This. The history is too littered with examples of amazing coordinators who couldn't cut it as head coach. In fact, it's easier to talk about the ones who made the transition than it is to inventory those who failed and flailed.
EDIT: in response to yellas “trust the process” comment.
I’m pissed and it’s unacceptable.
But you’re right.
A lot of you had written this season off before it started and though I’d love to be wrong, that’s where I’m at now.
It’s just crazy, and disappointing, that one season removed from almost perfection, we’re here. It’s sad and speaks to the shit show that is college football. Oh fucking well.
Day at Ohio State is not a good example of a coordinator doing well. At The Ohio State, a blind man could be a good coach with their recruiting. Lanning not sure - he fell into a program that recruits - again could a blind man do well there? The Chipster is a good example at Oregon but not in the pros and UCLA. What happened to him?
UW is an example of failed coordinators being promoted. But then bringing in head coaches hasn't worked really well. James being the exception. Owens was OK for a bit but fell flat. The guy at Clemson did well, Georgia proved it can work.

this feels like a vague throw out so you could later yell first and right!

‘25 going to be speshul.
I dunno I'm not seeing some "Sark" or "Ty" type of a thing. The staff is probably closer to Petersen in everything that they do.
You're damn skippy!
Could start with a weekly Sans Malarkey thread

I would have turned in my keys if they had hired Grubb
The other guys had succeeded at smaller schools and Rick at D1 Colorado
Sure Ty won multiple Rose Bowls but he was a proven D1 failure
Ty also competed for national championships!!111!!
