I've seen enough. Both need to be called unemployed
No!!! If we did that after one season. we would lose total credibility and respect in the process of hiring another coach(s). We would have to pay outrageously for the next ones.

I don't think that is the case with the way we hired him and the situation that happened. We didn't fire Leach, he died, and we made a quick decision to hire internally to stabilize the program. We didn't even have an AD at the time. If we had done a national search and picked him out of a pool of candidates or had hired someone else from outside then you would be correct. I'm not sure we should fire him yet, but I think we could at the end of year and no one would look poorly on us. However, if we do fire him, we better make it a good one because we will need to give that coach at least 3 years.

I dont think it’s a coaching issue. I think it’s a talent issue. Which still partially falls on them.

Not a talent issue when we continued to cover lsu's best receiver with a safety. Or to keep covering USCe's receiver m2m and 9 yards off.

Yea we went 9-4 last year, 4-8/5-7 points to coaching not talent.
We had 2 NFL players last year and 1 practice squad guy. Not coincidentally they all played the positions killing is.

We scored 30 points on the road. We only scored 30 offensive points 1 time in the sec last year and that was at home against Ark. in our 3 road swing games last year we scored 16, 10 and 24. We just weren’t that good offensively last year.

LOL, the 9th win wasn’t an SEC win. Very misleading.

Yeah I assumed we had enough knowledgeable fans that understood what I was saying. How about this- we weren’t very good in the sec or against any P5 teams that made a bowl….does that work? Does that more clearly represent that we just weren’t that good on offense?

We weren’t a playoff team last year, but we’ were pretty good. Well coached and a tough team.

Im seeing something quite different this year. I think by the end of the year there won’t be any room for spin.
