He caught lightening in a bottle one time, while exciting it wasn't sustainable.
How the hell do you know if it was sustainable or not? He was here for 4 years and we were the preseason #8 team in the country when he was fired.

Year 1: 5 wins
Year 2: 8 wins
Year 3: 10 wins
Year 4: 11 wins


All the bitching and whining about unproven coaches and people worrying about who can and can't win here. How about the guy that already has? Remove his first season with Nutt's sloppy seconds and the guy went 29-10 here in 3 seasons with an absolute dumpster fire to work with at the start. He literally took us from 5 wins to BCS Bowl in 3 seasons. How does that not sound EXACTLY like the kind of coach we need? I'm convinced that there's a portion of the fanbase that just doesn't like success.


ETA: As an aside, I think this is a pipe dream and won't happen, but the people adamantly going against the very idea have more on their minds than just winning football games. I don't give a frick about his moral compass or his commitment issues. The guy wins football games and that's what you pay them for. After fatass I'm done with all the rah rah. Just fricking win.

I think what he's doing at Louisville kinda shows he's past his prime. Honestly the 2011 team got really lucky to beat some bad teams.

Did you see all the threads about his recruiting and the attrition from his classes?
