What was it, five or six years ago that the school first approached him and asked him to step down? Second, I can see no way this can go on past this year. Maybe he can win three of his last six games to get to 400...maybe not...but this has to be it this year, I'd think.
They'd probably like to have a "farewell tour" season to send him out with all the pomp and circumstance and stuff, but not only would he probably not want that...they don't have the luxury of keeping him around for another whole season, based on the damage being done to the program, from the looks of it.
I guess it would help if he could be persuaded to make an announcement himself...(soon?) so the last several games could in effect be that farewell tour. I just hope it doesn't get ugly (in public at least). The man deserves to go out with dignity and in a classy way.
Yah Wiz, it seems this has no become a much more toxic situation than FSU ever was.
I think you have to think this is at least partially true, as the on the field product is CLEARLY suffering from much more than lack of experience or talent or both.
This group of assistants has had praise heaped upon them in large helping the last several years between Bradley and the D and what the offensive coaches have done recently.
There is some disturbing stuff in these rumors, coaches fighting in front of the players? How could you expect discipline in your team? And everyone had to be wondering what the deal was with their epically slow start to recruiting?
If you can find somewhere that takes bets on the next PSU coach, laying a nice chunk on Golden and the Field might be a solid investment.

I think it’s too much or too strong or whatever.’ I said, ‘well, we might have to.’ And he goes, ‘well, if we have to, then you’ve got to tell me, because I won’t do it.’ And I said, ‘OK, then I might have to tell you. Fine.'''
