Or fire head coach- damn auto correct

 

[Scrutineer]

Ups the ante on opponents being motivated to beat us........watch out for GA. State!

Technically he has been freed.

It's good to be back to the days where we are getting the opponents' coaches fired...

What’s funny is a 7 point loss got him fired. If we had played even a 6/10 game we would’ve won by 30+

As bad as our offense was - when they were looking at a 3rd and long (like they were all day) - there was almost NO chance they were going to convert. That QB made Evers look like Rodgers (back when he was good).

That is the surest sign this season of it looking like the good old days.

Yeah. Ginger Rogers.

Charlie Weis says hello.

Sadly there was a time when a coach got canned after beating us (don't remember who but it was when we were floundering in the wilderness).

 

[UCan3]

For what it’s worth, I did not enjoy hearing this news.

There were on a true frosh QB due to injuries and played well.

Sure our game wasn’t the only reason he got fired but I don’t enjoy reading about a coach getting fired in mid-season after playing us close.

Wish him well.

This thread is bizarre. A coach getting fired because of losing to UConn is not the rep UConn wants. I'm sure his firing was a long time coming anyway.

 

[RioDog]

Yeah. Ginger Rogers.

I wish my grandparents were still around to enjoy that reference.

Ummm… The Frosh QB wasn’t great, yes.

But Evers missing those throws did make him look like Aaron Rodgers… we agree on that…

Rogers in Fall 2024….

Evers looked terrible on accuracy, and couldn’t run well, much like Rodgers…

Ouch.

Probably better to have that rep then a rep of being the team that delayed the coach's firing due to his getting a win over us.

 

[SubbaBub]

The good ole days when UConn got coaches fired.

But you’re new here.

Back in the day we used to get coaches fired all the time. This is a return to form.

 

[RioDog]

Ouch.

Of course the implication is that I'm no spring chicken- else how would I know anything about Ginger Rodgers? Heck it makes me feel old referencing Ginger Baker...

I always preferred MaryAnn!

Maybe we can get Fran Brown fired too while we're at it?

And we'd laugh! Oh, how we'd laugh! Anyway I see Rice beat Navy. Maybe it's a good thing we got them while they still had their crappy coach.
