"I'm not resigning. I'll be back Monday." North Carolina's Mack Brown isn't planning to resign after telling team he'd step down if he was the problem
We are really close though. A few plays away. Still evaluating our best 11 on the field. Gotta get better and I believe we will. Still playing hard...
I still believe Shane has a higher ceiling. Napier was fired at Clemson by Dabo for a reason. Beamer is highly regarded among the coaches he’s worked for. He’s learning how to be a head coach and I think the more experience he gets, he will get better. It also helps that his father is a HOF coach.
I don't think Kirby cares about running up the score, just winning. He might just hand the ball off on every play and grind out 500 yds of rushing and 35 - 40 points. If Lane is really interested in the UF job and isn't just trolling, he might call off the dogs early if they have a big lead...its not good to embarrass your future employer. Tennessee...is another matter altogether. After years of being embarrassed by Florida, they might try to hang an ugly score on us. I know every UT fan would want to do it. Half a hundred or more is a distinct possibility.
I know you're kidding, but, SOS did leave on his own terms from every job he ever held. He was never canned, and often told teams they would never have to fire him; he would leave if things didn't work. He did that at SC, too, so there was no one to be mad at there. He made the decision at halftime of the UCF game. He was losing the game at that point to a winless UCF team. Between that and the realization that he couldn't recruit well anymore because no one believed he would not retire soon, he decided right then and there that it was time and he left midseason. Not fired at Duke, UF, Washington, or SC. Winningest coach at multiple schools. Brought SC their only 11-win seasons multiple times. First conference championship for Duke and Florida. Very unique guy in regard to hiring and firing in the coaching world.
I think you are right, but, he sure was about to blow a head-gasket in the 13-12 Kentucky game. I rather enjoyed that, except the final outcome.
Listened to his radio show last night riding around town and Mack really owned it. Refreshing to hear a coach just fall on his sword and speak truth "My fault" "I said a stupid thing that should never be said to kids" " My wife told he how stupid it was to say" "I love this place and have no desire to step away" " I said what * said because I thought I let the kids down" "I will mature from this, even at 73, I still need to grow" He made zero excuses for the embarrassment and took all the blame on his self, in a public setting (sports bar where the air the show) on live air. Total class act. I find myself listening to his show weekly and he actually makes me somewhat root for Carolina at times which takes a LOT.
I have a couple of Gamecock alumni who are friends. They hate Spurrier for the way he left USC east. Strange how you can hate the best football coach ever there.
Spurrier, always being the forthright person that he is, made a mistake in letting it be known that he would be stepping down in a few years. Recruiting went down the drain as a result, and so did the performance of his teams. But yeah, the USCe people need to get a grip.
By beating a great Bama team, and giving them more than one 11 win seasons (first coach to do that in USCe history) he put them on the map... screw those ungrateful people.
