Tenn fires coach and we still have our giant failure

[Hingle McCringleberry]

Except for those two coaches in major conferences fired already. Yeah. Doesn’t happen

And they've hired whom?  What does it gain?

Florida fired McElwain because he was caught in a lie that embarrassed the university.  I don't know why Tennessee decided to fire Jones now, but I don't see why we should be looking at them as a shining example of how to operate a football program.

Also protects candidates from having to answer questions about the open HC job at Nebraska.

Actually this may have changed my mind. I didn’t really care much one way or the other before but this is the one and only good reason I’ve seen for not sending him packing now.

there is only one guy who should worry about the sellout streak.  And that guy I am sure has a number of things to weigh and prioritize.

Which is one more good reason than I've seen as to why we should send him packing now.

The Iowa game isn’t sold out yet?

No no no, don’t misunderstand, I don’t want tickets, I just figured tickets were pre-sold weeks in advance.

As for people actually showing up for the game, we’ll thats another story.

Post 90's I have never had trouble picking up tickets from scalpers on gamedays in Lincoln outside Memorial Stadium...and never paid more than 100.

Sell out and attendance are entirely different things.

That was the point of my post...but thank you for clarifying

LOL. I'm in Scotland and drunk.  Don't mind me!

Moos said he didn't fire coaches mid season.  Which was a relevant statement in the middle of the season.

Correct. It is no longer mid-season, it is near the end of the season.

While it is probably much colder there than here, i bet its radical....cheers

Can't MR get the flu, and be unable to fulfill his coaching obligations for the next two weeks? 

 

[3rd and long]

Does anyone else think a change at the top now might change a lot of attitudes on the field for the last two games?

Not saying they’ll have a chance to win, but would the effort be better?

Don’t you think they’re getting questioned anyway?  Everyone knows the job is opening.

Yes but they have an easy out deflecting answer now....”That job isn’t even open”. So it is different. I’d still be very happy if it was announced tomorrow though. Everyone knows it’s inevitable, might as well let everyone involved start moving forward.
