Agree! 100% True, no matter what you thought of Fulmer! The "MEDIOCRITY BOYS" called for his head! And got it! Dude won 75% of his games!! We have a crappy reputation for all the whinning and negativity!! Stop it!! Your ruining it not only for yourselves but much of the fans across the country!! Plz!! It's not helping anything or anyone!! Think about it! From a Who wants to play here? Or Coach here? A school that has tradition of "Never give up" We Believe! So can you!! Because it boils down to being known as like the Steelers and the "TERRIBLE TOWEL"? or what we've become on Social Media!!! The "THROW IN THE TOWEL". The Coaches and Players need to know we are behind them! Because they are Our guys! Our Team! New! Day! New Coaches! Fresh start! We will win some games! We will be bowl eligible THIS YEAR!! may not go because of sanctions but we'll win more than we lose. Your welcome to shove this post in my face if I'm wrong! But I'm NOT! GOOO! BIG! DAMN! ORANGE!!!This attitude right here is why we can't get an elite coach for an elite school.
I hope whoever is considering us will overlook this kind of posting.
There are only two ways to make the "homerun" hire we all want. The first is to hire an elite coach. Saban, Meyer and Swinney were not options. Fisher chose aTm. Patterson and Petersen chose to stay put. Kelly chose UCLA and if you choose to consider Gruden an elite option, he apparently has chosen to stay in the NFL. Beyond the elite coaches, there is no doubt there are other good options like Gundy who chose to stay put, Mullen who chose to return to Florida or a dozen other current coaches that many think would win here. But if you truly mean it when you say you want a homerun, the only way to get one without getting one of the elite coaches is to hire a guy that has not been a head coach that may prove to be a homerun in hindsight. Hiring an elite SEC coordinator is not the same path as hiring a coach from a Non-Power 5 conference as we've tried with our last 2 hires. If you can just accept that we could not hire one of the elite coaches, why not be optimistic about a great coordinator becoming our homerun hire in retrospect?
