RE: Want to know when you have hit rock bottom?
Damn. This is as ugly a fanbase-coach conflict has gotten where wins and losses are concerned that I can recall. Johnson needs to GTFU outta Hattiesburg & soon. I still have a feeling that if he is indeed, "Mayflowered", either one of the recently fired cartel HC's or a certain former USM playing legend will be getting the call to coach the football program next season.

I honestly cannot see "Claude Jr." coming back to Southern Miss after this. He's practically destroyed the program in just one season there.

I don't think Favre is head coaching material, however they may have to go that route to make up for lost $$$'s spent on any buyout.

They are really in a tough spot. The boosters will have to fork out quite a bit.

However, if the ticket sales are mostly walkups & not season tickets, then they are losing a crap load of money & can't afford it to go on much longer.

I have used it as a prime example of how you can have good attendance when you are winning & it all goes to crap when you start losing.

The reverse is also true. Winning draws in fans.

USM should be very fortunate that their last game isn't a home game. It would get really really ugly.

I am fundamentally against firing a coach after one year. You may have made a bad choice, but then you have to deal with it. Who knows, he might turn it around next year. It would be funny to see all the poultry on their faces then.

I'm not sure that enough damage hasn't already been done by everyone involved to even give him a chance to last past this year.

We are talking about at least a 50% reduction in attendance.

I don't think they can afford to keep him, nor can they afford to get rid of him.

A truly cluster.... This next week will be very interesting over there.

Rumor on CCS board is that Ellis & staff will be gone tomorrow.

We shall see.

I can't remember the timing of things, but around the same time that Fedora left they had an AD change & a change in president. At least in a few month period.

They are pissed at everyone right now.

I think the majority wanted the former OC to be chosen as the head coach.

Can we have a forum just for links to the southern miss forum?

Sure. If you don't see the irony in things happening over there by now, I'm not sure you will.

not sure what irony over there has to do with anything...all i know is that this is blazertalk. if i want to go read about southern miss sports, i know where their message board is.

and im sure that somebody will say "if you dont want to read about souther miss, dont click on this thread." at least put something in the thread title to let me know that its about "other teams" or "not blazer related"

just b/c they are in our conference, the fact that usm fans hate the coach isnt blazer related, IMHO
