No it happened with USC last year and Arizona state this year. USC made a home run hire and turned it around immediately. Will we?
Arkansas fired Jack Crowe after the first game of his third season in 1992.
USC fired Helton early in season and then landed Lincoln Riley the day after OU’s regular season ended on Nov. 27. On Nov. 28 he boarded a plane to LA.
Fingers crossed next Saturday for us!
Helton was fired after the second game. So even earlier than Frost.
If we want to see a look-alike for what pain and suffering looks like being a college football fan, look no further than Arkansas football.
They’ve hired 10+ coaches in 30 years. Holtz forced out, Hatfield saga, Ford, Houston Nutt, the Petrino farce, all the way to Bielema. And who knows how Pittman is going to work out.
Thank God we aren’t in the SEC West.
Doubt it. Nebraska doesn’t seem to be in the “excellent decision” business lately.
No. USC has WAY more talent than we do top to bottom. We are going to have to be patient for at least 2-3 years for the lines to be rebuilt (especially the O-line). I think the D-line will improve quicker but the O-line talent here is non-existent and is in complete shambles!

To quote Meatloaf, "You took the words right out of my mouth."
Ohio State 2011, Jim Tressel resigned before the season. Luke Fickell was named interim HC and coached all twelve games.
LSU also. Tennessee was horrible a couple years ago so they have made a nice turnaround also.
USC, LSU and Tennessee all had very talented rosters. They just needed the right coach, and the turn around was very fast. Or in SC's case, immediate.
