The funny thing is…this is probably how basically everyone college program is run but we got used to clown show and this seems prophetic now. Key isn’t blowing smoke up anyone’s ass. He isn’t setting the expectations low either like both Goof and Pastner always did to cover themselves if they had bad seasons which is just so pathetic.
Sometimes I wonder how close we were to hiring Fritz. Glad we didn't - but I wonder how close it was.
Next man up!
Or kick a field goal or extra point.
My impression was that he had the papers in hand, but the offer was contingent on him signing before Tulane's bowl game and he declined. I'd rather have Key anyway.
I don't think it ever made it that far. I think folks on his side made it sound that way.

I remember when Coach Clown "paid attention to the fans" against Northern Illinois. That didn't turn out too well, either.
That’s something that has always perplexed me; fans always want to go for the TD (or 1st or whatever) in a game. Some coach (maybe Collins maybe not) saw something that made them change his mind; why do you say he “listened to the fans” on the decision not to kick?
