Thermos H Christ posted:I can't say how he was at booster gladhanding, but Strong was pretty great at the media stuff. He seemed nervous at the very beginning, like his introductory press conference, but very quickly developed a relaxed/confident/affable demeanor in front of the cameras. Better than Herman, that's for sure. Strong came across as really genuine most of the time, and he had a countrified charm to him. Herman comes across like an arrogant spergy douche, most likely because he is an arrogant spergy douche. I think Herman will probably end up being more successful than Strong, maybe very successful, but he is not what you would call an "affable" guy. And if he wins, nobody will care. BI NOW GAY LATER posted:This is mostly all laughably untrue. Charlie Strong must have been doing something right with the media when you compare the level of sympathy expressed after he was fired compared to what Mac and Butch are receiving after marginally more successful tenures.

MourningView posted:lol yeah man gently caress that bitch for not wanting to get harassed by rear end in a top hat strangers You know that's not what I said. But congrats to you, Disney prince defender of women. Getting pestered about the performance of the team is part and parcel with being a high profile coach (and, apparently, their spouse). If anyone is out of line, instead of simply annoying/rude (which is what this sounded like), there are ways to address it. Rude fans are not something I condone, but it's bound to happen. Based on my personal experience with grocery shopping in Gainesville, you do get harassed - by drug addicts claiming they need gas money.

This is an extremely good point. MacElwain produced much better results, got asked whether he actually hosed a shark, and is now being gleefully run out on a rail by a fan base that seems unwilling to accept anything lower than Chip Kelly himself. Meanwhile, a lot of people were really sad to see Charlie Strong go, including myself. I am definitely rooting for Strong and hope he does get another shot at P5 coaching. I just think that the hate surrounding the SEC has got to be overwhelming from a first person perspective.

There were a ton of people defending Brady Hoke when he was fired. Michigan isn't really a 'turn on people fast' kind of fanbase It's more either turn on them the day they're hired (Rich Rod) or give them a million years of leeway because they're doing it the right way (everyone else)

A) Saying Mac 'produced much better results' is debatable - he won the east on the merits of a defense he didn't build, and only then because the rest of the division was an actual pile of smoldering rubble. He also got badly boatraced by any good team (save the Ole Miss upset with Grier). B) Our fan base wants the appearance of competence, and there are plenty that will suffice. Some fans at every school are unreasonable--wanting Mac fired for abject mediocrity and no semblance of improvement is far from unreasonable.

Strong missed a bowl game twice in three years, never finished a season with a winning record, and lost to loving Kansas, it's not even remotely debatable that he did way worse at Texas than McElwain did at florida

UF won close and got destroyed by any contending team. Destroyed.   And these scores aren't even as close as they appear.

Where in that post did I say McElwain did well? I think he deserved to get fired. He was just also a lot better than Strong. Strong is probably the worst coach in Texas history. Texas couldn't finish .500 or beat Kansas, they weren't going to win even a bad East.

Total Defense: UF 8th, Texas 107th (!!) Wow. In 2016: Scoring Offene: UF 107th, Texas 46th Total Offense: UF 116th, Texas 16th (!!) Total Defense: UF 5th, Texas 94th More defensive disparity than I remember, but I'm seeing a whole lot of shittiness on both sides - and UF's defense was rock solid and deep from Muschamp era and well-coached by Collins. That luck is running out.

The point of all of this wasn't that Florida didn't suck, or that McElwain didn't deserve to get fired, it's just funny that when Charlie was fired the general response was "aww, Texas didn't even give the poor guy a chance  " and when Mac was fired everybody was basically "lol, later sharkfucker!"

Speaking of Kansas, they're gonna get rid of David Beaty soon, right? It's not like that program will ever have expectations, but his current run (3-29) is somehow even worse than Charlie Weis (6-22). Do they just bring back Mangino and pretend that whole abuse thing never happened?

I suppose Kansas could try to recreate the magic but Mangino has been out of coaching for two years at this point. But hell if I have a better idea of what they should do. Go after the hottest FCS coach they can find? They'd have to be low man on the totem pole for poaching G5 guys. They just tried the assistant route and while I don't know if Beaty had a real chance of success he's been there long enough to have something to show (other than that Texas win).

Mangino has to be in the shittiest of health by now. Kansas needs to overpay for a proven guy like Les Miles. Sure he won't do LSU well recruiting, but even a pile of 3 stars with a plan is better than what they've got now.

Heh, I somehow forgot about this:quote:Following the 2016 season, on December 12, Beaty agreed to a contract extension through 2021, with an annual salary of $1.6 million. So that Texas win got him an extension. He had won two games in two years, against Texas and Rhode Island.
