?If you fire him after one year, nobody would take the job? - BS

[Dawgfan77]

I have no way given up. Too much football left to be played.

Honest question what in 5 games gives you any confidence he can turn it around? The guy can?t even make in game and half time adjustments. He looks like a deer in the headlights.
Saturday night I had no confidence at kickoff. On the third play Guidry clearly drops a pass and joe goes ballistic on the refs. It was clear he dropped the ball yet joe is trying to argue a drop. Smdh. The guy has no clue what he is doing

Can we put this to bed right now? 3 million a year and a SEC HC gig will always have the line out the door.

Yea....but who is in that line? That's what counts.

I agree with this. Nobody is passing up millions of dollars.

Certainly not to 9-3. That would require us winning in Tuscaloosa or Baton Rouge.

Here's what I think of Moorhead though. The guy was universally acclaimed by the college football world as an offensive guru. You don't get the level of praise he got and either a) be a phony or b) suddenly forget everything. I'm afraid that what they meant was "he has a brilliant offensive system" and we took it as "he's going to be highly successful with any personnel and can adapt to anything." Which means I think he can be successful if given a few years and if he's capable of recruiting the players he needs for his system. I think that Fitz is a poor fit in his offense, and I think that years of poor OL and WR recruiting is coming back to bite us. To make up for his inability to recruit talent at OL, Mullen had to get guys that were pretty much specialized to his system and our WRs flat out suck aside from Guidry (who still has more than a few drops this season). I'm disappointed that Moorhead is unwilling or unable to adjust more to Mullen's system, but whether or not he does get enough time to do what he wants is dependent on him figuring out how to adjust for this year, then either molding Key or Mayden into what he wants in a QB or praying that Schrader is ready to roll as a true freshmen. And again, actually being able to recruit the players he needs.

I don't think our pseudo-sociologists are correct in saying "southern kids just need to be yelled and cussed at more than them northern folk" and I sure as hell don't think there is a scenario where we should fire him this season aside from unforeseen scandal or maybe if we were to not win another game this season.

Whole lot of correct here....one thing i will say though is I would rather rip the bandaid off and make it his system and program if that's the issue. Do not adapt to Mullen's system with guys Mullen got here for his system just to win a few more games THiS year. Rip the band aid off and make the guys here get with the program. Recruit your guys and start to improve it.

Taking a deep hard look at our roster and what was left by the previous staff should make you question how many players we really do have and the ones that are here where did they really come from...and before some of the ledge standers flame the hell out of it...I'm not happy with things and there are things we need to do different BUT..the guy may be pounding a square nail into a round hole because by god we are gonna change the program to what I Want it and get my system players in here..and that I am ok with. As painful as it is today.

Too many college football guys that actually work in college football, not just media douches, hold this guy in high regard. I'm not firing him yet.

Oh somebody would take it, and there is the trouble.

Bullshit. We had a coach 9 years and he left the cupboard semi stocked. Not many people wanted it then.

Bullshit. We got one of the most highly thought of Power 5 coordinators. We had plenty of options. If you want to say we could pull a proven Power 5 Head coach or the hottest G5 head coach, then no, we couldn't do that, but the search was less than a year ago and we locked down one of our top choices pretty early.

We'er not firing Moorhead after this year, so it's irrelevant, but I'm not sure it would hurt us that much. We had a team ready to win this year, and which won last year, and we've gotten worse in every phase of the game, despite having basically the same players. A new coach would be walking into a rebuilding job and we have a history of giving people time. It'd certainly make us a less desirable stop; but I'm not sure it'd be less desirable than we'll be after letting us flounder for a few years. If we are able to recruit ok, then we'll be as fine as any non-blueblood is when they make a bad coaching hire. IF we don't recruit ok, we will be in deep shit, and won't have a good option going forward.

He doesn't have 5 losses yet.

He will.

Yeah....but what will you have standing in that line?

Then I'll throw my hat in the ring! Never coached before, but well.....you know.
