I don't think anyone has ever said that, just pointed out that if a school does that it doesn't help them land a good hire



Also this whole situation is strange.

This is just what I am thinking:


They are freaked out with what Kirby is doing at Georgia. They see he is destroying people, including them, in yesr 2. They think "why not us?"


Also, his whole tenure has been strange there. This week with the whole death threats thing. Then it comes out that was probably not true, while silly I don't that that is why he is getting fired. Although that seems to be what the school is going with.

He lied about threats. It was just cause to not pay the shark molester the buyout.

And so it begins...the coaching carousel is in motion.

Florida knows they can be great when they have the right coach.  Good enough isn't good enough.  It wasn't for Ron Zook, it wasn't for Muschamp, and it's not for McElwain.

Some programs absolutely demand excellence.  Some don't.

Some programs will give you an extension even when failing to reach .500

and any great coach will walk into a ton of talent and easy recruiting. So if your even decent you should be winning big

Yea...the dumb ones, where winning is not important to the idiots running the program.
Will I live long enough to see us win again? Will any of us?

It's that he was never competitive in those "east titles," especially when the east was and still is well below the other side.  He was to have been an O-ffensive guru.  Far from it.

Mind you, I hate FU but he was way below what they think they should be.

The OTR

I bet he regrets posing for a picture on that shark now.  Seemed like fun at the time I'm sure but not worth it in the long run.

Its interesting whats going on down there, Miami, Central, South, FAU all having good years and UF and FSU a little down.

Silly gators, must be one of those win at all costs programs.

Really?  Have you thought about that premise?  Because if true, a coach who isn't even decent took a program with little to no tradition or advantages and beat us by four touchdowns about three weeks ago.

Make UF not FU. Sounds obscene,

i read the florida boards [and others].

it's performance related at its core. after that, it's personality.

despite the W/L record and east titles, fans did not like on the field performance and ongoing personnel mysteries. personality-wise, Mc just didn't click when trying to explain why things were the way they were.

Randy Shannon is the interim.....

This right here is what pisses me off about Arkansas. We are in the SEC, where schools demand excellence and championships from their football programs. Arkansas doesn't belong in the SEC because we are happy at .500 and celebrate moral victories. We do not deserve to be in the same conference as Bama, Auburn, Georgia, Florida.

Yeah, our BOTs are more pathetic than the coaching  if we don't have consequences for 11 SEC wins in 5 years and 4 of those are to Ole Miss.
