That would be an even bigger mistake than hiring him in the first place. This is Croom II. The sooner we realize it & do something about it, the better.
Even Coach O **** the bed before finally getting it together!**********
I think we should hire croom back. He is rested and ready.
No sarcasterisks.
Who fires a coach after one season? Who has ever fired a coach after one season? It’s an honest question. I can’t think of any, maybe ya’ll can. Now, people are calling for Cohen’s firing as well-and some of the ones calling for it were talking about how great the “Intense Bastard” was just a year ago. Most of the problems (not all, but most) with the offense could be corrected with a QB who is just an average passer-which I don’t think we have on this roster currently. The QB’s on this roster are all of the same type-run mainly, pass very little, which is what Mullen wanted to run his offense. Speaking of Moorhead’s “pass-happy” inclinations, I was sitting in that stadium earlier tonight and I don’t recall us passing very much. When we did pass, the other team was catching it. Fitzgerald was a better passer last year-this year his body language makes it appear that this offense requires him to think and make decisions based upon a lot of things-and he looks uncomfortable like a deer in the headlights. I’m thinking this is as much mental (or perhaps mainly) mental as it is physical with him. Moorhead isn’t going to be fired, that’s pretty much guaranteed-and ya’ll know it. He won’t be fired after one season because that just isn’t done.

This isn’t 0-12, but to answer your question directly, Ellis Johnson was fired from USM after one year of going 0-12, in 2012, and pretty much this level of ineptitude. But it was across the board ineptitude. Not just offensive.
So your answer is an 0-12 coach? Congrats on year 2 Moorhead.
I wouldn't let Cohen live with a damn thing for two years. We may not can fire Croomhead but there is absolutely no reason to not reassign Cohen this morning.
^^^^^^^^^^^You talk about getting rid of Moorhead as if your opinion actually counts or that you will actually be involved in the firing process. Reality check: Moorhead is not going anywhere for the next several years. He will be allowed to recruit his own qb and his own players to run his offense and rightfully so.
Everybody in the country talked about what a great hire the guy was now all you message board heros knew better all along. It really is an OM level rewrite of past events.
What really amazes me is that you guys haven't realized that we have to hire a coach that knows to win on a large scale that you have to have a passing QB. The days of 3 yards and a cloud of dust are over. Moorhead is attempting to make that change. He cant help he inherited a high school level qb.
To answer your question - USM fired Ellis Johnson after one year.
People need to put down the bong pipe if they actually think Cohen will fire him after this season. Or that he even needs to. We would be more toxic than OM if we did that. Not a single coach that anyone on this board would want to have would give us even a slight look, if Cohen cut him loose after one year. Cohen apparently made a bad hire. He’s going to have to live with it. IMO, at least three years. In order to say he gave him a chance to get his players in the program. It’s not ideal. Nor is it going to be pleasant. But it’s reality. Not message board wishful thinking.
Ellis Johnson at USM was a unique situation. Wherin, USM can’t attract any top notch coach, anyway. So, it was more advantageous for them to cut bait after the one year of futility. And don’t say Todd Monken was a top notch coach. He wasn’t on anyone’s radar to get a head coaching position at any power 5 conference school. He worked his *** off at USM, and it turned out alright for him. Not great. And he got so burned out working his *** off that he decided to take his **** to the nfl as a position coach.
