Your fired!!
This college football season is not unlike alot of other seasons with its share of upsets and craziness. Maybe its always been this way but i believe the expectations of certain teams regarding their successes or failures is just as crazy. Teams with reasonable seasons such as Purdue and North carlina state decided that bowl eligabillity was not good enogh for their programs. NC state was 7-5 with a victory over florida state and a close loss to Clemson. Purdue finished 6-6 winning their last three games and playing ohio state and Notre dame down to the wire. These pink slips are premature and stupid. Athletic directors and fans need to be more realistic and understand that lofty goals within top 40 programs take time and alot of fortunate circumstances. Granted going to a bowl game is not as glamorous as it used to be but a bowl payout is better than a losing season. Purdues athletic director stated that their goal was to play in the Rose bowl. He said that coach Hope was a hard worker and that he cared about the football team. He also said that he believed that offense was their ticket to Pasadena. Translation i wish joe tiller was still the coach. My question to them is what coach that you could hire is much better than Danny Hope? No big time coach is coming to West Lafayette to take Purdue to the Rose bowl. A top 40 program is going to the Rose Bowl if the junior and senior classes produce quality players and they stay healthy You dont fire a coach and look for lightning in a bottle. You stay with the coaches and quality players that are in your program and be satisfied with bowl trips. You wait for your experienced players to improve and you take a shot at a conference championship when that happens. When your 3-8 next year Boiler fans you will be clammering for that terrible coach you just fired. And my response to Purdue and other programs like them is You cant fix stupid.
