That was my thought for the most part as well. But as I said if he wins 4 more does he get the interview?

Oops, misremembered. It was conduct at LSU that came out after he had been hired at Kansas. He wasn't technically fired.

My thought was that someone of napiers profile (experience P5 assistant + winning G5 cosch) is basically what we're looking now. I really didn't think his time at UF could go wrong... until I saw he hired more assistants than players on the team. They was the first red flag. His unwillingness to give up play calling was the second.

Ehhh Freeze defended Ian McCaw (the guy who actually ordered the cover up at Baylor, so worse than Briles) from mismanaging sexual assault charges at Liberty, by dming and harassing a victim

He's pretty terrible

Also inappropriate behavior towards female staffers at Kansas

That was a thing? I know he had allegations at LSU with students but that was very vague with no sexual misconduct and his punishment was like "you can't use them as babysitters" which was also strange.

I'll allow the mishandling of certain 2 minute game situations if we're constantly ranked top 10 and have a natty.

ACC is fool's gold. Any ACC wins must be taken with a grain of salt. We can't forget that we got well beaten in the best game the team has played (SCAR), embarrassed by Vandy and then boat-raced on our own field by ODU. Wofford was a nice re-set win but they are an entire step below us for a reason. We never should have even been worried about Wofford - that's the type of game that most P4 teams see on the schedule as an automatic absolute drubbing where the backups get into the game in the 3rd quarter and the starters lose their helmets on the sidelines. That wasn't the case for us (that I know of).

Any wins in the ACC, as great as they will feel, will be against equally terrible teams. The conference is actively fulfilling their prophecy of being a complete pretender of a power football league. I, for one, cannot wait for the ACC to completely crumble. It's a shit league with shit leadership and has been for decades.

I don't disagree, I'd give him an interview though because 4 wins is black magic at this point.

And none of that happened on the academic side.

So the question is how did we go from supposedly having a plan to make sure we were ahead of the curve in 2020 athletically to only slashing pay athletically and allowing us to fall to the bottom of the pack. How in the hell does that happen. How do you go from trying to prioritize one thing to it being the only thing you actively de-prioritize. I understand COVID, but that impact should have been felt across the board and it wasn't.

I mean legitimately speaking, if/when the funding goes through we can completely throw out what we think the coaching search would be and start over. Having a BoV approved budget that aligns us with the likes of FSU and Clemson and an academic side of the university aligned with needing football to be successful completely changes the game for us and opens up doors that were welded shut even a week ago.

THIS. My goodness, he's won one game versus Wofford. The offense has looked pretty abysmal through most of the first third of the season. Really rooting for Monty this season and hope he can get some wins out of this group and sets himself up for a good opportunity next year somewhere. But everyone associated with this staff should be gone.

4 wins would be incredible given the context. 4 wins would still be abysmal, though. Fire everyone. Let the new GM and the new HC bring in the people they want - no hold-overs for the sake of it.

no - for him to get a look he'd have to win the ACC and make the playoffs

I want EVERYONE gone. Sometimes when you have an infection in the knee you have to cut the whole leg off. You can't keep the "good parts" to a bad leg.

Don't forget incredibly boneheaded ways to lose games. Brilliant until the last 2 minutes of a lot of games.

edit 2: It was students at LSU before he was hired at Kansas, but was cited in his being placed on leave before he and the team came to "a mutual agreement to part ways".
