I think this thread was designed for us to talk about get our hopes up for the future. So, in keeping my hopes up, I wanted the entire Cincinnati coaching staff before, and I still do. They seem to just win, that's all.

That’s what I’m afraid of. I think Rogers is going to be good but he’ll still be a freshman eligibility wise and sophomore experience wise. But even the young WR’s like Walley and Tulu that we expect to be good, they’re not likely to take monster steps forward next season. And although Knox and Nabers are really talented, they’re not Bama or LSU type freshmen WR’s who you expect to come in and instantly be studs (maybe I’m wrong and they do exactly what I’m saying they probably won’t). It’ll take them some time to acclimate. Heath will be back and is going to have to be a legit #1 option for us next year or we’re screwed. Austin Williams is just limited speed/agility/quickness wise and although he’s got the best hands on the team, he just can’t consistently get open against SEC DB’s.
So what do you look at roster-wise for next season for hope that the offense gets going? We’re going to be relying on a young QB, 2 young RB’s, and 3-4 young WR’s (all sophomore/freshmen). Albeit the QB, RB’s and 2 of the young WR’s will have a year in the system, they’re still going to be going against some older, tougher, more experienced guys on defense.
Which is why he'll get a year 3.
IF you can't win in year 3 with 1) a Jr QB you recruited, 2) a highly rated So 4* QB you recruited, 3) 2 Jr 4* RBs, 3) multiple 4* WRs, 4) gifted young 5* and 4* OT's + the Ol you brought in, then you have no excuse. If an O can't work with that it won't work in year 4 or 5
Nice fantasy ("what if") thread I guess , but it's not reality. The only way CML will be leaving our football program during the time period indicated is for (1) he decides that he wants to go to another university or college; (2) he decides to hang it up and retire in FL or anywhere else he chooses; and then (3) If he violates something in his contract that warrants termination. Other than that, if he is in good health,where he can continue to coach, he will be our football coach in 2022.
Nick Saban or Dabo Swinney
Luke Fickell, but I'm afraid long gone from Cincy by then. He's Vrabel at the collegiate level. It's who we should've hired this time.
We have a winner. Some of yall need to back off of the ledge. This isn't life or death. We are probably running through some savings already as is with COVID cutting into $$. We simply can't afford to fire him after next year.
Give the guy a break and a chance to get acclimated. He may never win much of anything here but expecting to in year one of a screwed up year already is dumb. Some of yall sound like those millennials you are always complaining about wanting instant gratification. Seems like some of you older dogs want the same thing, INSTANT GRATIFICATION.
