If we are being honest, that list kind of sucks, right? Not a real clear, good choice.

Yeah let’s go through it:

Lance Leipold: beats ranked teams. probably worse without his OC, still played Illinois closer than we did

Klieman: does a lot with shit talent, already had a conference championship under his belt and may add another this year

Luke Fickell: set to be 2-0 against Rhule

Deion: 1-1 against Rhule, would probably crush him if played today

Aranda: accomplished more with Rhule’s talent than Rhule ever could

Jamey Chadwell: who knows? too much of a pussy to coach P4

Bielema: obviously better than Rhule, not even a debate

So yeah, Rhule is quite literally the worst one.

He was better than Satt in the play calling department.

This is true. He was actually a considerably better play caller when compared to Satt. But I’d also think Rhule is a better HC than Frost. Or at least I think I think that. My confidence in that statement has been shaken over the last 3-5 weeks…

So now that we're almost 2 years in and with all the "fire everyone" talk, hindsight being 20/20, who should we have hired? I included what I remember to be the realistic, most thrown around names. Assuming we weren't getting Saban, Urban, the ghost of Bob Devaney, etc. And guys like Cignetti weren't on anyone's radar.

The balls deep move would’ve been Deboer.

I don't know where he'll go, but I'll be shocked if he's not somewhere bigger/better next year. With a huge contract.

If Indiana is smart, they put all their chips on him for the next eight years. Make it hard to leave.

That’s one of the issues I have with the posters who where most vocal about not hiring Rhule. They were all propping up guys like LL, Klieman, and Fickell. Hard to say any of them would have us on track either.

We need a different, better approach. An identity and a competitive advantage.

So deservedly a lot of discussion about the offensive execution, but good lord, from my seat in the south stadium, this defense has issues now that the competition has improved. Of the 20 DB’s on the roster, they can’t find just 3 suitable backups for the injured starters? Charles was awful, IMO, believe he got pulled before end of first half. S and LBs either look like they overrun the play or fail to wrap up when they seem to be in position to make the tackle. DL no longer can win the line of scrimmage when faced against decent athletes on the OL. Princewell and Williams now MIA.

I know it isn't 2006 but we had a secondary back then with nary a single guy who could make a play on the ball, we went the whole season without any or many pass breakups and few true interceptions.(won 8 games with a good front 4) The front 4 normally has to get pressure with 4, if they don't every secondary will suffer. But, we gave up 21 to OSU, should have won with defense, gave up 24 to Illinois in regulation, gave up 20 to Ucla, 14 to Rutgers....the defense is fine. Those should all be good enough to win with our talent. The secondary is also one of the only positions that has had sustained injuries, what are the excuses for literally every other position... most teams are devastated this time of year across the team...our WRs, QBs, RBs, Dline, Lb have been mostly healthy. And oline could be hit harder. Its crazy to think we started off with 5 straight home game cupcakes, got OSU before PSU, our QB was healthy through all of it and we are still looking at 5-6.

Obviously Klieman, but you have to hire his AD to get him.

The good thing is we have a chance at coaches with a similar pedigree like Vigen.

Kielman politely turned Tren down when it appeard that Rhule was out with panthers owner issues. LL lost his OC and went to shit and Fickle will have to beat us again to get bowl eligible in year2 Not sure how long Wisky will settle for that. So not a great list.

Just let Rhule dig his own grave.

I agree with this, but, not in an “I’m cheering for failure” kinda way that you are pining for here.

I doubt if the word "fired" is used with any possible coaching departures. We might hear "We've decided to go in a different direction" or "We wish coach X well as he leaves & accepts another position." I also think Rhule is a class act in trying to find any released coaches a job at another program.

I really hate that we might be looking at another postseason of no bowl game and wondering if our HC is going to make some drastic changes or stubbornly stick with his guys.

I want to defend Garrett McGuire. It's very easy to look bad when you are coaching under the wrong coordinator. But given the poor performance, horrible blocking effort and technique of these receivers, it looks like some of those receivers don't even respect him. Those receivers are playing at a level that will get their position coach fired.

Aaron Murray had been calling out our wrs since week one against UTEP. Garret McGuire should not be a position coach at this level. He's in over his head

Absolutely no way Satt survives this. Popular opinion has already decided.

The sad thing is that if Rhule fires Satterfield, it likely will be because of the pressure on him to do it. I doubt that he would do it otherwise.

Nobody fired. Won’t be anyone fired. Everything will remain the same. Which means we end at 5-7 again.

Then we win the offseason again. Good recruiting class. Some decent transfers. Optimism will reign.
Then next Fall we will go 3-9.
