Of course, I don’t think he’s the type of Coach to run around kissing booster’s a$$, so he’s probably out.

 

[bubba2023]

Sorry but all of these guys have lost MULTIPLE, I repeat MULTIPLE games. I'm out on all of them. Everybody back to the drawing board.

 

[outhereincali]

Can we just stop all this talk about a new coach and let the current coach finish the season? He has a chance to finish on a high note.

 

[dj701919]

I won't mention the guy that went 8-24-1 during his first 3 years as a coach in a Power 5 conference.

One criteria that is important to me is that the HC holds the line on the Core Values. It is Charlie's thing, but, if there happens to be a new coach, I would love for that person to continue with the Core Values.

 

[diadevic]

I didn't realize what a diamond Jim Grobe is.

Are you being sarcastic?

 

[westx]

Are you being sarcastic?

No. With all of the Charlie bashing, I can see where you may think that. That is why said, "if" there happens to be a new coach. In this day and age, that would be simply one of the criteria I would like to have.
