Realistically the AAC will have between 5-6 bowl games against the P5.  The 5 tie ins if the SEC can fill 10 spots for the Gasparilla and most likely a NY6.  We have definitely separated ourselves fro

I think we are perhaps becoming the actual 6th best conference and even if I think the drop off from 5 is so significant and 6th place so perfectly middling that it’s a dumb thing to celebrate I am st

It means we get to not drown as quickly, get a better view to watch the survivors drift away, and maybe get to listen to some music and dine on some nicer food as we wait for the sweet release of deat

All the cards are falling into place. We have a great out of conference schedule and the AAC has more P5 match ups during bowl season. The Football Gods are shining their light on us......P6 baby!!!! :04-rock:

AAC is not the Big East but I'm not exactly suicidal about it either

Did you guys ever go to an event where he spoke?  He fired the crowd up. Had me wanting to put on the pads and I was damin near 60.  Speaking wasn't his downfall.  Not closing out games and/or his choice of DCs did him in.

Yes I heard him speak in person on many occasions and he didn’t inspire me quite as much as he inspired you. However my comment was strictly based on his looks which also never inspired confidence to me. I am however a CJL mark. I found him Inspiring. I liked his passion. I liked his dedication. I found him engaging. I found him funny and I didn’t want him to go. I felt I tried to give CSH a chance but I am sure I actually didn’t. I hated pretty much everything about him and I’m not sure there is much he could have actually done to change my mind because I hated that he was here to begin with (although some of his decisions certainly help fan the flames of my ire not that I needed any help with that). He did however seem like a nice enough guy that was put into a pretty winless situation.

I don’t have the background however not sure why he was in a winless situation.  He took a team that was strong and went 8-5 the first year,   Led off the next year with a win over ND and proceeded to lose 8 of the last 12 and then 3-9 the last year.  They got progressively worse, the talent disappeared, the defense was slow and small.  The team was unwatchable, boring, uninspired and appeared there was absolutely no player development.  i am not sure if I like CJL more than I hate Skippy.  Likable or not he was straight A$$, and his dad was a d-bag as well.  He set the program back to a level that at least makes me appreciate the little wins again.

Because short of winning a national title or close to it a certain percentage of the fanbase was never going to fully accept him. Granted he didn’t help himself but for people like me it probably wouldn’t have mattered much.

The quality of players went down because he was given a different criteria for bringing them in ...... and it’s funny how “Skippy’s” been a successful head coach everywhere but here.

A successful coach that couldn’t beat the coach he went on to replace but I digress
