This season has been a good opportunity for Key. I would think his chances of getting a head coaching job are much greater than they would have been if Collins had been fired after the season. My guess is he will be offered by someone.
There is a huge difference between being an OC and a head coach. Some of the Maryland fans stated that Fridge did not like to recruit. Also, a head coach has to be the go-to guy for personal problems and the OC is not. The head coach has to be somewhat of a psyhologist along with being the HC.
We totally out played them except for two plays, the punt return and the pick six.
He did great there as a HC, multiple 10 win seasons iirc
Those plays certainly didn't help but if you are playing an awful team and you find yourself down by 11 in the 4th quarter then you can't really blame it all on two plays. You aren't playing all that well. They have plenty of plays they would like back as well.
I think Batt is smart enough to make the ‘right move’ over the ‘big move’. Not saying it should be Key but just because he’s the interim shouldn’t exclude him from consideration.
I mean those two plays directly accounted for 13 points. So 13>11. That said, the three FG’s should have been TDs and that’s 12 points. Also 12>11 so that cuts both ways.
Yeah, but they also turned the ball over 4 times, once on 1st and goal, another time near the red zone, missed an easy field goal, and pissed a PAT. It's not like they played a clean game and got lucky on a couple of our mistakes. They were making plenty of mistakes too. I'm not going to go into dissecting what would have happened on every permutation of potential outcomes if we pick and choose which plays to overturn. I'm just going to go with my original thought, that we played an awful team that really didn't play very well against us, and we had to come back from a double digit deficit to win by one. It was a win, but not really an impressive one that should get a coach a contract.
Hard to believe, seriously? Key came on board on or about Jan 10, less than a month before final signing day and weeks after early signing day. How many quality OL do you think were left unsigned? I'm not on the Key bandwagon, but lets at least give him a fair evaluation.
I’m talking about Collins fam
Apologies if I misinterpreted your reference; thought we were on the HC candidate topic.
Wrong thread- sorry - starting a new one.
That's interesting. I don't see, from an outsider's perspective, a nickel's worth of difference between Ole Miss and Auburn in terms of one being a better place than the other for a head FB coach. In fact, Ole Miss may be more desirable due to less interference from the lunatic fringe.It's odd for a coach to make a lateral move. Outside of maybe more $$$ personally, what am I missing here?
