We have the ultimate example of that in Liverpool. Most costly Battle for the Golden Egg victory EVAH.
Yep. And Jughead will flirt with 6-6 due to another weak ass schedule. If he flukes into another W over Northern Miss, we'll be right back here doing the exact same cluster17 of a song and dance this time next year. Because our admin definitely won't have the balls to fire Jughead midseason. That's what a real P5 program would do. But the Virginia Slims proved today we aren't a real P5 program.
Or he gets on a little run and wins every game we supposed to this next year, getting us to 8-4. Again, maybe we will enter the year with all 85 schollies and we have to make fundamental changes to HOW we coach practices, s&c, and gamedays.
A clear message was sent to the fanbase today. The admin and certain boosters are completely happy with 6-7 wins as a ceiling and an egg bowl win and we as fans should be happy to compete for the viagra/stay free bowl game each year. Mediocrity is the new high!
I would love for that to happen, just don't think it will. You can tell Joe isn't the guy because of the little things we do poorly....and there are a lot of em. Not to mention his puketastic offense, and he's supposedly "tha guru", when he takes his coaching pills, obviously...
Seriously, this couldn't be more clear.
I'm laughing at you. You sound exactly like those Ole Miss idiots trying to convince themselves that LSU is their Real rival and the Egg. Bowl doesn't matter. You and your buddies.are exactly like them. Th FACT is that to 99% of our fan base the Egg Bowl is and always will matter more than any other game. That is how it should be. It IS the most important game, for many reasons. It IS the first and most important measuring stick. Anyone that denies that is delusional, in several different ways. Unlike you miserable people I'm pretty dang happy and enjoying life today. I haven't had but one our two Rebs even mention the game to me, and those only to say how embarrassed they are over what happened. It wouldn't be that way if they had won. I've never seen them this quiet after the Egg EVER. It's glorious.
So we get approx. $40M a year (I think, could be high) from SECN, and we can't do a buyout? If that is the case, we should drop football.
I don't believe that a G5 coach wouldn't jump at the chance to immediately go from $1M a year to $3M, the opportunity to coach in the SEC, a guarantee of several million $$$ in buyout if he's fired, a guarantee of $4M a year if he's mildly successful, and a guarantee of a Blue Blood job if he does really well.
Remember, coaches are a arrogant cocky bunch and they tend to think they can succeed. Moreover, G5 coaches don't get better job than us unless they go 12-0 like Frost or Herman. Look at Neil Brown- had we hired him he'd be making 3.5M at an SEC school with top 25 talent. Instead a year later he has to take the WV job making less. Scatterfield is at a worse program than us after being ignored for a season or 2, Clark was passed up, Norvell has been passed up for years now... G5 coaches aren't as picky as you'd think. Maybe the top 1 in a year but the other 2-3 really solid G5 coaches would jump at our job
