Even I will admit he didn't have enough time at FSU.

But his schtick doesn't play well and grates when the team isn't winning.

Still I have no sorrow for someone getting that kind of money for getting fired.

Maybe they just didn’t understand the nuances involved in why unlike every other losing record his was actually good. I’m sure if anyone took the time to explain that these were rebuilding losing records everything would have been just fine.

I think his bowl record is worthy enough to give him more time.

Who else has contributed to as many other people winning bowl games?

I mean if you are going to pick something to be myopic about having a winning record seems like a fairly good one for a head coach.

I do agree .... but so would be winning conference championships. 13 years without winning one doesn't paint a very successful picture, either.

While you know I’m going to say it’s because he was was constantly moving up in class while playing with the players he recruited the class below or even the one below that as in those 13 years we moved from FCS to BCS at the very least you can’t count until 2003 as we were FCS and FBS independents before that and therefore couldn’t win a conference championship.

I think it's interesting that one of the major problems at FSU was that the defense faded horribly in the 2nd half of games and they "promoted" the d-line coach, that's been there for 20 years, to interim HC ... again.

The FSU defense, can be solved with a few well placed headbutts.

So there could be extenuating circumstances in a coach’s career that could skew normal quantifiers ..... got it.

Was it by definition impossible for CWT to win more than half his games over a course of 10 years? Not being able to win a conference because you aren’t in a conference is not quite the same thing as being less than the median because it’s hard and you leave the first time you win to go to someone at the tail end of their down cycle.
