Re: Lol losing a few games sure brings out the dumbassery in a lot of our fans

I played football at the collegiate level and coached at a high level in high school. I have forgotten more about football than you will ever know. First, it's not one bad year. It's 5 years of underperformance, and degrading every year.

In 2018, we had the stock of the top program in the nation and signed arguably the best class in CFB. Every year since then, we've been worse in recruiting and in game-time decisions. We've lost the coaches and players that took us to the peak and replaced them with incompetent and unqualified personnel who are nothing but yes men. Our only qualified hire was lied to and now has his hands tied behind his back. And if you look at our high school recruiting, it's not improving. We had two legitimate studs recruited and that's it, and we'll see what they decide if this team rolls to 7-5 or worse.

I think Dabo has earned more than one bad year. But he has to show sweeping changes at the end of the season, and that includes firing his friends and family. But the fact that you're saying we need 3 straight seasons of less than 6 wins is a joke. It shows how low your standards are for success. I can tell everything I need to know about you as a person from that comment.

It might take some time to climb up again. But I think you'll find coach replacements depend entirely on how much money you're willing to throw at the problem. Ohio State has been through 3 coaches since Dabo was hired. UGA 2. Oklahoma 3. They haven't missed a step, because they're willing to pay the best coaches good money to come there. We pay our coaching staff more than any of them. Get a clue.

With all your experience have you ever been a college head coach, let alone a college with a national profile? Thanks for your insight; or lack thereof, it's a different landscape, and the amount of crazy sh*t that Dabo (and every major coach) has to deal with on a daily basis is off the charts... you cannot even say you have walked in his shadow let alone his shoes...

You want player X to come for an official visit? Thats $5k and first class seats for him, his family and his friends and a suite in the hotel of our choice... oh and thos academic standards? They may need some adjustments or waivers. So now that we are past the official visit, let's talk NIL $$$$...

Rick Neuheisel has spoken about this numerous times, in great detail on the dirty underbelly of college football today. It's not pretty.

Dabo actually cares about the players beyond college football.. which is where most of them are going to end up.

How about the running backs not fumble from the one-yard line? Is that really something that you put on Dabo? Riley? Spiller? or is it on the backs to protect the ball? 3x fumbles with lost possessions inside the 1...

As a coach I would expect that you would be far more in line with the fans don't really know much, they only know what they see... they do not know what was supposed to happen. They only know the soda straw that TV gives them, then they are all experts. Hundreds of comments about the last play of the game, crap call, Cade sucks, blah, blah, blah. Botom line is Cade went rogue... and it did not end well. As a coach what would you do with players that go rogue? I personally thought Dabo's comment was spot on, "you have to play within the system"

There are alot of things to fix... coaching being one of the things to take a hard look at.
