  1. Ah, I got focused on Fedora plus, I apparently can't read. beaty is supposed to be a plus recruiter, I never even though of him as a possible coordinator, kinda thought an 8th WR coach or something. Saban has drawn the blueprint about how you go get good coaches with issues and give them another shot, and Urban copied that blueprint. Saban seems to prefer drinks and philanderers while Urban has fewer moral constraints. But there is no question it's a highly successful approach. Face it, recruiting, PR, clad handing doners, interviews, all of that is secondary. The PRIMARY job of the HC is to hire. Hire good/great assistants. Get guys who can recruit, get guys who can coach, and bonus for getting guys good at both. Then stay on top of them, cut loose underperformers and keep finding replacements because you will always have turnover at the top. The best go on to their own gigs and you fire the one not working. We have a HC who is working his business, pals with his employees. He is supposed to be running his business and he is not.
  2. No new news is good news I guess? Be nice if the bot came back, at least we would have updates no matter how mundane and know whether to celebrate or panic. Kind of feels like the aftermath of a too long nap when you're not sure what day it is and maybe you skipped over a few parallel time layers.
  3. Middle Tennessee OC for 3 years pass game coordinator, run game coordinator, OC at UF 1 year each OSU OC for 3 years
  4. I don't know but here's a quote and a window into why Herman meshes with Fedora. . Fedora’s 17 years as either a head coach or an offensive coordinator have led him to focus primarily on turnovers and explosive plays (running plays of at least 12 yards and pass completions of at least 16 yards). “Those two things for us, if we can win those two battles, the turnover battles and the explosive play battles, we’re usually going to be pretty successful,” Fedora said. Explosive plays is something Herman has been locked in on, and Orlanos squad has been pretty good at creating turnovers in his time here It seems obvious they both follow this same philosophy, where other might value TOP like jimbo, or bag of cash like Smart, or bags of dicks like Stoops. I expect a pretty decent shakeup at end of season as Mensa starts to crack under pressure. The distressing part is I also expect more hive mind with some combination of Fedora/Ash/Beaty to formally join the staff, and then we are proper fucked for another couple years This is of course assuming he can't pull a 4 win streak out to finish strong at 9-3. In that case there's a decent chance we make the CCG and little to nothing changes as Tom is vindicated in his mind, for another year.
  5. Yes, I forget his name. He punted Saturday. And dicker is a decent punter
  6. No way on Fedora. he was a meh OC at Uf under Zook, a very meh coordinator under gundy during mullet early years, and he was a fucking MEH HC
  7. True, we should have fired him a week before he "stepped down"
  8. KSU is going to be a big game, if we pull the upset we might just go 3-1 down the stretch. Lose that one and the wheels have officially come off and 0-4 is most likely.
  9. Dabo has more in common with Charlie strong than Herman. Dabo is very well liked by players and he's a great coach who understands staff management and fires poor performance Dabo gets an A for being likable, an A for staff management and an A as a HC Charlie was very well liked by his players but he sucked as a coach and staff management. Charlie gets an A for being likable, an F for staff management, and a D as a HC Herman... not the most likable guy, doesn't understand staff management, doesn't fire underperformance/incompetence. Herman gets a D for being a dick, an F for staff management, and maybe a C- as HC.
  10. There's another angle from behind KSU and I'm pretty damn sure the hard bounce and redirect is off the KSU guys knee. The speed and angle would make more sense also. Ive watched it so many times, I'm about 95% it hit the guys right knee coming forward, #56 or whatever who was blocking into sooner. OU getting fucked is so much sweeter, makes me feel better after yesterday.
  11. I don't see anything on his resume to imply he's even ok to good. He took charge of whisky defense for a couple years under fat fucking regard and regressed, followed bulimia to Arkansas and had a historically bad season there in his 1 year. he had 2 good years at fOSU as Co-DC with Luke Fickel. Fickel has by far the better resume and was more likely responsible for the success on defense. So in short, the defense couldn't really get much worse, but if Ash is the plan, we are still fucked. Actually, the position Mensa has put us in through staff mismanagement means we are fucked regardless what does/doesn't happen.
  12. Klieman makes 2.8M at KSU He has won 7 NCs in 8 years (1 as DBs, 2 as DC, 4 as HC). They are trending up and will probably end up 9-3 with a good shot at 10-2. i would imagine he would do quite well here with the talent at hand, the defense sure as fuck wouldn't be the worst in P5.
  13. True, the argument that the team gets extra practices doesn't hold water when it's extra practices of shitty schemes, by coaches who won't be around by seasons end.
  14. Money whip Chris Klieman. 7 total NCs in 8 seasons, 4 as head coach in 5 years Matt Rhule is proving to be a pretty damn good coach too, but he will be in the NFL in a few years. Looks like Herman might just be the worst coach in the B12.
  15. If he starts now firing 1-2 coaches and UPGRADING (big ifs) it will take 4-5 years to assemble a good staff. He won't last that long going that route. if he cleans house of all his dead weight all at the end of the season, recruiting will absolutely tank and transfer portal will have a line like Franklins. He won't last long going that route. Smart move would be to get someone capable of actually coaching who can do something with the talent Mensa has managed to collect. But when's the last time we did something smart? Sure as fuck wasn't when we extended Mensa out to 2023. If not for that extension this could have turned into a great hire as our Mensa Blake.
  16. Man, you're doing it wrong
  17. It's called adjustments, motherfucker. Something you and your staff are completely incapable of doing. So he seems to think we need outside help and goes out and gets 2 guys with a combined record of 14-74 and another guy who got also got shitcanned for driving UNC into the ground and going 5-18 in his last 2 years. That's a 19-92 record for 3 guys who I am sure are great guys but obviously suck ass at coaching football. That's who he chooses to surround him self with in addition to all the deadbeats he brought with him from UH? The writing is on the wall on this one, regardless if he's fired this year or 2 years from now
  18. When you need to fire your entire assistant coaching staff in a season, it's the head coach who needs to go. Had he used UTs buying power to assemble a good staff and/or started cutting 1-2 dead weight coaches and upgrading year over year, he would not be in this position. Theres around 30 coaches I can think of who I would rather have at this point.
  19. There it is again, "winning is really, really hard." Fuck him
  20. I'm no fan of Urban. Though he will have several choices if he wants to coach again next season and you would think he would get satisfaction dragging his nuts across herman and taking his job. I completely support what the hermans did regarding the smiths, and Urban is a proven Shitbag. Fuck it, see what he has to say and go from there.
  21. Coordinator won an MNC under Urban... Check parlayed that into a HC gig in G5... check Had a couple good seasons at G5 school... check Parlayed that success into HC gig at Texas... check Brought along almost entire staff despite having the funds to upgrade any/all.... check has to demote OC in year 2 because of suckage.... check DC devolves into train wreck.... check man, I just don't see the similarities leading to your conclusion. Herman is not as bad a coach as Strong, not by a long shot. But Strong set the bar so fucking low, that's not saying much
  22. This is fucking absurd. Fuck the refs, fuck the B12.
  23. I mean, i could do the 5 gallon bucket but I will probably need to go to sleep some time tonight.
  24. Could you pick me up a gallon of cocaine? This shit is putting me to sleep Oh, and a box of tampons and some Salem lights.
