The problem with "give him more time"

[Shamoan]

First of all, this is the most talented and experienced team Moorhead will ever have.

Second, and most importantly, say we give him 3 years to get "his guys" in his system. His system is extremely pass heavy and let's get crazy and say that a big 10 or a big 12 offense predicated on a great passing game simply won't work here. After 3 years, what we already knew pans out and we fire Moorhead, we are stuck with guys that will only fit his system and the new guy has to be given 3 years to recruit the type of guys we had before hiring Moorhead. That is a 6-8 year gamble I'm not willing to take.

this isn't Fordham with a bunch of whiteguy try-hards. If you won't run the football in the sec, you have ZERO chance of winning.

Who is saying give him more time?

We will give him more time, and I'm ok with that. Moorhead inherited one of the worst QBs in the SEC, a terrible offensive line and the worst WRs in the country. All of this talk about hiring a new Coach is a waste of time. I want to see what he can do with Key and some legit WRs.

Exactly. I'd hire a PI today hoping to find something we can fire him for with cause (half kidding)

Did you forget the sarcastricks? If not, this is one of the dumbest posts I’ve ever seen

I’m fine with giving him one more year IF he can show he can bring in the quality that he’s going to need to do the job. After the past two games, I’m not sure who would want to come play. I don’t want to become the UTK of the West.

As bad as it seems, we can’t fire him after one year. He’d have had to gone o’fer. We’d never get another coach to even look at us if we fired him after one year. Apparently, he’s pretty respected in the coaching circles. Whatever that means.

I’m sorry, if you really think Key is any better of a passer than Fitz, you haven’t seen him play.

That’s why Moorhead’s got to adapt his playbook to our strengths. We’ve got a sophomore QB who’s virtually the same thing as Fitz (maybe a little different style runner, but still much better runner than passer), and a damn good sophomore RB. Whatever isn’t working for JoMos offense today will not be working in October of 2019.

You know what else is respected in the coaching circles? Cash, and we could get someone using it. Neal Brown would come, and we'd be in much better hands

Can we fire him after two? New coach needs to try and do something with kylin hill. He is being totally wasted by our inept coach. We need to do what is right for our university regardless of optics because if you make decisions based on how everyone views you, you end up with a cluster17 of a rebuild like we had after rick ray.

If he goes 4-8 we have to fire him. This isn't a rebuild but if we let him stay too long it will be.

Also, speaking to the implication that, "we will scare off potential great candidates because we treated our former coach so poorly", we just hired an offensive coordinator from the big 10 after 9 winningest years we have ever had. Our second option for the head coach position only has wins over East Tennessee and utep. To hell with how it looks.
