Holliday is good and his time at Marshall seemed to end with weird politics, not because of the product on the field. He's only one year removed from the game. If we can get him to coach 'til 70 (5 or 6 years) and groom a future HC under him...that's pretty tempting. Continuity is key to having a successful program.

Believe he left as a result of Joe Moorhead getting fired, meaning likely wasn't retained by new staff.

20+ yard TD run on what would have been the last play of the game to lose against the spread. Unbelievable.

And its still alive thanks to my boy Norrils!! Kato has had that check down all day...just hasn't thrown it/seen him.

You spoke too soon. The fact is we were plenty shorthanded to begin with. Playing a bunch of back ups only compounds this misery. This game can't get over soon enough.

I concur. However, I bet Michigan would have fired Harbaugh by this point if they wouldn't have owed him so much $$. They did make him take a pay cut IIRC. Same goes for Nebraska and Frost. Sometimes being hamstringed by your own dumb decisions can pay off. More patience is needed in CFB.

new coach needs to concentrate on defense defense defense.

I'm liking what I'm seeing out of Singleton.

3rd and 36 and they score a TD lol. Can we fire Feeney mid game?

Yes he is. Hard to believe he was benched for half the year...

perhaps, but kind of sucks. I don't see Watts or Boeteng in on defense either. At the very least, play Irons, Jankowski, or Marousek over Kato.

Looks like just about all back up WRs in as well. what is O-Rod doing?

Kato starting....yikes

New Mexico State ain’t a bad program.

I wonder if this is happening because an assistant coach or coaches already bailed. Good luck and congrats to him, regardless.

Does this mean you're leaving? Whether people agree or disagree with you, stick around!

Read that and thought the same. His resume there is pretty impressive. Letting him go after 1 bad season seems like an overreaction.

I’m not super excited about the names that seem to be in serious consideration, but that doesn’t mean they won’t/can’t be successful. The article also confirmed we are yet again using a search firm.

Throwing up some real crappy shots the past few possessions.

Zips are somehow 5 point favorites over Evansville. Do I double down?

Probably right....just surprised he doesn't have a better position right now being that he should still be quite highly regarded. CMU was able to hire McElwain after Florida fired him, however. So hiring a recent retread from a big time program isn't unheard of.

Tom Herman anyone? He worked Fickell-esque magic at Houston, is from Ohio/coached at OSU, and really didn't do that bad at Texas (especially compared to his successor). He's currently an analyst with the Bears and will soon be unemployed again once Nagy is fired...not that being analyst in the NFL is hard to compete against anyways. cc: @Cykron

I'd bet my left nut Arth would have won at least 3 games next year (likely more). If that's all our expectations are, he shouldn't have been fired. In my mind, the right guy will be able to at least flirt with bowl eligibility in year 1. These players have a lot of experience and will only continue to improve. The right coach should be able to keep the majority of talented payers and can bring in the right pieces to supplement our weaknesses. Its never been easier to turn a program around quickly with transfers now being immediately eligible AND getting an extra 7 scholarships a year to account for players who voluntarily enter the portal. We have the chance to bring in 32 new should-be quality players as a result.

I wouldn't be surprised if Trimble is 1/10 from 3 so far this game and at least 1/20 in the whole tourney. This is supposed to be his specialty..

I very well may have jinxed us..
