Good catch. Wikipedia had it wrong. Solich win it and they gave Osborne Coach if the decade that year
No one has won it twice so it's all down hill from here. Seriously though, how has Saban only won that award once?
Because COY is an award for the perception of overachieving. It’s why Wilcox or Rich Rod are probably the leading candidates if they make a bowl game. Especially Rich Rod... I bet he wins it if they beat SC and win the South.
It's got to be James Franklin or Kirby Smart's to lose at this point, no? Right now I'd give the nod to Smart who is winning with a freshman QB.
At this moment, you’re probably right. What about Brian Kelly?
They have some tough games coming up - if they run the table they will be in the playoff and I guess it would depend who is there with them. I fully expect them to drop a game or two down the stretch which would eliminate Kelly.
Pretty weak schedule, but they are killing teams. Could come down to that final weekend if UCF and USF square off undefeated.
True but they were winless two years ago. Winless to NY6 in two years would be quite the turnaround.
Very true.
And then promptly turn the Nebraska job down when they offer!
I can understand the frustration that we have been recruiting like **** for years and being tired of getting hopelessly outclassed athletically at times when our scheme doesn't cover for it.
Saban.
I'm intrigued by the possibility of what this program could become with a staff that emphasizes recruiting, just like everyone else, but it seems like throwing **** against the wall and seeing what sticks to simply say "MacIntyre should be fired". Slider, Big Jim, Drunk Panda, Nor Cal Buff, etc. have all talked tough about it (although Big Jim sucks and has gone silent again), but no one has been realistic about it from a financial perspective, or provided specific names they believe would get this program the right mix of coaching and recruiting to get to the next level.
I can hear the Women's Studies Dept. mobilizing just at the reading of this post... I might even join them.
Hah.
Yeah, its pretty pointless to talk about firing him at this point in time, unless something really bad happens behind scenes. However, every time we go down this road, some think there won't be any good options. CU is still a P5 School and has a lot of added advantages they didn't have the last time around. There will be plenty of interest from good to great coaches.
I think so. I can't see MikMac going anywhere after this season, even if CU goes 4-8. Maybe, and it is a big maybe, he gets another gig, but the end of next season is the earliest I could see any kind of serious discussion about replacing him, and that is still probably a year early.
I'm not sure it matters who the "fire Mac" crowd wants. They may be wrong or they may be right, but in the end I trust Rick George to make a very good hire if he lets MM go. He's done wonders for the AD as a whole, and I don't think he's made a bad HC hire yet. Granted, I think the only two are:
That's fine, but more just curious who "the other side" thinks is the solution, since they like to constantly say "I told you so".
