Fickell still having a job is insane


We don’t have the money for his buyout. Will see if that changes when we end the season 2-10.

Just scoring points would be a sign of hope at this point.

Fickell has been an unmitigated disaster in every aspect.


This legit surprised me.

Fickell was the next sure fire coaching hire. He turned Cincy into a power and took them to the CFP. His teams were physical and played hard and above their talent level.

I thought he’d be great at Wisconsin. He’s gotten worse every year in Madison, and they’re legitimately one of the worst teams in the country this season. It’s beyond comprehension.

He’s basically Tom Herman 2.0, but Herman actually wasn’t bad at Texas.

Franklin would eat at fsu, perfect fit for them. They shouldn't wait before some other program scoops him up


I agree Franklin would do well at FSU. I just have a feeling he will end up at Va Tech or Arkansas. I wonder if Florida will talk to him? I think if Mich State was open, he would go there.

Fickell at least has the excuse of facing the hardest schedule in CFB history

@Bama
Maryland
@Michigan
Iowa
Ohio State
@Oregon
Washington
@Indiana
Illinois
@Minnesota

Is just laughably brutal

Yeah this seems like a divorce that would benefit both parties.


If they get destroyed by Oregon (almost a near certainty), maybe Fickell will want to avoid having to show up for another home game and the treatment he’ll get so much so that he’ll ask to negotiate that buyout down. One can dream.

20 pts in conference and play in total, 28 punts. lol

I don't want that to happen. He would make Arkansas a pain in the arse every year.
