Looks like Michigan's AD is mirroring our AD when in comes to supporting and defending the Head football coach in light of disappointing loses.

Going from a run based offense to a spread offense is a major undertaking, I assume the same can be said if you are going form

a spread to a run based attack. The fact is, it's going to take time for things to click and when it does, all this pain we are faced with now will be a distant

memory.

If we had lost 4 games by a combined 38 points and beaten a top 10 team, I bet you'd see a lot more patience.

look at tx. tech.

I did. They have some pretty big boys on the OL. Besides, Deloach should be able to recruit our defensive help with his track record.

Michigan fans won't wait 4-5 years for 3 wins in a season. Auburn just fired an offensive coordintor because of only 3 wins, and Clemson just canned their head coach in mid-season. There is no patience at the BS level....too many donors will complain with their wallet.

Once again I will use the Rice example. Coach Graham turned a one win Rice team that ran a triple option offense into a winner his first year. Not to mention in a tougher Conference than our own. Losing is one thing but looking absolutely horrible while doing it is entirely another. I will quote my coworker and friend that I embarrassingly took to the Rice game here in Houston. "That is the worst defense and special teams play I have ever seen in my life". Generally a pretty positive guy.

Sorry, but talent or no talent you still have to execute. Our players don't look like they know what sport they are playing sometimes. Reminds me of when I was little kid on my first soccer team. "Hey quit trying to catch that butterfly!"

My hope is this, Dodge was considered a genius at the High School level. Generally people who are great at their jobs know how to evolve and overcome. One formula does not fit all situations. Hopefully Dodge is this kind of man. Hopefully we have the guy that can figure out what HE is doing wrong and make the necessary changes. I am up to sending this program 2500 a year. I can hear the old man now, "quit throwing good money after bad!" But , what can I do? This is my alma mater and I love it. So hopefully Dodge and company will eventually prove to me it is money well spent. We shall see.

Give Dodge a chance to get his recruits in here. He has one year of recruiting so far.

Minimum 4-5 years on the job before we throw in the towl and start over.

I see what you're saying on Auburn, but I think Clemson is a poor comparison. Tommy Bowden was at Clemson for 10 years. While the mid-season argument has some merit, I think it's safe to say that the Clemson fans had some impressive patience in waiting for Bowden to win them a title.

What's the big deal about the transition other than needing a different sort of quarterback.... and receivers..... and oh yeah offensive linemen.

For what its worth, the first two years of ASU coaching transition weren't bad, the third year was a disaster with only three wins and only two other competitive games (one was Ole Miss and it was the most important game for ASU because a d-back recruit visiting Ole Miss that day called ASU and asked if we were still interested in him as a QB), the next year we went to the New Orleans Bowl.

?? Tommy Bowden was 72-45 with eight bowl appearances at Clemson. 3-3 this season and now fired? But we have patience at 2-16. :blink:

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I am torn on what to do with EM, but I know he needs to go. Many say we need a HC with head coaching experience at the FBS level. I know there are HCs at other FBS programs doing more with less, but would they come to a place where historically it's difficult to win consistently and risk it all if their eye is ultimately on a power conference job? Then if you take a P4 conference former HC, they have most likely been fired and they may not get the mojo back like Tom Herman at FAU or Charlie Strong. So, if that is the case where do we go? Many are saying no FCS HC or no more coordinators who have not been a HC at this level. Again where do we go if not those type of guys? My thought is that you may have to hire that guy that this board has been reluctant to go after. That's the guys who have had issues somewhere else and that's why they are no longer where they are. Lane Kiffin had issues and FAU gave him the chance to resurrect his career. Alabama gave Sarkisian (spelling) a chance to resurrect his career and he is doing good things at Texas. We have tried a lot of things, but we have not tried that route of HCs with some skeletons in their past. I feel that if that coach wins, people will forget about their past. I am sure people at Texas have forgotten about what went down with Sark at USC. Just my opinion because we have been striking out for a long time on HCs.

      In case you’re a Yeti collector

      YETI has a collegiate collection. I didn't get a chance to snag one of the above, so I'm hoping that UNT will become available on their website. Eventually?

      You mean the playbook that famously can be drawn out on a napkin?

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I'm not sure what the path is for Cobbs long term. A lot of us would absolutely love to have him in a HC role in Denton, but we want to see him gain HC experience first. Do we take a chance and give him that crown? Do we watch him leave, and possibly not return...ever?
