coaches hot seat

To the chagrin of many here probably, we didn't make the list, but an interesting blurb on a former coach who some still hold in high regard

The most interesting things to me are the names of some of the high profile P-5 schools whose HC’s are included on that list:
FSU
Nebraska
Michigan
VT
LSU
Wisconsin

Some programs that at one time were bastions of success. Long way to go this season and some of the coaches Forde mentions are actually off to good starts this season. But there is still a LONG way to go. And much about what schools/coaches are being scrutinized has to do with the huge expectations placed on them and then living up to them.
 
You could probably put every ACC coach not named Clawson or Dabo on that list. Although maybe Satterfield has turned it around enough to cool his seat at the moment.

Those expectations aren't really realistic. The O for Ohio State thing sure hurts, but it's not like he's doing a bad job at UM. He shouldn't be on any hot seat lists, imo.

Cornhusker's new motto "we are so close to winning some games". 🤔

You said just last week that they were one of the teams that could win a national championship (even though by your own standards they aren't), and yet you can't figure out why the fans don't think that not winning your division even once in six years and only finishing better than third in your division once in six years is good enough?

You realize I wasn't talking about a specific year, correct? I consider FSU & USC programs where you can win a national title as well, but they aren't going to anytime soon.

It's competition. Just because he hasn't delivered as much as they think he should doesn't mean they will do any better at this point in time if they fire him. Lloyd Carr didn't meet there expectations either when he was winning 9 & 10 games. Oh well...
 
Scott Frost has definitely not lost his team. The Huskers are so close to winning some games.
The biggest thing any school hast to look at when considering a coaching change is how do the donors feel.
The fans might whine a little at the record but the donors love Scott. He isn’t going anywhere in the next 2 years.

I was on board with your Harbaugh argument until this post.

If Michigan isn’t going to anytime soon, but are capable of being a NC program, than that has to be an indictment on Harbaugh.

I think the best argument for Harbaugh doing a good job is that Michigan isn’t that kind of program, and really hasn’t been one over the last 40 years.
 
at some point, you are what your record says you are.

Yeah, Obviously they suck, but they seem to be getting better. They held Michigan State to 14 yards in the 2nd half, only 1 in the 14th quarter.

If they remain competitive, they should think long and hard about bringing him back for another year. After all, he's a Nebraska legend and his record at UCF suggests he might have a clue as to what he's doing.

If you've paid any attention to him talking about national championship type programs and coaches over the last couple weeks one thing that is abundantly clear is that if you don't agree with what he says about it today, wait a few days and he'll say something different.
