The Elephant in the Room Part II

[animal]

I think the SEC media sees the writing on the wall at least and ferret top has been out on this coach most of the season. This thing has been green lit I feel. 

It's going to be hard to not fire Sam at this point. I think he is gonna need to show a pulse these last four games. Maybe doesn't have to win them all but probably needs 4 or 5 wins all total and I don't see where our SEC win is coming from unless we catch someone coming out flat. If we can somehow win a couple in a row and maybe get those juices flowing for a bowl game...maybe we do something but I don't think this team even wants a bowl game. You think KJ wants to get the shit kicked out of him in the Harry's Shaving Nuts Texas Bowl? Probably not. Still to avoid some measure of embarrassment it would be nice to get to six wins somehow...

The "That's on me" stuff is fine....but just remember that when a well rounded lady comes to take your keys.

I wouldn't be shocked to see Barry Odom back here with that OC and maybe keep the current defensive staff. We'll still be a 6-6 team but we'll feel better about it for about 3 or 4 years.

Florida's record is inflated (just like Missouri's) by an anemic schedule and Auburn's offense is still weak so both of those are winnable. But clearly we showed yesterday we can out-flat anyone. 

We are conceivably staring at our fourth 0-8 conference record in the last eleven seasons.

And without doing a shred of research, I would hazard a guess that we may be the only school in history to have three consecutive coaches accomplish that feat.

Was thinking this same thing yesterday afternoon.

It's a stark revelation of just how bad of shape our football program is in. Worse yet, the SEC is way down this year, so it's not like the murderer's row of years past.

As has been said on here several times this year, when the SEC is down we somehow find a way to be further down.

My kid sent this to me last night asking if it was new or one of the ones from the Aggy game.  Apparently it's making the rounds among the students. You cannot view this attachment.

[Feral]

Hopefully that's fake.

If it's not, just cancel the program.

[The Whyte Boar]

That's a guy who is getting fired, knows it, and no longer gives a fuck.  It also seems like a guy with a fair amount of anger over the whole situation.  I can only imagine that things are toxic with the staff and the team now.

[Show-Me Hog]

It's pretty obviously fake, a takeoff and extension of the earlier one.

I still would have had Dan's shit boxed up this morning. Just on performance.

*Unfortunately, while coordinators and assistants have been fired mid-season before, it's my sense that happens when there is poor performance AND a personality conflict. Not only does this guy suck, but we argue all the time and I can't stand him. Of course, I'm not in the locker room or the coaches meetings, but my sense is that Sam and Dan are friends, so that would probably make it impossible for him to fire Dan no matter the performance side.

I don't know why you would say it's obviously fake.  The last time was real.  It might be fake, but as we've seen, it could very definitely be real.

The largest tell is that no matter how stupid he is, Enos wouldn't curse in writing at a student. Just wouldn't happen.

Second tell, especially after his previous email was in the news.

It's obviously an exaggerated lampoon of the earlier one.

I'm pretty good at smelling these things online.

Equally likely that after yesterday he just doesn't care.  He's frustrated and knows he is gone anyway.

Pittman is just getting gutted on national tv and everyone's YouTube/podcast/take. I've not ever seen anything like it but no polishing the turd from yesterday.

No way you can keep him.

Some national links/examples would be interesting.

Auburn can run the ball; we can't. Auburn may not be able to pass, but they can pass protect; we can't do either one. Just watching them they LOOK quick; we look slow.

We will not not win unless it becomes a FG kicking contest.

[Zoso]

Vickery is killing it.

We ain't beating Florida or Auburn. We have totally given up as a team. FIU will be a toss up.

[DrMongoose]

I don't get the give Pittman a nice settlement, he will do the right thing, he is loyal to the to UofA, etc bullshit.

Dude whined about his contract/salary, fires the agent who busted her ass to get him a chance at this job then hired Jimmy Sexton. Someone explain the loyalty there please.

We don't owe him a damn thing not in the new contract (which is a different argument).

He has mailed it in since he got his new deal - it has shown on the field and then he confirmed it with his post game press conference which was a Chad Morris level admission of having no clue.

The 9 win season was a fluke and again a win over a overhyped Teasip team was the only win over a ranked team that year. When will we learn (all of us) that while beating teasip is fun it doesn't mean anything?

It is a wonder college football has not bankrupted a university yet with all the stupid contracts and extensions given to football coaches.

Can we please hire a proven head coach who has won meaningful games?

I can only imagine the Gus talk will heat up then that crowd will start pimping Rhett Laslee, just watch.

[buff2.0]

Only if he gets Gus's endorsement.

Vickery is killing it.

Oh heck I forgot to listen to Bill. He's always good for a much needed laugh or cry depending on your state of mind.

[Barton Fink]

Yeah, hate i missed Vickery today as well.

[Spiderham]

Yeah, hate i missed Vickery today as well.

They go up here in a few days.
