The guy that said he thought coaching college would be easy?

quote:He's hired dudes from Memphis, a defensive coordinator on a sharp decline with significantly more access to talent than he'll have here, and a guy that was an assistant position coach. That's a far cry from hiring the Saban tree.
He could hire the 2015 Saban tree and you’d still say this btw
This is just lame and disingenuous. I'm not just hating on the guy to hate. I've given extensive reasoning for every point of view I have.

quote:Forget winning the conference. Half of them had losing records and two of them were 2-10. The other half were one or two games above .500.
The ole "none of those P5 wins actually count because they didn't win their conference" technique.
Meanwhile he's consistently losing to teams like Tulsa, ECU, Houston, UCF, SMU, and UTSA.
In the end it doesn't matter. People who want to look for silver linings will and that's fine. I don't begrudge people for being fans and having hope, but viewing this tenure with a heavy amount of skepticism isn't some wildly irrational take. Right now there's a lot of mental gymnastics required to portray this as a good hire.

Cignetti was 52-9 (31-4) at JMU. Not even in the same universe as Silverfield.

quote:Please cut the shite. He went 27-21 against AAC competition after he took over a team that had just played for three straight conference titles, including two losing conference records. That's absolutely treading water. The last time Memphis had a losing record in conference before Silverfield did it twice in a row was 2013. He's the worst coach they've had since Larry Porter in 2011. There's a reason their fans were telling him to take our job opening before their season even ended this year. They're glad he's gone.
If going 50-25 is "treading water"

quote:Debatable. He had already proven himself to be a program builder with what he did at Murray State by taking over a 2-9 team and eventually winning 11 games in back to back seasons and improved Boise State from being the lowest ranked D1 team at 2-10 to 5-6 in the one year he was there. Easily more impressive than Silverfield treading water and failing to match the accomplishments of the two coaches that came before him.
Nutt lacked the resume

There's also nothing to point to that would indicate he's qualified or equipped to be an average SEC head coach. There would be patience and good grace if there was literally anything about his background that inspired confidence and faith. It's not just that everyone is in a bad mood. There were plenty of hires that would have been received differently this cycle.
As things are, he's just going to have to prove he belongs because there's nothing to give him the benefit of the doubt over.

I wanted Petrino too, but there is no real reason to think Silverfield will be as bad as Pittman.

I don't care about Petrino. I just have zero faith in this hire.
He was never a coordinator, so he's not gonna out scheme anybody. That means he needs to be an elite recruiter and "rah rah" guy with a top tier staff around him. Right now Purdue and Northwestern have better classes than us.
And before people use the excuse of having just hired a coach, LSU's class is ranked 13th. Florida is 16th. Ole Miss is 22nd.

Silverfield couldn't even make the championship game at all. Petrino could have fallen dead in the middle of last season and I still would have wanted nothing to do with Silverfield.
Not certain what he did to rub you the wrong way other than not being named "Robert Patrick Petrino".......
You guys pump sunshine. I'll stay grounded about the guy that went 27-21 in the AAC at one of the biggest programs in the conference. I'm not going to apologize for having a different outlook than blind optimism.

This board is seriously arguing that a team that lost to Illinois by 26, lost to UConn, finished 8-5, and had only one ranked win (over VIRGINIA in overtime) deserves to be in over Alabama/ND/Miami…

Need more discipline for sure. They've definitely shown it's possible to get under their skin so far this year. Probably going to have teams keep jawing at us because of it.
I kinda frick with Acuff tossing the ball to Fresno with 7 seconds left while he was dribbling the game out, though. That's the kind of energy I like.
