Behind in score isn’t the same as losing all that time. Purdue had the early gift on the muffed punt. And most of the day, we outplayed them. It just took the entire game to erase that early lead.
10 mil ?
He just got absolutely smoked after AM made their second half adjustments (a common anti Schiano talking point) , fans fled and AM fans owned their stadium just last night. Absolutely no different result than Oregon RU except LSU/Kelly have way more resources than RU/Greg.
I will take a 45 year old HC with a 77-44 record, absolutely.
You do realize that Nick Saban, Urban Meyer, Brian Kelly were HC in the MAC
The biggest name that came from Toledo is Nick Saban, was there one year 1990. Crazy thing is he turn down an application from a young coach looking for a job, named Urban Meyer
I think you are arguing at least part of my point rather than against it. I agree with you.
Bush league sorta like a Tampa Bay HC having his DL got all out on a kneel down
How many scores was he down? I actually don’t remember but I will guess, 1 score.
It's one thing if the coach got fired for losing. It's a whole other thing if they got fired for not winning National Championships.
Kelly had a NIL fund of $18 million to buy this years team......No RU coach will ever that kind of resources for players
College football has passed him by. A has been
Right on, Senor Queso. The best teams, which he never beat, left the BE and RU moved up to fill the void for a few years until the backfill became better teams too, even UConn. Just look at his last two conference records back then.
OOOH . 19 years ago after Ray Rice and Brian Leonard fell into his lap when cuse screwed up and he got them and and he had a serious OC (McNulty) with (not even overlay ) creative play calling with passes to the TE (Clark), Wheel routes (BL), Screens, pitches to Ray, etc.
At the top schools it’s not fans paying for NIL or coach buyouts, it’s mega-rich boosters. At those schools, fans get to just be fans and don’t have to be responsible for giving all their hard-earned money to players. It’s enough that they buy tickets and jerseys, etc.
Mario is from the Schiano tree. Is he the only HC from this tree? A grifter, who has underperformed everywhere he has been. But he learned from the master.
I find it hard to believe that Keli bought into Greg is the guy and he just needs more resources to win. Mario has more resources and double the salary of Manny Diaz at Duke, and a worse record.
Manny Diaz is being paid $4M.
I did the math in another thread. Paying Greg off now @ $23M is either less expensive or only slightly more expensive than keeping him if we pay a new HC $4M. Mora, a MAC coach, Paul Chryst, etc.

Maybe the point went over your head.
You’re right that Hobbs was a puppet but that doesn’t mean he wasn’t crappy in his own right. Further, what makes you think Zinn won’t also follow the mandate of the power players ? That‘s how you keep a job.
So do you think the politics of any of that has changed?
Saw it mentioned on one of the podcasts. That the year we were without an AD and the year prior Greg’s staff went from roughly 50 full time employees to more than 125.
Football operating budget went from 49M in 2023 to 64M in 2024. 6th highest in the B10 and 12th highest in the country last year.
Yep. For all the people that say we don’t have the money and can never compete recruiting wise. We didn’t implement the money properly. We had near the top of all d1 in recruiting budgets.
Maybe with a new President and an AD focused on winning on the football field instead of scoring romantically with a coach.
