I dont that thats the same situation. Florida state didnt fire Taggart after a 12-2 season or a national championship. He was12-14 and never had a winning record in a season. And Mike Norvell is an interesting choice 
. Maybe LSU can turn the corner and have all their player riot and rebel against their coach

Iâm just tired of people constantly saying wild s#it on this board. To suggest Dana should be fired when he has lost 1 game is last calendar year is absurd.

Hardly any decision is clear cut in a close game. And there are a hundred variables going through everyoneâs mind. I suppose most people on this board have been doing their job for a while and still make a dozen mistakes a day
Why do you think that? Its the first game of the season with a new group of guys, lacking multiple NFL players. People are nervous, its a rocking enemy crowd. I hope you donât expect everyone to play at mid-season form. As far as Tech goes, our defense came out gang-busters in that game.
Perhaps we need to FIRE the originator of this thread for being a ****** *****!

As shown by the number of tickets available, many people have already fired the uh football team because a good chunk of the ex fan base feel the same as the op.
Why in the world was this thread started? SMH

How can you fire anyone when you were never part of the organization? Houston people, (I wonât call them fans), demand perfection, low prices, and un-godly excitement every week of the year. They arenât invested enough to fire anyone.

Lol, so there are many years we could have used our pathetic alums to fire coach Yeoman because of attendance?
If we used our attendance as criteria we wouldnât have any coaches or programs to gripe about

Interesting write up about Ogeronâs fall from grace.
âO is an amazing recruiter and motivator, but he failed at a head coachâs most important job: recruiting the finest coordinators and assistant coaches possible,â says one person who helped hire Orgeron as LSUâs full time coach. âWe utterly failed at that.â
In construction, a good general contractor is only as good as their subs, and I think a head coach is the same way with assistants. In terms of technique and discipline, they have more directly to do with what happens on the field than the head coach does. Yes the head coach is ultimately responsible, but Iâm going to start looking at replacing an assistant first. Especially with CDH who, unlike ogeron, isnât using his position of authority to coerce young women, isnât getting embroiled in political controversy, and has a good record now that his system is in place.

You say this in jest but the reality is that UH has been on the verge of losing the football team. Heck, UH was on the verge of being taken over by another state university system. All from lack of attendance, both physically, and indirectly through total apathy.
So, lack of attendance is a barometer.

Advertisers would disagree. If you alienate your stakeholders and they fire you then you have nothing.
The bleeding of the budget can only go so long before yanking the plug is the best option. Alienating the few fans we have to the point that they choose to hop off the bandwagon, firing, is an awful business choice.
Fans donât demand perfection, but donât tolerate hubris without results.
So weâve gone from swinging on his jock to firing him in 2 gamesâŠis this TexAgs

BUT WEVE HAD RESULTS!!! THATS WHY THIS THREAD IS SO BRAIN DEAD. 1 loss in a calendar year with a chance for a conference championship and a NY6 bowl. And may I remind you we only have 3 conference championships in the last 4 decades
Yep. Delete. The fire Dana crowd wonât show up to games anyway.

LSUâs not really a great example. Coach O needed to go. Post-Burrow, they immediately turned into an SEC bottom dweller, and O didnât exactly make the situation better for himself by going around and talking about how great he was and hitting on boostersâ wives. They made a nonsense hire when they brought Brian Kelly aboard, but at the end of the day, you canât lead a scandal-ridden program that sits at the bottom of the pack in the SEC and keep your job for long.
If youâre looking for a âbe careful what you wish for,â Auburn is probably a better example. They fired Gus Malzahn, who was mostly fine enough (if unexciting) because they thought he needed to be fired, then realized their candidates werenât great and just kind of threw the job at Bryan Harsin, who was and is an obviously worse coach.
The real go-to example of this is Bo Pelini at Nebraska. 8-4 wasnât good enough for them and now theyâre lucky to go 4-8.
That said, I think a lot of us are uncomfortable with the idea that Holgo may very well be the worst P5 coach in Texas next year. Sark seems to be getting it together at Texas, McGuireâs got TTU recruiting like they wear Burnt Orange and just beat Dana head-to-head with a backup QB, Aranda is the reigning XII champ, Fisher has a natty and just pulled in the top recruiting class in the country, and Dykes successfully rebuilt an awful SMU team. Holgo got to 12-2 by beating up on incompetents and having a couple of strokes of incredible luck. I think that given his track record, thereâs very good reason to believe that the XII is going to absolutely wipe the floor with us next year.

Saying Dykes âsuccessfully rebuilt smuâ seams like a stretch
He took over a bottom feeder post-Morris and got them ranked. Theyâre as good as theyâve really ever been post-Death Penalty. Thatâs a successful rebuild in my eyes.
Of course, weâll see how he does at TCU.

Interesting⊠so taking over a bottom feeder that had oh i dont know say the worse bowl loss in CFB history⊠to Army. And getting them ranked and an invite to a P5 conference would be considered a successful rebuild then right?
