Willie Hot seat

For me why he should lose his job is the lack of preparation for when we play road games except FIU and Charlotte.
Years ago I made the trip to the Montgomery bowl, we played Memphis and even though they were kind of better we were not good, we were flat. Even though earlier in the year we made progress we came close but did not win, say we win against Purdue and we don't make a bowl Willie might be spared.
The X factor in all of this has been QB play. I think even though the stats show Perry is solid 23 tds and 5 picks his completion rate is in the mid 50's which is horrendous in a pass happy spread offense football landscape. Perry fumbled on the goal line twice in the UCF game and in the last game, in the UCF game it killed our momentum. He threw that pick in the Purdue game even after that bogus call he should have gotten us in to set the tone, but no.
Come Saturday will be the end of a lot of things, but tbh we have underperformed badly, look UTSA is ranked in the coaches poll, why cant that be us. Mr. White better have a list ready and do a thourguh coaching search than being a lazy AD, we lost 3 years of growth and of continuing what Kiffin built. I say Both White and Taggart should be gone.
I don't see massive improvements on any front, attendance is still meh. No promotions, when was the last time you got a bobblehead, its been years. There is no incentive for season ticket holders especially for buying tickets to see a bad product on the field. Kiffin is the reason we are in the American, if FIU was half as good they would have gotten in before us let that sink in. Ohh boy next year i feel like its a 1-11 year.

The Athletic Department has done well overall, maybe not up to expectations in football.
The Board of Trustees calls the shots and they will decide if Willie stays or goes.
I don’t think Brian will make that call on his own, considering the financial implications and heading to a new conference. The Taggart hire was not that of Brian alone. Just, my opinion.

Agree 100%.
This is practically the entire issue…Overall stats are misleading, and can be written to support other narratives in PR fashion, as they are.
But 56% is not misleading and is our demise…Add 7% to the number and we have two more wins.
In his defense, he has played two games hurt - North Texas, and MTSU.
And we were beaten badly in both.
Not making excuses, but that is a data point.
Also, we have no back-up quarterback in all reality.
When Johnson went down with the season ending injury in practice, it was not good for our overall plan, or chances for success with injury at QB 1.

Mistakes can be made recruiting 17 and 18 year old high school players.
Miami moved on from Perry and he saw the writing on the wall and came here.
Maybe not our best option, but we are living with it now.

Willie is not doing that to build future experience OR depth!
You saw the reaction from Mr. Mobley and I have to agree with him 100%. McCammon IS having a good year but what has happened to using Ford, Scott, Mobley????????

I agree. I posted in the fearless prediction thread that FAU will win this week because that’s what I want to happen but in reality, I’m expecting us to lose and to move on from Taggart a few days after. I like Deion Sanders, Dan Mullen or Kendal/Art Briles as replacementsPosted On: Nov 23rd 2022, 6:49 AM #410647
Mullen or KB, IMO. I don’t think Sanders would come here when he’s already crushing it and taking HBCUs as a whole to a new level.

I just do not think the Briles name is worth the PR. Art did not even last 2 days as the Grambling OC. A lot of young play callers around the country you do not have to worry about that type of PR. KB is also very tied in with the state of Texas and if you follow Ark football there has been some frustration with how their season has gone.
I like the idea of CW Jr. and they could swing big for Alex Golesh.
