I posted this in another thread, but I figured I'd put it into this one too:
I know firing coaches isn't a popular thing for some around here. Trust me, I know. And believe me, I really don't like saying a guy should get fired. But a guy SHOULD get opportunities to get better. Sometime a more sage eye is needed to help someone younger along.
This is my plug for bringing in former USF head coach Charlie Strong as co-defensive coordinator.
