Been there and done that with some past coaches. It is truly frustrating when you know what these guys get paid. I think many AD's around the nation should be fired TODAY. The folks hiring and paying this huge money to coaches who look so inept at times is crazy. The AD's probably do more research buying their new BMW or Benz than they do assessing coaches. It is sad how many multi millionaire idiots are head coaches. Then add in the huge buyouts for this foolishness. Quit hiring names and hire talent.Probably 20 coaches in the lower levels of college that are better than some of the SEC failures we call coaches today. I mean if you can recruit and win at small schools, seems logical they can recruit and win at larger schools. They know how to RUN a program, all the DC and OC hires has shown one weakness, calling plays is not the same as over seeing a BILLION dollar program. A head coach must run a program not one side of a team in a game. The stuff we never see is the hard part, but that is the part that wins on weekends. Recruiting, planning, balancing media events. Controlling the beast, that is why Nick is so good, his attention to detail and his willingness to delegate, but hold those he delegates to accountable. Nick is not that great at the X's and O's to me except on defense. But he hire the best turns it over to them, yet holds them to a high standard. Nick may get mad on the sideline but he never looks lost. Many of the failures look so clueless at times. it show in delay of games, wasting time outs and bad clock management . Not saying he has not messed up, but it is rare.
For a minute I understood this post, then my head exploded
An average coach would play conservative with such a lead going into the fourth quarter. But Gus is not an average coach so he would not play conservative in the fourth. But coach O knows Gus is not an average coach thus Gus can’t open it up in the fourth quarter. But Gus knows that coach O knows that Gus is not an average coach so Gus must play conservative in the fourth quarter. But wait, I’m just getting started.
Interim though. Write this one off while we can. Beating UGA is a pipe dream. We're not getting over the hump with Gus. Let him come in and be all "rah rah" and let his coordinators coordinate, maybe we'll steal a game we're not supposed to and go to a decent bowl, but start trying to go after PJ Fleck or Jeff Brohm.
He wants this job cause his playing days are over and that aub degree is not landing him any fortune 500 CEO jobs. being former aub player he knows qualifications is not high on the list to Jay Jacobs :biggrin2:
Fool! He fell victim to one of the classic blunders. The most famous is "Never get involved in a land war in Asia," but only slightly less well known is this: Never go in against a Sicilian when the game is on the line!

You're not wrong. I agree.
Well, I'm not complaining, but there's no question that the head coaching talent in the SEC has seriously degraded.
Perfect

Truly, he has a dizzying intellect.For a minute I understood this post, then my head exploded
Shula had been a coach for 15 years (all in the NFL) when we hired him.
Well, Elephantman didn't specify that it had to be head coaching experience. :biggrin:
There is at least a slight chance he was referring to Mike DuBose
