He is not going anywhere because of the money. He has the AD by the throat and he knows it. Nothing will be done other than cosmetic changes to tamp down the unwashed who expect miracles like winning records and competent coaching.

Of course he was. Collins can say what he wants but that team was moving the ball with Yates at the controls. His decision making was much faster. It had to be with our pass blocking.

I don't know about that. Every man has his price. Wave enough money in front of most of these guys and they will cut a Faustian bargain with the Devil in a heart beat.

I was wrong about him as well. I thought for sure that he would recruit the 404 like gangbusters and we would be reeling in talent that wanted to stay home. Silly me, I had forgotten that many programs had tried the great recruiter gambit only to come to grief when facing a well coached team...

I know Johnson was not personable or much on creating hype and buzz but if we had him now, we would not be in the fix we are in. To be sure, there would be other problems but I don't think losing to Northern Illinois would be an issue.

I read somewhere that Swilling and one of the safeties were arguing about coverages while demanding the plays from the sidelines. Don't know if that is true but it looked like we were lost on defense that fourth quarter. We did outgain them by over 100 yards in total offense and nearly had...

I am not sure we demand ANYTHING from our coaches that would not be expected from a reasonably well coached high school powerhouse.

"...what in the world are our coaches going to do when Clemson, ND and the mutts start mixing things up." Oh, I don't know, count their money, wave money down signs, let the players argue amongst themselves, any number of things but nothing that will slow any of those teams down.

Your introduction led me to do some back of the envelope research to see which loss would APPEAR to my untutored mind at least to have been the worst of that coach's tenure on the Flats. Whether this one will be remembered as the worst for Coach Collins remains to be seen but here is how I...

This is NOTHING compared to what Miami fans were doing to Manny a couple of years ago. Some of them even rented an airplane and flew it around the stadium with a sign that read: "FIRE MANNY NOW" Shoot they may be after him again after that Alabama beatdown.

I see what you are saying but the reality is that we are being politely laughed at in a sympathetic sort of way by fans of teams with no skin in the game. My Florida friends are dumbfounded at the stupidity of giving a neophyte coach a 7 year contract but then they had their own version with...

Dang it. I have to edit my own post. Even Spurrier was not a miracle worker. Duke had a fine season in 1989 but only tied for first in the ACC with UVA.

The payout made me change my vote. We cannot afford to fire him. He is here until the end of 2025 in all likelihood. By then this program will be in absolute tatters and it will not matter. Of course, there is always the chance he can turn it around after all, Spurrier did what no one...

I don't think it will. I know Kennesaw runs the triple which gave us a lot of trouble the last time but we should be able to shoot the gaps on them and disrupt the mesh.

He may "want to" but there is a huge drop off on Clemson's offense from last year particularly at quarterback and the offensive line. Defense? That is another story.

Yes, I know what he means. To me, it is not so much anger as the realization one has when you have bought an expensive car that turns out to be a lemon. A sort of resignation that you have been suckered and there is not much to be done about it. The scoffing ridicule from other fans is much...

He did indeed. He was successful and well liked at UCLA and even won games at Kansas where he led his team on the field with the somersaults and such. That is also where his long time feud with Dan Devine began. Pepper told the story that one game his Jayhawks were getting stomped by Dan...

Over 400 yards total offense and we damn near had two 100 yard rushers and a very respectable 16 out of 26 (?) completions. In fact we out gained them in both rushing and passing along with first downs and total yards 429 to 301. They held the ball for 54 seconds longer and managed 4 sacks to...

Carson's main problem was that he followed a legend. The same thing happened to Ray Perkins following the Bear, Doug Dickey following Ray Graves at Florida, Ron Zook following Steve Spurrier at Florida, and whoever that poor soul was that followed Shug Jordan at Auburn. Never, never, never...

I guess it is most like Pepper in that the "Old Guard" in the West Stands like my father absolutely detested Pepper. But Geoff is in a category all by himself when it comes to being sort of clueless about how his actions appear to ordinary fans. My Florida buddies watched that post game...
