Even legends struggle when they don't have the right players.
Give the man a damn chance.
I support him and ain't afraid to say it.

Lou Holtz 0-11. WHAT !!!!! 1999, 2000 8-4
- Thread starter coastie72
- Start date
I support him also. But what is he selling this winter? I just don’t see anything that will get him players that can combine with this coaching and just be competitive. Let alone win.
Lou was proven. Beamer is a child in a grownup league.
Lou Holtz is a national champion head coach with boat loads of experience.
You are suggesting a TE coach that couldn’t get the ODU job deserves the same benefit of the doubt?
Go sell crazy somewhere else, we are all stocked up here.
You shouldn't be afraid to say it for a couple more years when reality just makes it ridiculous to continue supporting this mistake.
When Beamer was asked if he liked the play call on the Burch int, his honest response should have been “I don’t know. I have never called a play.”
That ‘99 team was much better than this one despite the record. Yes, UT and Arkansas were pretty good beatings, but UF and UGA weren’t, and even though UGA is on another level this year, the ‘99 UF and UT teams were no slouches. Nothing to indicate UF won’t beat us the same as today. This team has zero upside.
Beamer is going to get a second year. If he can have an 8-4 type season he will show progress.
But I think we all expect to be here or worse next year.

I was in the stands during 0-11. That team played a hell of a lot tougher and was a TON more fundamentally sound than this bad imitation of a football team that we have this year.
I just watched part of that NC State monsoon, and thought the exact same thing
Lou got the players on his name not on the field performance. Beamer better be able to do the same or we are DOOMED
We aren't DOOMED. Now, the football program might be doomed. If it drops off the face of the earth you'll get by.
Nooo, not right now. Not this year. Maybe next year. It depends on how bad it gets. If it gets a little better next year, then maybe the year after.
Exhibit 1 today. 2 programs in rebuild mode. 2 new HC. 1 looked light-years better than the other.
I think this is what has a lot of people ratcheting up the frustration. These were two teams with first year coaches. Both teams were huge rebuilding jobs, but one seems WAY ahead of the other.
Are you saying it took one season for Holtz to get the right players? 🤔
Why not? Go get Chadwell we before we lose the opportunity forever.
And last years game there was a field goal difference between the teams.
Dave Clawson is doing pretty well at Wake, I would kick the tires there before he is also on to easier recruiting places.
Lou and Spurrier had a resume that backed up us needing to give them patience. That’s the difference.
No. We want some top transfers from the portal that can play next year. Starting with a QB cause we need more than one
I thought we stocked up on portal players this year? Nations sack leader, speedster from GA Tech, touchdown machine combo from St Francis…
Wasn't there a 7 foot wide receiver too?
If you think you will live long enough to see us dig out of this hole then you may enjoy watching football again at some point. Right now it isnt fun and we aren’t getting any younger lol
1 has been a coordinator or head coach the last 10 yrs. the other has not been either.
Doesn't hurt to ask, but Clawson leaving Wake to come here ? I'm sure he is going to have much better options.
2 points.
1. We will not be shopping around at the end of this season.
2. Doubtful he would turn down an attractive job elsewhere to hold out in the chance of an SEC opening a couple of years down the road.
Everyone knows you take advantage of your situation when you're in high demand, and that would be now.
To be fair, as bad as TN has been recent years, they out recruited Muschamp and our program, so Heupel has more talent to work with. That said I share the frustration here
