Press Conference

[TaleofTwoDogs]

MetEdDawg - Agree 100%. Great post. It's football folks, let's keep a little perspective. Fire or not fire, whatever, it's time to move the program forward aGain. Leadership is making the hard decisions.

I don't think he got out of character. I think he showed his true character.

This coupled with the “mean rednecks said I’m a bad coach in front of muh kid” bs.

Not gonna lie, his press conference just made me respect the shit out of him. Guess I'm in the minority on that. I guess we'll see what happens.

"Y'all want me to quit, but **** that, this is my team"

I respect that.

[Captain Falcon]

Say what you want about him, but if he’s going down, he’s going down swinging and not cowering to the critics. And look, the criticism is mostly deserved. He has definitely underwhelmed through two years. But the rumors have been nothing but a potential distraction before a huge game for him and his team, and I think it’s totally fair for him to be pissed off about them. Especially if they end up being unfounded like he appears to genuinely believe. And I think it’s very obvious he WANTS to be here and WANTS to succeed, so that should squash any logic that says he wants out.

You?re okay with mediocrity? You want o be like Kentucky? Go to a bowl but don?t beat a good team all year? My god, we haven?t been competitive all year..... but everyone thinks we?re going to the playoffs because we beat a 4 win OM team.

WooHoo ... we good!!

[timotheus]

glad stevens was out ot joe would have lost and I thought it looked like 2 junior high teams most of the game. this is a total mess

[Todd4State]

If I'm being paid multi millions of dollars I would care less. Maybe pissed a little but not enough to get out of character.

If you had more of buyout that kicked in paying you even more millions I would still do the same thing.

[gravedigger]

Yea that?s what everybody is doing. Whatever.

Own it. You don?t like his comments because it stings your ass.

Comments like yours prove you cannot take the very thing you dish out.

[Dawgtini]

Just watched the presser. Joe said he ain?t going no where. His team his school ?see you at the bowl game?. Wow. If rumors are true gonna get real in the coming days.

[MarketingBully]

Meh, if I were Cohen I’d make it real difficult for him to stay like OM did with Cutcliff. There definitely needs to be some staff changed and I’d make him hire a real OC. I also wouldn’t extend him and make year 3 the hot hot seat. It’s hard to fire someone after going to 2 straight bowl seasons and two wins over OM even though OM had more to do with that loss then we did winning that game.

It's been his team. Is he just realizing that?

[Cooterpoot]

Jo is a good guy and wants to be a good coach at State. That means he’s got to be willing to toss his offense and make the staff changes required if he’s going to stay. His play calling was horrendous at times last night. The offense isn’t working.
If he refuses, show him the door. He basically put himself in a position last night to where he’s got to prove he can run this program. Unwillingness to do so should result in termination after that speech.

[gravedigger]

I don't think C34, Ari, IYOK, trolled us. I have to believe Joe went off script there and the plan is still to fire him.

If not, and they were all wrong, then this will be the end of EliteDawgs

Or they were inaccurate. It happens. Trust me, egos are too large around here for it to die over a bravado filled rumor.

AJ Brown commitment comes to mind.

We hired him for his offense. If you asking him to scrap his offense, you might as well scrap him. If we were gonna fire him after a loss last night, use his F you to the fans speech last night as the reason to let him go.

[i don?t understand how more of you are not mad about the way that PC went. He just told all of us that don?t believe in him anymore to go kick rocks. Like its our fault for not believing in him? Hes the guy that has failed. He doesnt even realize that hes failed- he thinks he has done as good as we could do. Thats not good when we are the ones paying the man (not the players).

Certainly people get things wrong, but you do realize you went back 4 years on AJ? If that's all you could come up with, the "insiders" must be doing pretty well. With that said, after all the "done deal" talk yesterday, the insiders here should be trashed hard if Moorhead is back...

[msstate7]

I sorta think that speech is the speech of a man that knows he's headed out and shot double birds to us (fanbase).

This is correct - I don’t understand why there is even an option to keep him after that crap. It’s one thing to stand up for your job but he has yet to take any of the blame for our failures. He put it squarely on the excuses and me and you can go kick rocks 7. I guess he doesn’t need my money and support.

You sure have a vivid imagination and lack reading comprehension. I respect his reaction to all the pitchforks trying to run him out of town. Y'all were saying he lacked emotion and "needs a fire in his belly" not too long ago.
