That's the best part of this sight. Marshall fans irritate me sometimes. Many of them have no expectations and buy the fluff pieces by the soft Huntington press and excuses coming out the athletic dept.
That is what I appreciate about programs like Alabama, Ohio State, etc. They call it as the see it and if some coach tanked it with a 3-9 collapse of the season they would run them out on a rail. Or, at least the vast majority of the fans would be pulling out the pitch forks. They demand it.
This football season and the collapse of the MU program in one year was the worst thing I have followed in the history of teams I follow in sports. They have done nothing down in Old Main or the Athletic Dept. Now the coach is loading up on every JUCO player east of the Mississippi. That is a sure sign of desperation. We run a read option offense and recruit drop back quarterbacks that are no threat to run. We have 6 plays maybe. Our attrition rate is higher than a McDonald's store in the summer.
Old Mad Hatter Les Miles got another year and a few games into it the next season at was 2-2. They didnt like what the saw and bam, gone. No bull shitting around about it. Les had won a national title and finished runner up. Was losing ground and couldn't keep up with Saban and canned right in mid stream.
At Marshall we sit around and do nothing for 5 years most of the time. We hand out contract extensions to mediocre or poor coaches. We run off the good coaches. We even play cream puff schedules and have one conference championship to show for it in umpteen years.
I don't give up on a lot and am very loyal to sports teams but, Marshall is about to test my patience.
