I don't care what it does as long as we get a new coach and clean slate for next season. 

Oh and a new AD. 

The co-interim thing was crazy, so I am glad that is done.

It was at least an overnight urban legend.

Many people reported it, sources were from the locker room, RV was asked directly about it and said he would neither confirm nor deny.  I think it was under consideration.

After the performance last night, Cosh needs to be gone, too. I defended Cosh after the SMU game because that was just our offense not staying on the field and the defense getting tired. Now every week it's just a marathon of our secondary not keeping up or turning around. Pitiful.

I will submit to lashing as well because I also defended Cosh after SMU. I thought the situation was as stated above after that game but the situation has gotten worse every game since then, at an accelerating pace. Sadly, IMO at this stage of the season we just have to see it through or risk making things even worse. JMO.

Canales did a fine job last time he was given this job. So far he been able to survive the firing of two failing coaches.The two interim approach was dumb. It will be interesting to see what changes Canales makes to the system now that he is calling the shots. If I remember correctly, his offense was more explosive, and used the shuttle pass very effectively. I see him getting Smith on the field and crafting the offense to fit his skills.

I have no idea how he might address the defensive issues.

Hmmm.  So if this plays out right, MiniMac will continue to play hard for us even though his surrogate father was given the opportunity to seek success elsewhere.  Then, in a few more games, he will get hurt and flash the talon to us as he's being carted off the field, leaving the keys to this thing to Demarcus Smith.   Is that how it goes?

Chico will open up all positions including QB.  The determining factor for playing time will be a 25 Question exam with 4 essay questions. Highest cumulative score at each respective position will start the game against WKU.

Please guys.   Remember to show your work.   The last thing you want are points taken off for not showing your work.

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I just hope Jared has been working the phones trying to gather up the money to get rid of this guy. We need to cut our losses before he tanks us like Mac did and we end up getting pummeled by some FCS program again.

      Eric Morris needs to go

      Regarding the guys with no FBS HC experience, I personally have no issue with that. If we pluck a HC from a lower level, it needs to be somebody with extensive HC experience. There's guy who spend almost 10 years as a lower level HC. Examples include Lance Leipold of Kansas who went 109-6 over 8 seasons at D3 Wisconsin-Whitewater before being hired at Buffalo. Bob Chesney of James Madison went 111-46 over the course for 14 seasons at various D2 and FCS schools. There's guys out there to be plucked. My choice is to promote from within with Cobbs. Cobbs may not work at HC and I know it's a huge leap in responsibility but you won't know unless you try and others haven't worked out. He's worked wonders at RB and he's been doing it for a while. I'm sure he's made connections over the course of his playing and coaching career and would surround himself with experienced winners. My biggest thing is he loves this school and would want to succeed for the love of the school and not just for his own career. I looked back at Boise State head coaches since 2001 and found every single BSU HC spent time coaching at BSU prior to becoming HC and a few played at BSU as well. Several were promoted to HC from within, some went and became coordinators elsewhere before returning as their HC, and only 2 had prior HC experience, Bryan Harsin and Dan Hawkins. Harsin actually left to become Texas's co-OC and then Arkansas State's HC for a 1 year before returning to BSU as their HC but he'd been a coordinator there prior and played at BSU. I believe he's currently on the market and only 48 if we wanted somebody with experience though poor recruiting was a complaint at Auburn. Boise State kind of debunks the whole "prior HC experience" requirement, though.

      Keebler has to go!

      Agreed. I would only do it again for a huge name that would excite the fan base, but make the contract heavily based on incentives over guaranteed money. For the Morris-type hires, three years with triggers to extend the contract automatically, like a conference championship buys the coach an extra year with a slight raise. Otherwise it is an annual discussion and negotiation.

      IF we have to keep Morris 🤢

      I would have already fired Morris but if he stays it needs to be with several conditions. 1) hand over play calling duties to an OC, either bringing in someone or elevating Davis or Cobbs to the position. (I think Davis already has the title but we know it is meaningless). 2) bring in a new ST coach 3) replace the strength and conditioning staff. Too many injuries this season and the team is gassed by the end of the game and getting steamrolled. 4) new DC needs to run a system that can stop the run and must be able to adapt throughout the season to account for opponents and personnel losses. And all of the above needs to be overseen by the AD’s office. And no contracts for more than one year. Obviously this means replacing most of the staff, which at its core means we should really fire Morris and bring in an experienced HC who already knows how to build a staff. But if we are being cheap, at least the assistants don’t require buy outs. I would also like to see the AD renegotiate Morris’ contract to reduce the base salary/buyout and increase the incentives for accomplishments, including bowl wins and championships.
