Class gets out at 4:45 this friday. Might have just enough time to make it to the game.

Photoshop Willie's head on a whale.

No fan of Butch really, he managed to start what has become the worst carousel of QB's in the NFL (RIP my Browns) :c Plus we'd have to find a way to pull him from his cushy job. Dino Barbers just started coaching at BG. Even if I was convinced he could do it (and I'm not), we don't have the resources to buy him out and pay him XD Mark Hudspeth is a guy to look for. Proven winner. With better talent and resources at his disposal, he could do big things here.

I was on the sidelines the last time we played Syracuse at home. Lets hope we don't repeat a meltdown like that. Homecoming must be a win!

Nice to have a few winners. Hope the Men's Soccer team can keep up the good work. Not as worried about the ladies. :3

They'll put up at least 40 on us, but I think their defense is bad enough that even our offense could keep it within 2 scores late in the game.

Butch Jones has the same problem as Willie: he can't finish games. Only difference is he has a quarterback and more overall talent. XD

I think he'd take any school but UCF. He has no love for UCF and they probably don't want him there either except to slap us in the face.

I hope the team is as hyped as you right now. Can you send them your energy?

Well. Its not pretty. But a win is a win. Well done ladies.

SMU and UCF look safe. With UCF only averaging 14 points a game, we can beat them with our 17 point average :3 Then SMU isn't exactly a complete team yet, but they are improving. We can win though. I think we beat 'Cuse and then drop the UConn game because that's just our luck. Lose all the rest. End up 3-9 and its time to Free Willie.

We can dream of that New Year's Six invite. Maybe when they expand the playoff in 2022 a G5 school can get in.

I just don't want to be some guy's first foray into head coaching. If he sucks, we get three more years of no bowls and no hope. I'd like a guy with head coaching experience who can win. And not get us in trouble with the NCAA

Not too fond of Butch Davis. Partially because of the academic things at NC, partially because of what he started with my Browns :c Quaterbacks galore. Not sure he'd solve that problem here!

Agree. Assistants are very important to pay well. This was just the list of HC's that are proven winners. Didn't look at DC's or OC's of the Power 5 yet. Figured we would want a proven guy.

We don't block well and most of our plays are short yardage. We don't run deep passes often, so the opponent can afford to stack the box with 7 and counter the run all day. Without the bigs to push forward and without the solid blocking fundamentals, Mack can't move. I also agree with the above statement that Mack is getting the ball closer to the line this year. Plays need to develop faster and this team needs to go for more mid-to-big yardage plays.

I like the look of Memphis. But I won't count out Cinci! They have a good team when they come together.

I figured I may as well look at some nice ones :3 I believe we are paying Willie $1,150,000/year right now. Tried to be optimistic anyway XD Northern Illinois HC Rod Carey (25-7) is a possibility. Coaching since 1994. Though he is only in year 3, his teams are able to win some big games. Very offensively minded. Mostly a northern guy, he's still early on in his Head Coaching career at NIU. But his brand is pretty strong. Current contract is $400,000/year. Toledo HC Matt Campbell (28-13) has brought Toledo a few big wins since 2012. Coaching since 2003. No losing seasons. He's also offensive minded but his defenses play rough too. Been up north all his life, wonder if he wants a warmer climate? Current contract pays out $470,000/year. Louisiana Lafayette HC Mark Hudspeth (103-37 all time, 37-16 at L. Lafayette) has 4 straight 9-win seasons and 4 straight bowl victories. Coaching since 1992. Worked with Wide receivers and as an Offensive Coordinator before being head coach at Northern Alabama and then Louisiana Lafayette. Current Contract pays out at $1,000,000/year. Marshall HC Doc Holliday (42-26) This one is a bit of a stretch though, looks like he loves West Virginia. He does have coaching experience in Florida, being an associate HC and recruiting Coordinator under Urban Meyer from 2005-2007. Been in coaching since 1979, he's the total package. Not sure we have a shot though but I admire his work. Current contract pays out at $607,000/year.

I've attended every Women's Home Basketball game for 3 years now. Its the only sport I've done that for the last 3 years. They deserve this ranking. Definitely one of the best teams we have and one of the best in the country. (I'd attend soccer but soccer puts me to sleep)

5-7 and a win over UCF may provide a nice conversation at the end of the year. But without a bowl game this rebuilding process has been for nothing. :c

I agree. Not sure we can afford another coach right now. They won't fire Taggs in the middle of the year. It will entirely depend on whether or not we lose 8 games again and they think Taggart staying next year will drive down ticket sales too much. But knowing the administration, they will just increase student fees again to pay for all the operating loss. :')

Offense was abysmal. Only one good drive out of them tonight. Special teams allowed Maryland to win the position battle and gave up huge returns. Defense held Maryland most of the time, but Maryland has great Deep Threat receivers and our defensive secondary is clearly not talented enough to keep up with them. Overall, this loss can mostly be attributed to offensive inefficiency and Special Teams failures. 3 big yardage plays surrendered is a concern as well.

My Brownies will give him a run for his money Sunday when we start Johnny Football and he throws 3 picks :') The Browns have prepared me all my life for USF football.

And hey! Look at that. 17 points. Our favorite number
