Dude, you’re arguing Fisher should be fired and that we’re doomed because we aren’t going to the fricking Citrus Bowl. I’m grasping at straws?!

I'm saying we just lost a shite ton of momentum. Yes, dropping from a NYD Florida bowl down to a midweek Memphis or Charlotte or Houston bowl is a big drop. It's bad for short and long term perception. It's bad for recruiting. It's bad for exposure.

Also YES, as long as Jimbo has playcalling duties he is NOT the answer and it's pretty clear. Obviously we can't fire him b/c his contract is idiotic but losing to this LSU team is all we need to know that if he's calling the plays he ain't the guy.

Calzada at QB can't be an excuse. Whose fault is that? LSU had more than half their starters on defense out for this game, have a coach who was already fired, and they were also running w/a backup QB. This is an inexcusable loss that can clearly be placed at Jimbo's feet. How many times are we going to have to sit here and watch him abandon the run so his precious passing game can win the day? How many times do we have to see a player like Achane kill it on a drive only to be completely forgotten for the entire 4th quarter? We have a QB whisperer who coaches a QB that has the worst footwork I've ever seen at a major P5 school and he's been on the roster for 3 years already.


Would I love to be wrong? Hell yes I would. But I can already see the writing on the wall for next year. We're going to get a heaping dose of "This is a rebuilding year and '23 will be when we really have a chance" as we struggle to win 8 games w/a new QB, a ton of new starters on D, and a line that will probably once again end up being a work in progress all year long.

Fisher shouldn't be fired. He will hopefully accept that he failed this season, and work to improve. However, if he left for LSU I wouldn't be upset at that outcome either.

As long as he holds on to Weigman
