Chances D'onofrio is fired mid season

[Hstokes1447]

What if this defense is top 25 this season???? Who will be man enough to admit he was wrong?

I am in no way saying this defense will be top 25, but I would like to have some bump worthy material if it does happen.

So you want people to say that the defense won't be top 25 so you have bump-worthy material, but you're not willing to say that the defense will be top 25 yourself. In other words, you are begging for other people to take a firm position so you can make fun of them if they're wrong, but you won't do so yourself.

Awesome post, man.

when coaches start firing their coordinators then its a matter of time until the HC gets whacked too
Rarely does that move work
That said I think this clip sums up the chances of the OP happening

Especially when you basically made your name as a DC too and your current DC is running your system. D'Onofrio firing Golden is more likely a scenario than what was proposed here. But you're right. Start firing coordinators and it's usually a sign of a sinking ship for the HC too. The most recent example of that is Mack Brown.

Well, what if we play Van Halen's song "JUMP" when folks who call suicide hotlines are put on hold?

What if the University sponsors a "Rob Lowe Home Movie Festival?"

Firing the DC would work IF the problem was your DC. At Texas the problem was Mack Brown. Mark Richt has fired them, he's in no danger. I think here however the problem does lie with the HC.

Randy Shannon was a local kid, former player, tenured coach, and a bright spot for the community. His players almost never got in trouble, they all graduated, and he still got axed quickly when it became apparent he didn't deserve any more chances. No idea why people think Golden has built up more goodwill with this administration than a guy like Shannon had.

thats where I'm at. no idea why these idiots keep parroting this idea that F.A.G. is untouchable. the guy is complete garbage. absolutely mind boggling that no changes on defense were made after the last 3 years

So then what's the problem? You should have trust in the Admin that they will do what is necessary when the time comes.
But instead you have the biggest bunch of collection of ******'s on this site moping about it all off-season.

what mental midgets like you dont realize is that the time has already come and passed. F.A.G. is a fraud.

The fans thought Butch's time had come and passed when they flew that banner, too. They were wrong. There's even a chance that they're wrong now, but I guess we'll all find out.

Butch was ******** up. His good friend was the DC, who wasn't worth a tinker's ****.

Butch was smart enough to fire him.

The fans also wanted Coker and Shannon gone. The ones that didn't sound exactly like the ones that defend Golden now.

Remember the outrage directed at JJ when he took Howard's team and went 8-5? Or when Dennis showed up with the 1-Back offense?

Yep, the fans have been wrong plenty of times. They may or may not be wrong now.

So you're comparing Golden to Johnson and Erickson...makes sense.

Yeah, I remember very well. I remember that JJ after that first year put in the 4-3 which was easy to learn, easy to coach, easy to play, allowed the aggressive Miami players to dominated on defense, and was able to take advantage of Miami skills and speed.

I see Al's trying to put in a two-gap 3-4 which the Pros say is a bit slow, doesn't allow for aggressive, attacking defenses, and that it's extremely difficult to implement. Since this will be Al's fourth season with this slow, reacting defense, and it hasn't worked worth a **** yet, I think his head is bigger than his brain.

I'd say the fans that have figured out he's in the dark on defense are some mighty canny folks.

No, he's simply pointing out that fans have been wrong in the past with nearly every good/great coach we've had here. That's all.

Nope. Not at all.

We'll find out. But, that same fanbase has been wrong before and will be wrong again at some point. Maybe not now, but someday they will.

No one is comparing Golden to Johnson and Erickson. The point is it's too early to compare given the situation. Had it been up to fans like we've got, JJ and Erickson never would have been given a chance to become the JJ and Erickson we knew.

JJ went 8-4 the first year, 10-2 his second year, 11-1 the third and 12-0 his fourth.

And JJ played some hard, good teams. So I'm not seeing the similarities, nor the inabilities to compare the situation. It's probably me - I recall the JJ days and games very well, including our defenses.

JJ went 8-5 in his first season and lost his first 3 bowl games at Miami, including one to a very overmatched Ped State team. That isn't at all the point though.
