Mangino OUT as OC. Sturdy is the guy!
- Thread starter yler4cy
- Start date
I don't see how he could be fired in that case. If it gets turned around and we still made a bowl game this year, I think you'd have to let him stay.
As far as the offensive coordinators, we have had a consistent offense, just not in the way you'd want.
Ideally it would have been best to tell them first, but the logistics of making that happen without this blowing up are really tough, IMO.
more like: Completely inept, completely inept, might as well make it seem like it was someone else's fault.
I will say a few things and then walk away before being accused of ****...
Verified facts (higher than Hines threshold:wink:
1 - MM and CPR haven't gotten along almost since day 1, that hasn't been a secret to anybody. CPR has tried to have a lot more control (and has had it) than MM felt necessary, and MM was far less eager to try a slower offense than CPR wanted.
2 - MM hasn't made any friends within the AD, he's been on an island by himself to some degree. Some of that is just his personality, but some of it has been by design by both sides.
3 - The Sam vs Lanning issue will end up being used as the excuse by many as to why we haven't succeeded this year and why MM is out, but that is around 1% of it, if that. CPR has no ability to wash his hands of Lanning not starting until now as he has been the biggest Sam supporter all along.
4 - There is a very clear effort by pro-CPR supporters (including the AD's office) to lay the blame on MM for the last 2 years and to position CPR for next year. The bar will be lowered, the blame will be deflected, and they will assume all will be forgiven if we win another game down the stretch.
5 - CPR told the press before the players of MM's departure.
My personal opinion:
Every effort needs to be given to reject the narrative you hear over the next few days or you will absolutely be guaranteed 1-2 more years of CPR being "safe". Jamie wants to keep him and they will say and do a lot of things to keep the focus on topics other than the W/L column.
If you think MM has been responsible for Sam starting instead of Lanning, for the team never coming out with fire, for us never making adjustments at halftime, for the lack of disciplined football, etc - then not only are you mistaken, you have given JP a perfectly good reason for why CPR comes back next year.
I really want the sources for the Hines story to come out, it would be great. Pollard is a problem, I am sure of it right now.
If they are wrangling to get Rhoads another year, wow. STarta fire Pollard website.
Yeah, this change is going to pull the team further together and push the progress even further, this plus the bulletin board material that Texas DL through at us should be enough to end homecoming with a W..... We are due against Texas after the last 2 years.
FFS, please don't. Leave that **** in the 90's and early 2000's where it belongs.

And what is your position with the football program or is this just more rumor that seems to be running high right now?
I will say my information comes from someone(s) inside the Bergstrom that I have known since my playing days.So people can take it or leave it, but I have no reason to question them.
Short of firing Rhoads and JP, and then hiring Chip Kelly as the new head coach, I don't think anything would make people on this site happy.
Was MM hired as a desperation move...and now given the boot also as a desperation move?
4 OC in 7 seasons. It's obvious there is a problem with the program's leadership. I hope PR can right the ship, but little gives me hope.
This university deserves a quality program. For the sake of the GOR we MUST have a quality program. I'm afraid more dark days are ahead
