But you see...that's not THE point. The point is he WASN'T fired when he SHOULD have been fired which was LAST year.
And the other point is....he shouldn't have any "outs" at this point. Winning a ****ty *** mediocre coastal division in his FIFTH ****ing year shouldn't be a lifeline.
That's the point. The fact there is still more than a .1% chance that he can keep his job is an insult to every human being left on this planet that still cares about this program.
We shouldn't be forced to root against our team any longer. Just make the decision, announce it, and we all can move on. I'd like to root for my team to beat Clemson but I know full well that a win there would give him a chance to keep his job...so I can't.
Every ounce of toxicity that surrounds the program right now was self inflicted by the most incompetent set of decision makers in the country.
And I just explained why YOUR point doesn't/didn't jive with the reality of the situation.
Again, between the buyout, Shalala's exiting and Frenk's coming in, there was ZERO chance of Golden being fired last year. Writing was on the wall. EVERYTHING pointed him being judged based on this year's performance, and let go if he didn't/doesn't make a run at an ACC title. All the banners in the world weren't going to change that.
That there is a .1% chance of him retaining his job is what it is; it'd be hard for anyone to fire a coach who wins his conference. But the likelihood of that happening is so remote that it isn't even worth spending time fretting over. And the likelihood of him wanting to remain here, even if he lucks out and wins the coastal and the whole conference, is even less. He'll move on one way or the other, and we'll move forward.
Well I don't accept that explanation. That "reality" is simply the result of **** poor management and administration. None of those reasons are valid excuses for retaining a poor head coach in his FOURTH full year. I'm sorry...you can spew whatever ****ing garbage you want to passively defend the decision making...but it's not valid. The REALITY is they are clueless.
You're second paragraph is full of utter bull**** so I simply refuse to comment any further or waste my team on such a retarded line of reasoning.
As for your very last sentence...I'll believe it when I see it. Again, we're dealing with THE most incompetent set of decision makers in the country. He's as liable of getting fired as he is of getting an extension depending on what happens these last few games.
Let's go Tigers.
I'm not "passively defending" jack ****. I'm looking at it from a logical, logistical perspective.
No outgoing prez wants to hire a new football coach and leave the incoming prez holding the bag.
No incoming prez wants to hire a new football coach until he has a chance to evaluate for himself.
No BOT member wants to spend what was reportedly a ****-ton more money to get rid of Golden last year than this year.
That you refuse to accept it doesn't make it any less obvious.
Logic? Logic you say? For the love of God don't reference "logic". There's hasn't been any semblance of "logic" surrounding or attached to any one decision this program has made over the last 10 years.
All of those "reasons", "excuses", or whatever the **** you want to call them are not valid reasons for a PROGRAM not running their operations correctly. If the president can't or won't act...that's what the BOT is suppose to be there for. Don't even try to feed me some bull**** about not wanting to hire a coach without the new president's input when it's clear that
A) This new president doesn't give a **** about who the coach or AD are. He simply defers to them.
B) The qualifications for the new president search were never going to factor in anything having to do with football anyways.
Sorry guy...but I don't buy a single syllable of what you're selling. Those are bull**** excuses and simply serve as a reminder of how ****ing inept the current administration is.
