Apparently Morris wasn't on a 6 years plan. That's how a school that cares about football should act.

I’d hope not when you have top 50 recruiting classes for the past 10 yrs and only 2 outside the top 29. Should be able to beat the nobodies of the world lol

>>That name is Willie Fritz.

Before we get to what Fritz is, let’s first acknowledge what he’s not. The 59-year-old Tulane head coach isn’t going to wow anybody. He may not win the press conference like a Lane Kiffin would, he wouldn’t impress Twitter like a Mike Leach or a Hugh Freeze would, and he might not beat Nick Saban or Ed Orgeron for many recruits on Day 1. (But then again, who does?)

But what he is is a ball coach. He’s a ball coach’s ball coach. And more than that, he’s a winner. He’s done it at literally every level of college football, except the Power 5.<<

>>Fritz has spent now 27 consecutive seasons as a head coach at five different colleges with five different cultures, five different challenges from a resources and support perspective, five different recruiting profiles, and he’s won at all of them. You simply don’t win 68.6 percent of your games across 27 seasons at five different schools without knowing how to build a winning football program. That success does not happen by accident.<<

Seems like Mike Norvell and Sonny Dykes should skip the Arkansas opportunity and wait the next ship...of course if the money is real big (like FSU big) then scratch that thought.

Sounds like a younger Frank Solich. I've always liked Solich.

Can you like Solich and not like HCRE? Is there a fundamental difference - steady eddie, no real flair, emphasis on fundamentals and character.

You mean other than the winning?

I mean if you count this year Solich has had 3 losing seasons at Ohio in 15 years. One was his 1st year there. Edsall has had 3 losing seasons the last 3 years. Other than that they're exactly alike.

Perhaps that speaks to the talent. Perhaps that speaks to the competition.

You could also argue Solich could not cut it at the BCS level (as a lot of Nebraskans did).

My point was they have the same approach to coaching, IMO.

Then again, I don't see a lot off similarity between Tulane's coach and Solich.

All in the eye of the beholder

I'm sure Nebraska wishes they were 9-3, like in Solich's last year there. I compare him to Fritz in that both incorporate the option into their base offense but also will open it up in the passing game.

Ohio University football was awful before Solich. The competition Edsall has faced upon his return isn't exactly the SEC East.

This is simply not true. The guy was 58-19 at TBR come on man do better. The internet is your friend.

I'm sorry, what's TBR?

The Big Red. Had a friend that played for Osborne in the heyday and have many freinds who went to Nebraska and its a common to refer to the team that way. Sorry

Very hard schedule? Look I get they are in the SEC but the are in the East which is the weaker of the 2 divisions and they had Bama for the first of a 2 year rotation deal but when your OOC is UNC, Charleston Southern and App State very hard schedule is a reach.

Great non-sequitur.

bc Puckett: Will Muschamps will be fired sometime after the Clemson game.
Husky medic: here’s a quote from the AD saying he’s not going to be fired.
bc Puckett: that schedule isn’t that tough.

Yes. Very hard schedule. Alabama, Georgia, Clemson, Florida, Texas a&m, Appalachian St, and north Carolina have all been ranked at times this year. And 4 of those are in the top 11.

When did I say he was going to get fired after the Clemson game? My response was to the AD saying Muschamp was their coach today and going forward. I was just pointing out that attitude may change after Clemson boat races them.

They play Georgia, Florida, aTm and Clemson every year. That's their schedule and it's not changing anytime soon so as a coach you need to find a way to win some of those games (and yes they did beat Georgia this year). The Bama thing is a 2 year cross-over deal. As far as UNC and App State being ranked how many teams are ranked at some point in the year? You're an SEC team and can't beat APP State at home? Please. You can't have that OOC schedule and beat Georgia(on the road) and not make a bowl.

Muschamp was a horrible coach at Florida and hasn't improved.

I don't disagree that he is a bad coach....but they still had a tough schedule. App St is a very good team. As is Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Clemson...

They aren't mutually exclusive. He can be a bad coach AND they can have a tough schedule.
 

>>Rutgers and Schiano have come to an agreement on the facilities plan for the program going forward, according to sources, that includes a new fieldhouse to replace the practice bubble. The plan is not expected to include a guarantee for a new football-only facility to replace the Hale Center. That wrinkle has led to renewed negotiations on the length of Schiano’s contract and the size of the assistant coach and support staff salary pool.<<
 
Schiano wasn't even that success his first around in the Big East. I don't think it's going to work out like they hope
