Former NC state 100M & 200M champ.

NFL WR size and speed and can actually catch passes instead of bricking them down to the turf like some of our starters at WR this year.

Yet he was relegated to ST.

Ididn't even know he existed until the Liberty Bowl and then goes and sets a school record for longest TD catch, and looks like he has dynamite in his game.

Yet he never saw a single snap at WR on a 6-6 team?

Something does not add up.

He was the cause of an injury time out for every touch after the touchdown.

Teslaa was on the field and was pedestrian but looked all sec in the same game...

Entitled, overpaid coach that plays favorites and closes practices might have something to do with it.

Let's stop with this crap.. It isn't complete in honesty. He is paid less than 14 SEC coaches, plays favorites with those who are $$$ biggest NIL (Which most do), and I am fine with closed practices...
And, the NIL players we get overall, do not compare to other SEC schools. Projected to win 4 max this season by almost every media pundit out there, and most on here...


This line of reasoning is weak minded at best... Find a different angle to complain about, there are plenty that are obvious! dude...

Why did you make a whole thread asking the question that everyone knows the answer?

He’s a mediocre coach that we have coddled and gassed up for 5 years.

You think you and Wally Hall and the rest of our loser fan base celebrating mediocrity is helpful for the guys ego or lighting a fire under his arse to play his best guys?

The closed practices creates zero objective accountability and lets him continue his mediocre, entitled, 7-6 is good enough culture in perpetuity.

Our weak arse culture is the reason a stud athlete with sure hands wasn’t getting a look. And it will continue with this lifetime contract we have given the guy.

You somehow managed to blame NIL again for his shitty player evaluations and roster management.

Why even bother asking these questions anymore if it’s poor ole NILs fault? He sucked in 2022 and again in 2023 when NIL wasn’t as much of a thing…

Keep kicking the can.

Look again, brah! WHAT THE>>>>

Don't disagree... But he has achieved more than the last 2, right? And went against the odds, dealt with Covid, and having 0 NIL support, when compared to the rest of the SEC.

Jump the shark much? Me and Wally? lmao. We are what we have been, and will continue being until major changes happen. The HC is one of the least of those needed.

It so keeps added distractions from happening. I have no issue with it... But, keep on bud.

Maybe, maybe not... Perhaps it was practice... He may have sucked, until now. But let's not pretend that if you have someone paying $$$$ for a player, and you do not play that player? How will it go? but... keep on man.

Which is it, he is either great at evaluating talent which is misuses, like many say? I mean, he has taken that lesser rated talent and stayed close to LSU, Beat Tenner, etal?? or is the talent crappy because of the lack of $$$... Can't have both arguments, unless you just like to rant on.

Aww, ok... from a 9 win season to sucking, to doing more than the prognosticators.

When are we going to quit blaming the coach, and blame the upper level of our Admin who shoestrings the budget, doesn't support NIL, or $$$, and controls the narriative with their political BS?

times have changed man. And we are not changing fast enough. What would Pitt do with a great NIL, with a true GM, with a support from the AD and BOT that matters?

Look, I don't hang on his jock strap bro. But we absolutely suck at hiring coaches and achieving anything with them in the SEC. In today's game... Pitt is exactly what we need .. IF, IF, IF we want to support like we ought to. We have fired our way into a predictament really. Nobody wanted the job after Chad (Don't start with Kiff) he was chasing the $$$ regardless and is a pretentous douche bag, how will stab you in the back faster than... Nevermind, keep on man!

Less than an average CFB HC would do with those resources

is anyone happy with a win.

I mean, it seems like the win in the Liberty Bowl doesn't matter to anyone, right?

I seem to believe that the portal is pretty good this year. Our Oline will improve greatly. Our Qback play with BP being here another season will improve, I am awaiting the D a bit... and watching for the RB room.


Glass half full man! I was shocked to see the team play so well on Friday. They were fired up and defeated a team less depleted than them overall.

If he can’t beat the worst p4 team in CFB with what we have now, what reason is their to believe its a resource/support problem?

Both opinions. One backed by years of failure. The other is just pie in the sky hope

Certainly shouldn’t. Pittman has been getting credit for the Penn State scrimmage for years

Listen boss, I've lived with mediocre football for 60 years with a few exceptions.

We're an unserious program and have been for a while.

While the landscape of college football is rapidly changing we'll continue to fall further behind.

But go ahead and continue to carry the torch because most of us old heads have checked out.

Maybe before you get my age they'll be competitive enough to win 9 games or be in the CFP.


All I wanted to see was a baseball natty and they managed to frick that up as well.

Every coach plays favorites.

Petrino likely missed a bowl his first year as he rotated his guys at QB trying to dump Casey Dick, this when everyone knew it was Mallett's job in year two.

A two win improvement to 8-4.

9-4 with a Las Vegas Bowl win.

Sam sucks.


Good guy, but he sucks.

His players play undisciplined, sloppy, with no ball control. He literally physically appears to be undisciplined and sloppy himself.

With not much NIL (allegedly) hes winning half the time despite being undisciplined and sloppy. Imagine what another mediocre coach could do with mediocre talent and a little more discipline and ball control.


Your post reads of a guy who spends way too much on his tickets and by God "it's still real to me damnit"

Nahhh, I am good man. It is a game, that I love to watch and enjoy. It was a good win at a mediocre bowl game. I get the frustration but again do not believe anything will change without it happening upwards down. Sam is towards the bottom of my concerns.


BOT>HY>NIL Management> NIL Engagement (fans/corporate)> Pittman....

In that order for me man! Change the BOT, fire the AD, Fire the NIL Management team and hire a Manager, Hire a engagement team fro the manager to fire up corporate and fans and then with that plan Fire Pittman and hire a coach. Until the other steps are taken .. the rest will remain mediocre in football. JMHO!
