    Yes.

    It's like the Yankees or something. If you don't win a title in X years, you suck.

    Depends on which 2 or 3 he loses. FSU is a bad, bad start. If he loses a couple and then gets whipped in a second-tier bowl game like last year, chance are pretty good that he's gone. Miami isn't going to keep a coach around because he's a nice guy.

    Because he has what should be 8 absolute gimmes on that schedule for the sort of program UM has been.

    I know you aren't this dense.

    If MIami DOESN'T have 10 wins heading into the bowl game ... i dont think he'll be coaching the bowl game. Because 9 would mean three losses ... what, he's losing at Georgia Tech? at a Bush-less Louisville?
    I guess he could lose at home now to BC or VT.

    Listen - the guy has put up great numbers. Enjoy 11-2 or 10-3 at Colorado or Minnesota or South Carolina or something. But they're not going to deal with that at the U.

    This is The U.

    I fucking missed what Corso said. how bad did he blast Coker?

    Frank Solich went 9-3 and was forced out at Nebraska. The Huskers haven't had that good of a record since.

    I think this talk is a little premature -- unless they lose more than one game on that cake schedule.

    I thought Miami had the better team last night for a while, until Buster took over. Miami lost because of a quarterback that made the wrong decisions at the wrong time.

    Yeah... throwing to Sam Shields and hitting him in the breadbasket.

    Wright was annihilated by fast-arriving pressure last night.

    Frank Solich would probably agree with that sentiment...

    Unfortunately for Coker, he's probably at the only school other than Alabama where winning a national title doesn't get you a free pass for at least a decade...

    This thread is insane. Where's the perspective?

    The rat-faced bastard should have been fired last night.

    If he had done it last year, it would.

    There is no evidence other than he has let the talent level there wane since Davis left.

    And, then, he pulled that shitty move of firing his assistants to shift the fire away from him for one more year.

    Well, as of 11:30 last night, that year is probably toast, too.
