I'm not disagreeing. Like I said, if Frost had proven he could win 8+ games at Nebraska, like the coaches fired at Texas, Tennessee, USC - we wouldn't even be having this discussion. Frost wouldn't be on the hot seat with a resume like Jones, Herman, Helton.
I do appreciate this list because I honestly couldnt find anyone of merit that ever stuck around for that many years of being bad. I am not sure I would want anything to do with any of these coaches. Schiano is obviously the best for the eventual turnaround to make Rutgers respectable and even led them to an 11 win season in year 6. PS Mike Stoops won 6 year 3 ;-)
I'm not that well versed on all coaches, so here's where they coached at.
Completely agree Hardy. While there is always criticism that comes with a Power 5 job, I have no doubt this coaching staff would be secure had they simply gotten us to consecutive bowls the last 2 years (with a Year 1 transition). Whether we want to admit it or not, this is not a profession that rewards folks for coming close to wins, but only for actual wins.
Hugh Freeze won 8 games his 1st year at Liberty and 7 his first year at Ole Miss, Mark Stoops won 7 his 4th year at Kentucky.
Thanks for clarifying Hardy. Would help for me to read prior to responding next time!
These were candidates that I think could be able replacements in 2022. 7 or 8 wins in a season seem like a mirage right now.
Gotcha, you replied to coaches that had won over half their games in a season by year 4 lol so I was like what the heck herbie ha
Hey if he does you give him another year. If he gets you to 6 wins I am good with a year with some staff changes.Frost could still win 7.....
