At FSU the knives are out for Jimbo Fisher(24-9 )yet fans of UConn are told to sit down and shut up

[mattp]

Again I am guessing but I believe that there is some personal issue that the staff is holding against RG. I cannot logically see any other reason why he has had such a minimal role in our offense.

minimal role? i think he had 3 catches last week, that's half our passing game. his role isn't minimal, our offense itself is minimal.

circling back to the column referenced in the OP
At every turn, the boosters and ticket-holders and fans have been asked to give more – and they have done so with the promise that their investment would lead to a brighter future.
While no one expected that investment to produce a national championship this quickly, the people who wrote those checks deserve more than what they saw Saturday night.
So now the question is pretty simple: What next?
Should staffing changes be made? Is it time to re-evaluate Jimbo Fisher’s job status? Do coaching duties need to be shuffled among his assistants?
Or is it wiser to stay the course and continue to believe that the millions of dollars FSU is spending in coaching salaries and resources will eventually lead to championship results?

Let's not forget that there's $150-million-plus worth of infrastructure invested into the UConn football program in addition to the yearly budget ($17 million) . No idea what Florida State ticket prices are but I'm paying $1,200 a year for four (w/donation) and can't imagine average FSU ticketholder is paying that much more. The "people who write the checks deserve more than what they saw Saturday" holds a lot of water with me. When the people writing checks know enough to call a timeout at the end of the first half and the coaches don't, that is yet another huge red flag, which are piling up all around us.

What do you consider "stupid" expectations? Mine are 8 wins, bowl trip, and be in mix for BE title.

Dan, I was referring to a fanbase that wants to fire its coach because they are 5-1. If you take a breath and read some of the posts you respond to maybe...........

Where is BL to slap you down for speculaterizinng and inuendoizing. So he isn't playing enough and it can't be that the staff is too stupid to realize this, or that maybe he isn't as good as you think, its more likely the staff has personal issues with him.

I don't know if it's personal - but it certainly seems to me that the staff has some kind of issue with Griffin.

I just am not convinced that replacing coordinators mid-season is worth the cost. These kids are gonna learn a new system between now and Temple?

I would settle for they learn the system they have been in for 18 games by Temple. This is not 110th offense in the country in yards and scoring type talent. Not like Uconn has a top 10 opponent difficulty schedule. You do know that Tulane lost to Rutgers 24-12 and Tulane averages 9 points per game, so they scored 33% more than their game average againt Rutgers and 4 times as many points as Uconn.
Our defense is top 20 and our offense is Tulane.

Who among us saw one (let alone three) national championships in basketball back in the 70s?

I did

If only Rowe/Perno had convinced everyone to stay home. In the backcourt;Matthews, Foster, Bagley, Luckett, Oleynick, Mccloud, etc. Up front; Garris, Gminski, Pinone, Jensen etc. Add in what we had. Oh to dream what could have been.
