It's just as much about recruiting and keeping guys from jumping ship.Wow. That is almost being honest about ticket sales. They made a huge deal out of the consecutive sellout again last Saturday. Just before they made the in-game announcement, I told everyone to look around at all the rows of people in the upper deck who just happened to all go to the bathroom at the same time!
I think it was pretty simple. Keep him until the buyout goes down. If he wins 3-4 games in that time, then let him finish the year and make a decision then. I don't think you gain much of a "head start" in your coaching search by firing him now.I think Dan Patrick's take was probably most accurate - they were afraid that they would win some games between now and then and make it harder to justify firing him.
You and Dan should check their upcoming schedule.I think Dan Patrick's take was probably most accurate - they were afraid that they would win some games between now and then and make it harder to justify firing him.
Especially when the DC is still in place.Are people hyped to go see an interim coach coach the same **** squad? Why does this impact the sellout streak either way?
I already posted this in another thread that @Jeremy nixed (probably because you guys got out of control). It was my “most liked” post ever.
So I must repost about what may have been my best sports moment ever (and I’ve had some great ones). And I think it best fits in the “in-state rivals” forum because of the emotion involved with the Fuskers.
I watched the epic Cyclone TD drive from a tailgate in Lincoln. Then watched the rest of the game on my phone inside Memorial Stadium.
But more fun came a few hours later as my wife’s nephew, the quarterback for Georgia Southern, scored the winning touchdown against Nebraska. View attachment 102956 View attachment 102958 And you know what he was talking about after the game? The fact that he had thrown 108 passes in two games at Memorial Stadium and never been sacked. He started for Buffalo last year. He couldn’t wait to take his offensive lineman out for a steak dinner.
Hail Southern!
That might just be THE WORST DEFENSE EVER PLAYED BY THE CORN-HAULERS!!I think that the reason they fired him now is that some boosters believe they still have chance at a bowl game if they make a change now.
The problem is that the coaching change isn't going to fix that defense.

I can't imagine how much money they would throw at Urban Meyer.No current coach is going to just quit their current team to begin coaching at Nebraska, that would be a death blow to their career.
The only thing you gain is talking to people like Urban Myer and Chris Pederson before anyone else can and potentially lock them up before the season ends. But otherwise, as you said, firing him now doesn't do much.
This firing has all the writings of the boosters wanting this done now instead of waiting.
So what game are they going to win before October 1st?View attachment 103003
OU...Michigan......not a top end schedule
The schedule is trash...the post I quoted was about the possibility of winning a few games, not guaranteed wins...any team with a pulse has a chance in these games...it would most likely be one score games with a chance to win just like the past 14 games or whatever it is. Also, it was more about firing a coach mid season, not by Oct 1.So what game are they going to win before October 1st?
Actually the thread is about cutting the buyout in half by firing him on October 1. So the rest of the schedule is irrelevant.The schedule is trash...the post I quoted was about the possibility of winning a few games, not guaranteed wins...any team with a pulse has a chance in these games...it would most likely be one score games with a chance to win just like the past 14 games or whatever it is.
