That's what I have been saying. Those two were the 2 coordinators when FSU brought in the 2010 and 2011 classes- AKA the heart of last year's National Championship team.

Seriousl, are any of you guys really surprised to hear these rumors? Coley has been and always will be an opportunist. I'd be shocked if he didn't get out of here on his own as opposed to going down with the ship. I'd actually love for him to take a HC job at a smaller school and start honing his craft to one day come back and run UM.

What the **** have we done to deserve all of this. We get golden as head coach, we cant beat ******* pitt or uva, we request that everyone on the staff be fired except Coley, then ill be damned. coley is probably the only that is leaving.

This is about to get really bad. Golden is going to come back next year and we're going to have an awful recruiting class this yr and next so the following coach will have to start over. ...again

Its a double edged sword. Climbers always act like this, yet its climbers who become the great CEO's and football coaches, etc...

The offensive side of the ball is fine... Now the Defense... That's a different situation... the only person on the defense I feel we should keep is Hurley, everyone else needs to depart. Al needs to also hire a special teams coach...

Coley will flourish under a HC that is not so controlling and doesnt handcuff him. Coley could have did awesome things but Golden held him down with his safe and conservative ways. the ship is sinking fast.

We are now going into a new 3 to 5 year rebuild next year under a new staff.

Not if we get a new staff here by December 15th. Not if Mark Stoops is watching our practices from his office in the Hecht. I venture to guess that we'd win 10 games with that staff…next year.

How can this be surprising? Top recruiters always are in demand with plenty of options. Coordinators move around. Coley is the logical age to aspire to a head coaching job in a few years. He apparently doesn't think he would get the nod here so he's looking for another resume nugget. Succeeding at a lesser SEC school would do it.
It's not true the offense was markedly worse than the defense in every category. Some aspects were actually very good, like yards per pass attempt (16th) and yards per play (9th). But when you are 104th in the nation in rushing attempts per game it coincides with lots of early down failed passes and therefore difficult third down situations, ones we did not convert with a true freshman quarterback.
As one of the articles noted, Coley hates dink and dunk. That's one thing I appreciate about him. Nothing regulates an offense like pretending that short passes are an acceptable substitute for running plays. It's all time ignorance. Granted, short passes are more of a weakness in pros than in college. Alex Smith has limited upside in the pros since he simply can't threaten a defense downfield. In college you can get away with it against weak foes but not as you move up the ladder. Smart offenses run frequently and take dagger shots downfield. That's why option teams were successful for so long, and would still be successful if elite programs ran that offense. I hope Nebraska wises up and returns to its roots.

Let's hope that's still a possibility. A new coach this year who is the right guy and we'll win the coastal next year. Keep Golden, and we'll be in a much worse position than w were in 2010. Much, much worse.

Not sure about that. Coley loves him some bubble screens. The one thing I like was late this year he stopped calling so many.

So are you a big Mark Stoops fan even after his struggles this year at Kentucky? Personally he would be at the top of my list if we let fat *** go.

And he was the only coach that displayed any passion out there.
