Worst FAU Team Ever?

Worst FAU Team Ever?

I personally would like to see C.A. threaten a job or two.   That won't happen though.

Again, as I said in another thread, what would be the point?  These guys are all (or most) gone at the end of the year anyway.  And do you think FAU wants to be paying two people at the same position if they can just wait until the year is over?  That's not happening.

We could let Joan Joyce be the OC and DC for the remainder of the season!  She is already on the payroll.  She has done just about everything else…and done it well…

Go Owls!!

It would at least show that someone else besides us care about the program.  I am not saying fire anyone, but publicly threaten some jobs.


Almost every company I have worked for in the past made it a point to let you know if your job was on the line, and how should our coaching staff be on a different standard?!?

The pressure has to be on now.

Really?  We've reach a new low if you think public humiliation of the coaching staff is going to fix this team.  First of all, regardless of how you feel about the current state of the program (and I assure you I am just as disappointed as you are right now), nobody deserves to be treated like you are suggesting by an employer. Second, do you really think it would help us in the search for our next coach if the candidates see that the AD is willing to publically call out his assistants?  Nobody would would take the job.  Finally, do you really think Howard would stand for his coaches being called out by Craig Angelos, in public no less?  If you think Angelos would ever consider doing something like that, you are nuts.  Even if you ignore what Howard has done to build this program, you have to remember that Howard is still our best fundraising tool.  Angelos isn't dumb enough to cross Howard in his final season.

Look, everyone knows that this team has been in decline for the past few years.  Angelos knows it, and I'm certain Coach does too.  You'd have to be blind not to see it.  You could blame Angelos for not requesting changes the past few years, but the minute Howard announced that this was his last year, it effectively neutered Angelos' ability to do any of the normal things that an AD might do in this situation.  He can't fire the head coach (he's leaving anyway…not to mention he's a legend and as I said before, a money-maker for the program) and he can't fire the assists because it would be pointless.  He's going to hire a new staff next year, so why pay two people for one position?  He's in a tough spot.  His only realistic play here is to wait it out and make the best hire possible at the end of the season.

This just in:

We lost to the now nationally ranked #'s 15th, and 16th teams in the country in the last two weeks.

UAB didn't even score against UF yesterday, losing 39-0, and giving up two points less than we allowed.

Additionally:

UAB allowed 512 yards to the Gators.

FAU allowed 468 yards.

Do we have some really high standards as Owl Fans, or is it that bad? Should UAB fans call for immediate resignation of their coaching staff as well?

This is a serious question…interested in what everyone else thinks??

On a side note:

UAB is coming to our NEW house later this season on November 26th…so we'll see how this thing pans out head to head soon enough…

UAB coach is out at the end of the year if they don't get to a bowl - widely known by the way.

Sorry, I don't follow UAB! ;D

But the numbers were intriguing given the alignment in scheduling…

Re: Worst FAU Team Ever?

The problem is expectations were set after the 07 season. There should have been no reason that this program has declined every year since then. Declined to the point where we have to rationalize the state of the program by comparing how other teams lose to opponents we have played. There was nothing taken from the MSU or UF games to give anybody hope that we will even be competitive in Belt play. You look around the NCAA and you see other non BCS division teams at least show some kind of fight against teams on par with, or even better than the ones we have played. We not only don't belong on the same field, it appears we don't even belong on the same planet.

Re: Worst FAU Team Ever?

I hate to call anybody out because you win and lose as a team…

GRAHAM WILBERT can no longer be the starter.  They have to pick one of the two RS Freshman and let them get experience.  I have NEVER seen a DI QB look as bas as that kid has looked.

Teambeer is the most knowledgeable FAU sports fan I know, way smarter than me.
