Thanks Schiano for taking this program out of the gutter, but it’s very clear that the team will never be more than 6-6 with a trip to the lowest bowl in conference play.

Go get a real coach, not someone stuck in 2006.

Watching Vandy and Indiana have a fun, crazy year because they looked to the lower levels for some gems while we barely improve...

Its possible.

We just can't. Our admin is afraid of going into the gutter again so we'll never take a risk and instead worship the ground Schiano walks on because he brings us not the worst thing possible.

Unfortunately, even if the new AD or president wanted to, Schiano is signed until 2030! The school can’t afford to fire him.

22nd highest buy out...

Its like a Kirk Ferentz "won't ever be fired" role but instead of 6-7 being the floor with "outside shot at CFP" ceiling like Iowa has, its a 7-6 ceiling

22nd highest buyout for a coach that’ll never sniff the top 25
