Anybody notice the growing trend of coaches getting axed in October?

I'm blown away they lost to THAT Stanford team.

They must have quit on the season at this point.
FSU should be better at basically every position.

For gods sake .. they somehow beat Alabama!

Alabama looks like a team that didn’t wanna be there that day. Also looks like a team that never has to play a power four out of conference game that isn’t held at a neutral field.
 
we’re just a couple years from firing coaches if they lose opening weekend. Hell, I’m old enough to remember the talking heads shrugging off Deboner’s $70 mil buyout
 
Norvelle was Bama's 1st choice according to some talking heads b4 Kalen took it. Since then he's 5-14 iirc but 1 of those wins was vs. Alabama this year.

when we get to that point, we will know that we belong with the big boys
 
Yes, and I guess i failed to see this was a thread before shitposting another one on same subject.
 
This is the NFL jr now. You don’t get a decade to establish relationships and build a practice regimen. The right guy will figure it out immediately. There are probably 6, generously speaking, programs who don’t need the right guy and maybe 10 coaches on earth who are actually good at this. Once you’ve identified you aren’t one of those 6 programs and don’t have one of those 10 guys you move on.

Humans aren't static video game characters without development. Timing does matter as you look at guys like Harbaugh who took a bumpy path to win one, Dabo who won with the best then fell off, Ed Orgeron who held the wheel steady with his eyes closed then got fired.

You're trying to simplify and put in a neat box one of the most complex organic jobs in existence. There's many different paths to being a successful coach and there's no such thing as a finished product for what the game is and what it demands.

One game that pops into my head is the 1979 USC-Stanford game. USC was ranked #1 and tied Stanford 21-21 in the LA Coliseum. Stanford lost to Oregon State who went 1-10. USC finished the season 11-0-1.
These things happen from tim-to-tim.

Then I suppose once you determine you're not one of the 6 (WA isn't even in the top 20), then does it make sense to "move on" and establish an almost permanent state of instability? WA has everything except billionaire financial backing and the proper political mindset (trantifa loving faggots hate football) to be a perennial power.

Yes. There’s no such thing as stability with unlimited free agency and no salary cap. I think I just realized I hate this sport.

Not top 20? Scary what losing a road game to Michigan does to a guy
 
I kind of got a kick out of seeing FSU at Stanford and thought how ridiculous that would have been like 5 years ago.

I’m too lazy to look but does anyone know if that was FSU’s first trip ever to the West Coast? If I had to bet I’d say it was.

Too long.
Too intellectual.
Too apologetic.
Too many big words. This is a sports forum, buddy. Words like "complex" and "organic" have no place.
Btw, every program needs the right guy. Alabama is not automatically good. Nobody is.
