My first call for a possible Fedora replacement goes to...
- Thread starter keysersosay#1
- Start date
No one is saying hire him because of that. We're saying he would be liked by the liberal faculty and boosters.
Don't be like those people. They embarrass themselves.
This season's terrible results along with last year's identical embarrassing results would be enough to get any coach fired.
We're talking about an abysmal product on the field. He's completely lost the confidence and support of the entire fan base.

I think Jon Gruden must have the same agent.
I need this dude to represent me at my next job review.
He's done so bad that I doubt he'll have any offer from any school if he were to be fired.
Yep. Sadly, UNC is about the only D1 school that will keep him employed for another couple seasons.
It's time for a change Bubba. Please!
I can't imagine any school that would keep a coach with 2 wins against D1 schools in 2 years, and both wins were the same team. Not to mention, being humiliated in some of the losses. His record against ECU is ridiculous.
A labor of love for Fitzgerald.......he is a Northwestern grad and is there because he believes in his school and his school believes in him.
I agree. But he is a Chicago native and Northwestern grad. He aint ever leaving that job voluntarily for any other.
I wish we had an alum like that - a football version of Roy or Fox.
If PSU has another average year, I could see them parting ways with Franklin. He’s 3-12 against OSU, MSU, and UM. The natives are getting restless in Happy Valley.
I would take him.
He's got a rollercoaster record, but I don't think he would be a horrible option. He's only making two million a year, but like others have said he's a NW grad.
Guys like him and Cutcliffe are dependent on redshirting a bunch of fundamental-type guys and making a little noise when they have a roster of experienced RS Jrs and Srs. Even then, it’s usually 8ish wins.
I would be ok with eight right now. Whoever we hire next will most likely be a bridge coach to get to the guy that will have us in position to win the acc.
Me too. But if we go the bridge route, we need to play it safe. This is such a shitty situation for Bubba to handle.
PSU is still dealing with the fall out from the Sandusky mess. I don't see Franklin getting fired unless he slips back to consecutive 7 win seasons.
Campbell May well be focused on a b10 job. However he may be more focused on a job where he could aim for the natty. Give him a commitment and insist he gives us a chance. He would have more talent than he had when he went to Toledo and iOS st. He has proved he can build a program. UNC can offer him money and promise that UNC wants him to reach hishis goals which are similar to ours. Proven accomplishment must weigh heavily in next coach.
His tree has been picked pretty clean the last few years
I'm in the minority on this one I think Alabama is as dirty as nuclear plutonium... I would like someone like Purdue's head coach or a Dabo Swinney type guy. Heck I think we should look at Walt Bell and Seth Littrell
That puts you in the majority. I think there's only 1-2 people here who would disagree with you.
So, here's a question: the service academy teams running this offense succeed often, against inn conferences that play them enough to be familiar with the offense. Certainly, the offense must look familiar when they play each other. So, why is the conventional wisdom that these offenses are easily defended when there is no surprise factor?
As far fans, I think there will be excitement if we win enough. The fans (including me) enjoyed watching Bill Dooley's teams win, and that may have been the most boring offense ever.
Bell is not ready for a P5 HC job. Littrell is an OU guy who, if the rumors are true that Riley's dream job is the Cowboys comes to fruition, will be campaigning hard for the OU job. And many OU boosters will back him.
During the Army/Navy game last year, Army ran only one (1) true triple option play the entire game.
Dooley ran the option out of a Wing-I formation that netted Don McCauley an NCAA rushing record of 1720 yards in 1970.
In 1970, McCauley broke O.J. Simpson’s NCAA single-season record for rushing yards. His 1,720 rushing yards that season remains the most for a season at Carolina. His 2,021 all-purpose yards that season is also tops in program history. McCauley led the nation in rushing and all-purpose yards in 1970

"Don McCauley’s senior season signaled the resurgence of the North Carolina Tar Heels and the beginning of “Tailback U.” His nation and conference leading statistics placed a spotlight on Chapel Hill and began UNC’s tradition of producing top running backs. McCauley was Carolina’s first 1,000-yard rusher, and starting with that first milestone in 1969, the Tar Heels produced 23 1,000-yard rushers in the next 24 seasons."
People used to hunt with muskets and use dueling pistols to solve problems.
Looks like Football Scoop thinks that Seth is a possibility too.

That could happen. Not near my first choice, but it would be much better than keeping Fedora.
