No, I am trying to get you to answer the question about how many elite coaches you believe are currently coaching in FCS based on your criteria that elite coaches win championships. Dude, this question isn't rocket science. I haven't even referred to Bobby in a post.
Now I regret the post.
Support is huge! I agree with that first statement outside of the fact we aren't getting 10 wins every year. I know what it Looked like when Stitt was here. again, I am not calling for any firings.
I have no idea, honestly. I have no idea how good some of these coordinators or position coaches throughout the league are. I have no agenda and just wanted to hear some thoughts on what people thought.
There is one based on your definition. A coordinator or position coach can not be considered elite by your definition.
alright Helena, Uncle. You got me. I shot myself in the foot with how I defined elite.
How do you feel about SDSU's previous coach John Stiegelmeier? Honest question.
I think your analysis is wrong. Everyone wants to win, of course. In the last fifteen years, a total of three current FCS teams have won a title. NDSU being a juggernaut does not make Hauck any worse of a coach.
UNDSU could hire your beefalo wife while nobody would even notice and her only qualification is how far up a public wall she can pee.
I agree we have a good thing going right now. if it ain't broke don't fix it. I don't think my post was as insulting as some seem to think.
I think Hauck is a very good coach, and exactly what we needed when we hired him back. Nobody else could've turned it around as quick here in my opinion.
I think your primary issue is comparing Franklin/Penn St to Hauck/Montana. These situations couldn't be more different. The money involved in P4 FBS football forces decisions that are not even a considered issue at the FCS level.
That's valid. I didn't pay much attention to them until around 2017 tho. He had a lot of down years, but never was a visible program until his end. It's a great story. How much did Jimmy Rogers play into that success?
I'm not saying that the question is unfair, I was just providing my answer to your question. Always enjoy your thoughts and a good debate. I think you are confusing "has not won a national title" with "cannot win a national title."
1000%. I couldn't agree more. I know that a bad hire sets this program way further back than Penn State. They can afford to have a major scandal and $50 Million payout. I also think that if we didn't hire Hauck back in 2018 thing could've gotten even more dire.
Considering he was a coach there from 2013-2024, I'd say a lot, but not in the way you seem to be suggesting.
I disagree, if the $$$ wasn't the biggest thing driving FBS football, I don't think Franklin gets fired. Gundy should have been fired seasons ago because he turned OSU into a dumpster fire, not because he couldn't get over the proverbial hump. Neither of these are relevant to Montana and Hauck.
Gundy should have been fired when he got caught leaking negative stories about his own players to the press and then attacking the press for printing them.
Franklin got fired because of Cignetti. Oklahoma State had 4 winning seasons before Gundy got there. They are all relevant because this is college football and this is the landscape of college football. We are playing under the same rules, just different money. Gundy didn't turn anything into a dumpster fire, he just didn't want to play the portal game. Won 10 games in 2023.
