Anybody notice the growing trend of coaches getting axed in October?

money, and pressure

Norvell should be officially gone before the day is over

I'm blown away they lost to THAT Stanford team.
They must have quit on the season at this point.FSU should be better at basically every position.
For gods sake .. they somehow beat Alabama! -
Alabama looks like a team that didn’t wanna be there that day. Also looks like a team that never has to play a power four out of conference game that isn’t held at a neutral field.
-
we’re just a couple years from firing coaches if they lose opening weekend. Hell, I’m old enough to remember the talking heads shrugging off Deboner’s $70 mil buyout
-
Norvelle was Bama's 1st choice according to some talking heads b4 Kalen took it. Since then he's 5-14 iirc but 1 of those wins was vs. Alabama this year.

when we get to that point, we will know that we belong with the big boys

Yes, and I guess i failed to see this was a thread before shitposting another one on same subject.

This is the NFL jr now. You don’t get a decade to establish relationships and build a practice regimen. The right guy will figure it out immediately. There are probably 6, generously speaking, programs who don’t need the right guy and maybe 10 coaches on earth who are actually good at this. Once you’ve identified you aren’t one of those 6 programs and don’t have one of those 10 guys you move on.

Jay Norvell out at Colorado State after a 2-5 start.

Humans aren't static video game characters without development. Timing does matter as you look at guys like Harbaugh who took a bumpy path to win one, Dabo who won with the best then fell off, Ed Orgeron who held the wheel steady with his eyes closed then got fired.
You're trying to simplify and put in a neat box one of the most complex organic jobs in existence. There's many different paths to being a successful coach and there's no such thing as a finished product for what the game is and what it demands.

One game that pops into my head is the 1979 USC-Stanford game. USC was ranked #1 and tied Stanford 21-21 in the LA Coliseum. Stanford lost to Oregon State who went 1-10. USC finished the season 11-0-1.
These things happen from tim-to-tim.
