Just for the record, Sonny Dykes is coaching SMU tonight in the bowl game

It's ok to have an opinion big guy

Yes it, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, I wasn't necessarily calling you out, like you say, it's ok as long as it's just that, opinion.

For the 100th time- the offense WOULD NOT have to have been changed for the bowl game. 50% of college offenses are the same shit- its just called something different at each school. Inside zone is inside zone at every damn school in the country. Zone stretch is the same thing. etc

I really don't feel strongly one way or the other but this is why I would have wanted him to coach the 15 practices. So that he could start getting the players used to how he wants to run practices and the new terminology. Not so we can win the bowl game but so we can be a little further along the learning curve come spring. But I'm also very pleased how he kept the recruiting class together and there is no guarantee that he could have done both.

Finishing 2010 with our big win over Michigan had us preseason #20 in both preseason 2011 polls.

Boy that got that one wrong didn't they? They were so wrong picking us pre-season Top 20 in 2011 that we haven't been ranked pre-season since.

We were there though. Being there is always better than not being there. Finishing this year ranked over not being ranked is better

This is ignorant. The head coach closes. Nobody is coming to the school because of a recruiting coordinator. Moorhead closed this class, and it was the right way for him to spend his time ahead of a meaningless bowl game.

One of many he?s been spouting lately.

after taking the job a week ago and it's also the same day as signing day. This post is for all those people that said Moorhead couldn't coach us in our bowl game.

The last thing we need is our new head coach to coach his first game and get his ass kicked because half of the staff has left and he's playing against a Heisman winning QB with his backup qb. I can only imagine what all of the Chicken Littles in our fan base would do after that shit show. Last night's game was a prime example of how to damper enthusiasm for a new head coach before he even gets started.

I originally wanted Coach Moorhead to coach the bowl game but I am all for whatever is best for 2018. He can evaluate and work with the players which will benefit us. The most important thing was the recruiting class. We got some immediate help at WR and TE that we needed for 2018. We also got our future QB and possibly some depth on the Oline if Dollar Bill doesn't redshirt. We just need to improve at corner which Marcus Murphy might help at nickel at least.

It would be great to get some momentum with a win against Louisville but that was further down the list of what was important. As long as Sirmon is calling the defense for UofL then we have a chance.

If Moorhead had coached the bowl and lost this class - many of the same people criticism him for not coaching the bowl would be apoplectic with rage about how "Moorhead was a terrible hire who knows nothing about recruiting in the SEC."
