Southern Miss - 48 UNT - 23

How about one of the finalists Texas doesn't hire. Seems to have worked out well that way for the QBs they haven't picked.

I guess I see what you're saying, but they'd still destroy us.

It's ridiculous. If the university doesn't have enough power to force an exception take the damn misdemeanor. Hard to believe this would happen anywhere else.

Seriously?

Does the insurance Neddle nose Ned provide a buy out clause? Question no info, cause i needed to do that once.

He's the best back I've seen in the Mac era. If he cramped after missing the first 2 weeks, that's crap. It's on him, but this looks like a poorly coached team in every facet of the game.

Neal Smatresk is our only hope.

He's in denial. He won't even pronounce his last name correclty. Yeah, I said it.

I'm assuming you are of the money giving ilk. The amount that matters anyway. Sadly, with all the things you listed, it's not enough. Let's do this: Donors: we have recieved money, but it is for projects like improving facilities that are only 10 years old, like the athletics offices, locker room, and meeting rooms. Ticket Sales: they are garbage. Less than 5k season tickets if I recall, and I'm one of those idiots. No money coming from that. Body Bag games: still necessary - see above - mainly pays for the non revenue sports. Unless we pay almost half of that for an fcs, see previous rants. Student Fees: middle of CUSA in this area, at best. Renting Stadium? When? HS games? July 4? That's it, so bacsciallt $0. Vendor - break even CUSA - while they earned near the top of the G5 the total was like $15 mil split 12 ways. So...meh. So if you have any other $ ideas I'm sure they need it.

How is that a reach sir? You aren't new here. I too, do not buy RVs money excuse for his poor scheduling. I might be the biggest schedule hater on the board. Look at my posts. But as far as having money to buy out Mac, it will take a donor with deep pockets who wants to pay for him to go away for that to happen. My hope would be for Smatresk to get involved, fire RV move Mac to AD and have help from a firm to hire a head coach. That way the university absolves some of that money and we can afford a decent coach. Outside of an angry donor paying for it we can't do it.

People expect better. Bout damn time the Univeristy did as well. Money, stadium, etc, are commited now. Time for them to commit to winning standards.

Really? Benford or any other coaching situation should make that clear. We can't Schedule correctly because of money. We sure as hell cant buy out 5 years of the most expensive coaching contract we've ever had.

How did today hurt? Our asses are numb from all these spankings. I just pretend like it hurts until it's over and hope they don't notice and make it worse. Like losing to James Madison.

Leach, absolutely wasn't coming here 5 years ago. We didn't have the $. Still don't, really, even if we didn't have to pay off Dan. Hell, WSU can't afford the Leach buyout right now. Leach is still a dream. A dream I would fully endorse. But not likely. We can't eat 2 contracts, so fire RV and move dan to AD.

That's all great, but we all know Mac has 5 years on his deal right? And I think our AD has a similar deal. You can't buy out both, or any of them really. But nobody wants RV to hire the next guy. I think Dan might make a decent AD considering what we could get, and we only have to buy off 1 guy instead of 2.

I hate the play calling, but have you seen our freaking qb? That's why he should be fired. That and DAN has an extension. I still say move McCarney to AD and find a coach.

The best thing that happened was also the worst thing that happened. The smoke and mirrors of 2013. I was at or watched every game like most here. That season was a fluke. We were blinded by facts because of results. Our offense wasn't great. Our D, while solid, wasn't as good as it looked on paper. It was opportunistic as all get out. So was special teams. Our schedule wasn't great that year either. But it was fun, not going to lie. I enjoyed the hell out of that bowl win. But man, looking back now...red flags everywhere. When McCarney was hired, I had a big ? over my head. But initially I thought...he can get the foundation of this program to a point where 5 wins is guaranteed (before the cusa jump and we were winning 1 a season) and then a new guy can take over and get us ahead...a la the Chad Morris or that ilk. Now I wonder if Franchione would be better, and if it's possible Leach is fired and available. Screw updated 10 year old locker rooms. Move McCarney to AD and hire Leach. That $5 mil or whatever should cover that.

I understand the frustration, but he needs to ignore this stuff and focus on the team. Criticism comes from a place of caring, and frankly with this program and the lack of so called "good times", there are a lot of fed up people who care. It's not personal. This isn't high school. There is money and time and pride invested. So, things aren't always going to be positive. Especially with all the negative results year after year.

Thanks for the gift Iowa! An offensive touchdown? Is this heaven?

So many unforced penalties.

Get indecisive Jimmerson out of there.

Worst 3rd down defense in the country...

This is the worst team McCarney has fielded.
