[Moro Creek]

Please, please, please, give Hugh an extended contract.

I expected we’ll hear something this afternoon or tomorrow. Probably will name D.J. Durkin interim.
I also think Fickell may have coached his last game at Wisconsin. They looked atrocious yesterday. And Sunbelt Billy may have survived another week.

The fighting Dabos were thumped by SMU...

Tejas struggled to beat Kentucky in OT yesterday... Arch 12/27...

LSU thumped by Vandy...

Georgia looked like Ole Miss was gonna put the hurt on them until the 4th quarter...

Some craziness out there indeed!

Major donors are meeting now to discuss Norvell’s future per On3

Hugh just looks bad... I think he is cracking more under the pressure every day.

I agree. And I wonder how much of it is stress and frustration and how much is his cancer treatments. Maybe some of all of that.

Would laugh to see him fired after they pinned everything on beating us the 1st game of the season. I watched the end of the Stanford game last night because I was too amped to sleep, and it was bad. I don’t understand how we lost to them.

And hey, longshot but maybe Haynes would try to transfer back 😉

that was my thinking. Maybe he should have stepped aside for a year or 2 and came back to coaching?

Napier out in Gainesville which surprises basically nobody.

Have there ever been this many in season firings before? At least at major programs? Almost seems like a mad panic to “get in line” for a new coach right now.

There’s never been this much outside leverage in college football.

Because of the 30 day portal window...

I hope they go after Hartline at OSU.

Does Wisconsin hold off on Fickel until the end of the year?

Because of the 30 day portal window...

And then it lets the new guy pull from the rest of the country's portal as soon as he gets hired

 

[DzynKingRTR]

At some point the carousel will affect us. I think we will need a new OC next season

Because of the 30 day portal window...

Ah, the law of unintended consequences…

It’s always interesting to hear who the fans say they want as a head coach for their team. There are a lot of hot seats right now and openings that will come up by end of year

if Kirby was gone at Georgia, Clark Lea would have to be at the top of the list for me. I would have to think his name would be getting more traction from fan bases, but it doesn’t seem to be

If you have a vacancy and he’s not at or near the top of your list, then there should be two vacancies at your university.
