UF has been quite successful with its last 3 hires.
What the hell are you talking about, how many damn times do I have to tell you that I only can't over to this toxic waste dump of a board when I gave up on cockytalk coming back, moron.
From your initial post, I made the assumption that you thought USC should be looking for someone who was already at (if not past) the apex of his career, which is how I think of Meyer.
Poor recording keeping (i.e., expenses) while recruiting, plus he didn't get along that well with the administration in Chapel Hill. It's also when Dook AD Eddie Cameron and Frank began their mutual dislike for each other, which carried over to when McGuire landed in Columbia.
Jeez bro. We get it, the school didn't take your advice on who our coach should be. Why don't you swallow your pride just for a year or two. You seriously need a participation trophy or something? You and one other person here are bordering on mental illness with this crap.
Exactly. We have to wonder if this guy runs out and buys a newer bigger car every time one of his neighbors gets a new one.
Like a broken record.
After having had Holtz and Spurrier as head coach at USC past their prime (and they did good for USC, no question about it), I would rather have someone like a Shane Beamer (or a Chadwell) who will put in the necessary work it takes for USC to be a contender year in and year out for many years, and who will stay in Columbia for many years.
I’m calling Tennessee. Their desperation knows no bounds. If 2022 gets off to a bad start Heupel will be yanked.
Espn countdown just skewered him, Rex Ryan piled on quite a bit!
Haven't followed his career that closely, but don't remember those allegations. I know he protected a coach that abused his spouse. No one will touch Briles, he has to coach in Italy....because nobody in the US or Canada will touch him.
Who is talking coaching model searches.....that had nothing to do with the conversation JR.
He has had an unusual career for sure...not the normal trajectory of a top flight coach. I don’t personally like him...but he is still younger now than when Holtz or SOS took our job.
I think that's more about the timing with which he got hit, lots before and since that did all the same including two at LSU, but it wasn't the right month for that flavor to get some ink.
Mullen is a bust but not because if the last few years but this year. No recruiting, talent dropping off and inviting crap by making BS claims to the media. He got fired because everything he did convinced the powers at and the fanbase of Florida that he wouldn't stop the meltdown that started on his watch.
I do. 34-15 while playing your conference games in the SEC is what it is. Only one losing season (this year). I think it speaks more to the fanatical and unrealistic fanbase that UF football has become. They got really entitled after SOS tenure....remember so much so that they thought themselves above his return after his short stint in NFL. U Meyer took them to the greatest heights they’ve ever seen...and probably will ever see...and now they’re more entitled and out of touch than ever. They resemble UNC basketball fans and NY Yankee fans to me
At the D-1 level, for sure it's 24/7. Probably not so much at D-II, D-III, and the NAIA. And for some people, they'd rather focus on teaching/coaching/mentoring and not so much on recruiting, and want a home life. And they're willing to not make millions of $$$ as a trade-off. Having options out there to fit the needs of the individual is a good thing, as long as you take the responsibilities for which you signed up seriously.
I'll of course stipulate that you believe hiring Beamer was a dumb move and ultimately he will be unsuccessful at USC. Given that he is the current HC, do you want him to succeed at USC?
Just one question, what makes you any different than others on this board to say a coaching hire is definitely not going to work? I can see being critical of the Muschamp hire since he had already failed at UF, but we still don't really know what we have with Shane, I'd like to give him the benefit of the doubt until at least his 3rd class and 4th season on the field, I would guess there is a little bit of a learning curve in CFB head coaching!
Was the average Gator fan appalled when the UF AD required SOS to submit a resume to apply for his old job?
I'll agree that they're spoiled, but if Mullen was arrogant and combative and accepted responsibility he would've had another season.
Not accepting responsibility = Not representing the school well. Subjective.
Who knows if Smart would have been a HR hire? Being the HC at Georgia is different than being here.
But, he was who we wanted and definitely would have been better than Muschamp!
IMHO, Kirby and Muschamp are almost one and the same, Kirby just has better players.
You are an ignoramous sir/maam. By any gender....an idiot. I'm a lifelong Gamecock.......End of that story. I assume you know our football history.
I disagree completely. Given what WM did at UF and Smart did at GA under similar circumstances (as much as can be at different Universities)....that's a pretty true case study showing Smart has already eclipsed the 'bust' category like WM never did at UF or USC.
Awwwww...poor baby. You want a pacifier to go with that whining temper tantrum?
