery. We were at least 6-6 and in a bowl game. Let him step down due to health and negotiate a buyout.

You'd think they'd learned their lesson on hiring G5 coaches from Louisiana. I don't see him as a better option than Golesh. Equal.

He's done good at Tulane but it's not like Willie Fritz won a Cotton Bowl there two years before Sumrall took over or anything.

he was delusional and I'm almost positive telling HY how great we would be this year and he believed the lie. How you had a defensive staff that bad going into the season and didn't make changes tells me everything about Sam. He sucks ay coaching

He definitely walked into a great situation.

Worse.  He allows Joe fucking Craddock of Left Lane, Hammer Down infamy to call plays and run his offense.

If Florida hires him they'll be pining for the glory days of the Dan Mullen era within a year or two.

That hire can't make the UF fanbase happy. There's just not many great candidates out there.

HY and Pittman were smart enough to know the fanbase was irate until Petrino announced coming back as OC and that made a lot of us able to stomach another year.

It's the AD's job to know when it's time to move on rather than make a move like that.

You would think schools would wake up and  quit giving a coach a huge raise and new contract with huge buyout, after one good season. If the coach wants to leave after that season, let another team have him. I wonder how Vandy is going to do after their QB is gone. OM probably offering Kiffin something they think he can't refuse. Fuck these guys. Let them leave. Why should the school go into that much debt to retain someone who could leave next season.

Other than Bobby, we have never given a raise and an extension to a coach the ended up earning his new salary. They always end up getting canned and leaving the program worse than how he found it.

So yeah: Stop giving raises and extensions after a year. If the coach leaves, so be it. We'll hire another. He'll have his one good year and leave and we'll hire another.

Same results but with far less money spent.

What is this infatuation with Bobby's offensive prowess?  Coaching over scheme every time.  He has been outcoached in every game he's led and many prior to Sam's firing.  Yardage doesn't win games.  Discipline, ball security, penalty free ball win games.  Bobby had sucked at that.  With his players.  He has been outcoached every game. Made dumb decisions.  Terrible game awareness.  A few adjustments by opponents at halftime and he has been shutdown in the the second half every week.  I'm tired of that shit. That's what it is.  Shit.  And you're eating it out of a dog bowl.

All this co coach or Bobby for OC talk.  Stupid. What instance has that kind of. Hit ever worked in biz or sports or anything? Any coach who would accept that shitty situation is so stupid we dont want him. 

I don't think the second half woes are a valid critique in this case.  If you watch the tape and the myriad film breakdowns, the plays are there... the issue is that in the second half the defenses pressure TG more, realizing that he gets frazzled easily and starts making bad decisions.  It's consistent.  Each time TG starts feeling more pressure he regresses.  Reads and throws he has made many times before he suddenly doesn't... and holds the ball too long.  A fair critique may be that he should have benched TG for KJ Jackson, and maybe that is correct.  I don't think we've seen enough of him to know.  My guess is, like FNG has said several times, Bobby felt TG was the best chance at success.  Bobby sees practice and knows who knows the playbook.  It COULD be that he was being stubborn (as he's known to do) and played his guy not wanting to undermine confidence.  It COULD also be that TG was the best chance to win.  We don't know, but that is a fair critique. 

I'll allow that some of the clock management in a few games was highly suspect.  That's fair.  I don't mind the going for it on 4th down aggression.  We'd be bitching if he didn't and just punted / settled for the FG and still lost by 3.

Lots of coaches take the title stuff... all across the industry and even at UofA.  To say it doesn't work is just silly.  It's a title.  Will it happen here?  Most likely not.  I was simply saying from a risk analysis standpoint and for the value proposition, it would make some sense if we're getting an unproven commodity.  Having BP as an OC mitigates risk, since he has plenty of HC experience both in SEC and outside, as well as plenty of coordinator experience IN the SEC.  That's a benefit to a HC that doesn't.

I get that you're pissed, we all are.  However, let's not let emotionality make decisions when rationality and logic produce better results.  We're a message board... not the UofA BOT.  We actually CAN make rational decisions.

I don't know that anyone has ever claimed to know more, while actually knowing less, than Scott "Duckman" Biles

Why the fuck are you talking about yardage like we haven't scored points?  We are SECOND IN THE SEC IN SCORING IN SEC GAMES, AGAINST SEC TEAMS.  All the other stuff might be legit, but we fucking score points. The problem is we give up a metric fuckload of points.

As for Penalties, outside of one game where we got fucked by the refs worse than any razorback game this century, we were in the top 4-5 least penalized teams in the conference.

Again, you can not like the guy, but you don't have to be a retard about it.

I'm about to pull up to his RV place and fuck with him.

[Barton Fink]

Wrll said passed. Thats my sentiment as well.

Golesh is 0-2 against Memphis. He should fit right in.

He's 0-3 against Memphis.

[Son of Spam]

He's 0-3 against Memphis.

Even better.
