    We typically don't do that but it will be tempting. I'm with STD, let em play it out then part ways.

    Unlike some, it doesn’t bother me. I want to win and have some optimism about the future.
    Adding, Beamer isn’t going anywhere , unless Beamer wants to go.
    People on sports radio putting most of blame on OL coach and on the OC Mike Shula.
    Beamer safe.

    It is what it is. Do I think SC going to win a national championship? No to the no. Be nice to make playoffs.
    Speaking of recruiting at SC, a few years ago, we got Clowney who was in state, plus a few other good players came with Clowney. Very rare. We can’t even out recruit Clemson.
    Plus good in state recruits go to Ga or elsewhere. Very difficult to recruit if your not an Ohio St, Alabama Ga, you know this your hogs in same boat

    I guess he knows , but he doesn’t. SC generally doesn’t do that. Plus talk on local sports radio blaming OL coach and OC

    As long as you guys have Beamer, you don't have to worry about sniffing any titles or CFP games.

    It kinda don’t matter who coaches here
    As history of program is around .500 all time
    So it doesn’t matter who coaches
    Unless we luck up or pay up to get the best players

    I'm sure if he wants it it's his because of his old man.

    That’s all fine and good
    Let’s not go to the same well
    Yes Franklin done great at Vandy also
    But didn’t pan out at Penn State
    Maybe just maybe, the SEC isn’t all that?!
    Makes you:hmm:

    Pump the brakes bro. Year 5 for Clark Lea with an overall record of 23-34. I'll believe Vandy is a legit contender when we see more than just a flash in the pan.

    So some other team can get a head start on hiring their next coach?

    I'm a Pitt man, like to see PSU do well also. I am sure these big time programs
    like PSU were hearing alot of flack from alumni and boosters. No use in prolonging
    the inevitable.

    I'm sure they were, but this shows they have no plans beyond trying to make the fans happy by firing the HC in the middle of the season. The real problem is recruiting. Like many colleges. When a teams wins a National Championship that hasn't had some top 10 recruiting on that team, it will be the 1st time it has happened .
