I guess if 7 wins is your definition of success. Alpo is a Loser.

I'm old enough to remember when 6-5 wasn't acceptable in the late 80s. Now 4-8 is okay because he didn't have enough time. Imagine Don James losing to Bowling Green or Pacific.

Who are the dominant programs? All have one thing in common...the football department runs the athletic department. SC was teetering for a long while, but this hire shows football is back in charge on campus. All of the scandals / shit that has happened in college sports recently, Michigan, tOSU, LSU, ND, Quacks, Iowa, even Pedo State, they never lost leverage. You can bet shit happens at Bama, and it never sees the light of day, and never will unless Saban becomes senile and they want him out.
When the shit went down here, Gerberding (ftg) cracked the whip, and it was over. Babs cooked up the new plan, and "we" became a row boat / softball school. If you are a great coach with a strong AD in tow, a buy in from upper campus, keep the "money" happy, you can get away with a lot of shit that helps you win. For me, "great" coaches smell this out, and they want no part of it, because it is so hard to sustain big success playing it straight up. LSU, Florida, Oklahoma, USC, UW...which one doesn't fit? Not 30 years ago, but now. We wanted a Natty winning, tanned, rested and ready coach to come to our rescue. We got the guy from Fresno. They say "It just matters more" for a reason...

@RaceBannon and I would have fired Don James in 1988

Coordinator takes over 0-12 team who immediately goes 5-7 and gets to 8-4 while leveling up recruiting. Hands off program to next coach who reaches CFP largely with previous coach’s recruits
In the history of fuckups, that one was pretty good. Unless you labor under the illusion that coaches were beating a path to take over after Willingham left a smoking ruin where a good program used to be.
FFS!

He wasn't a huge disaster, but he wasn't that good either. The 2009 team had about five win talent, and they went 5-7. Sark could recruit pretty well. I'll give him that. But those teams were soft, didn't play much defense, and got wrecked by the Arizona schools and LSU, Oregon, and anyone with some talent and coaching.

I rarely have inside shit and so unlike Kim I don't try and pretend to. That said, from a particular vantage point I had on campus when I was a student, there was all kinds of shit that went on that got "handled". A lot. You are correct - once the shit hit the fan, the tolerance for it changed dramatically.

I wish I was sophisticated enough to get into the Twatter gaymes. I'd surely fuck it up and embarrass my kids, so creep likes to keep his social media to a minimum. Meaning, this forum and nothing else.

Chip Kelley used to openly and obviously take his foot off the gas and limit victory margins to this side of embarrassing because Sark was a good boy. When your main rival is doing that to you, then you are laboring under a different illusion if you think that his hire wasn't a fuck up. All that, and he was clearly trending down before he was amazingly hired away by USC fs. What he is doing at Texas is who he is.
