re: Why in the frick would we hire Fedora?

He also left Southern Miss in shambles. Two different coaches won a total of ONE game in two years. Don't tell me Todd Monken was a bad coach. Secondly, how many ranked teams did he beat winning that division? Mind you he lost to the worst south Carolina team in ten years. Fast forward to this year. he's played one ranked team in fsu and won on a 56 yard fg. he lost to the worst Georgia team in 10 years. Not to mention that juggernaut know as Duke. Average coach at best.

While he didn't leave USM on the best of terms it was Ellis Johnson that doomed the program from the start. His complete apathy towards strength and conditioning programs as well as the fact that he didn't recruit at al while on campus was the major factor. Combine those 2 things with him losing the team during fall camp is why USM sucked dick for 2 years. My only complaint with Fedora was he over relied on juco talent so instead of building a foundation he had teams that were good immediately but not built to sustain the success.

He also beat Miami when they were playing well at the same pitt team that beat Clemson. Yeah he has had a few stinkers through this career but I would argue overall he has succeeded expectations everywhere he has been.
