you fire him after 2 weeks?


SU basically did that last year. Why not? There could be a sign out there that Doug is losing the team. Doug has not been the Doug of old in terms of success on the field.

What's attendance been like for Grambling lately?

Part of the reason Southern canned their coach was that the team's poor performance was leading to a shite-ton of empty seats.

HBCUs don't have the drawing power they used to even 20 years ago. The last major NFL star to come out of a HBCU that I can remember is Steve McNair and he was there because he couldn't get anyone to let him play QB at the DI-A level, IIRC.

If it appears that the crowds are leaving, the schools may do desperate things in order to convince them that their fortunes will change.
