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

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.

Tells me that those schools probably should have fired their coaches at the end of last season.

Then I suppose once you determine you're not one of the 6 (WA isn't even in the top 20), then does it make sense to "move on" and establish an almost permanent state of instability? WA has everything except billionaire financial backing and the proper political mindset (trantifa loving faggots hate football) to be a perennial power.
-
Yes. There’s no such thing as stability with unlimited free agency and no salary cap. I think I just realized I hate this sport.
-
Yeah, hardly anyone got fired last offseason. This year’s cycle is going to be a complete shitshow.

Not top 20? Scary what losing a road game to Michigan does to a guy

I kind of got a kick out of seeing FSU at Stanford and thought how ridiculous that would have been like 5 years ago.
I’m too lazy to look but does anyone know if that was FSU’s first trip ever to the West Coast? If I had to bet I’d say it was.

Too long.
Too intellectual.
Too apologetic.
Too many big words. This is a sports forum, buddy. Words like "complex" and "organic" have no place.
Btw, every program needs the right guy. Alabama is not automatically good. Nobody is.

Some need the right guy more than others. Ryan Day is not elite in my book, but decent to good can still snag a Natty at Buckeye.
