Kids dont love it

I mean, did they really expect anything different? The writing has been on the wall since NIU last year (arguably) and the team had already been blown out twice this year, 4 games in. On top of that they just lost a winnable game due to stupid mistakes, and had a 4th punt blocked this year. Offense, defense and special teams were all atrocious, which all falls to the coach.

Does he think they had any season goals left to play for? This season is already over for us, might as well get moving on next season.

Those players must have been in a bubble.

A bubble that was above the line.

The sad truth to football is that it is a cut throat profession. A significant percentage of athletes don’t finish with the same coach that recruited them.

As to the timing, it should have been at the end of last season. But Todd bought a little more leash and now it has to happen in a very unceremonious way. The program is on the path to insolvency by season’s end with CGC leading the team. It had to happen.

What I'm seeing is that we need a real football coach AND bring back Derick Moore

The players don't seem to be as bothered by the losses as the fans are. Is that the culture that Collins has left behind? Bad news for the next HC (post Key) if so.

Yes. That was the problem all along. Being coddled after losses is what produces this. Getting shellacked every Saturday and crying because the man responsible is canned.

Nothing wrong with defending your coach, even if he wasn't great at his job. Sucks for the players, but their feelings are to be expected. No point in bashing them too. Many of them probably will not stick around, but I do kind of hate it for then

We only had to listen to Collins’ BS from time to time. The players heard it everyday, so I imagine some were brainwashed in the process.

bingo .. first thought that went thru my mind. .. like welp there's the problem.

If the players don't play well, the coach gets fired. It kind of is a slap in the face for players. It's reality. If your coach likes his job, he beats wins out of you. If you aren't able, he shouldn't have recruited you.. It's the P5 game. There's so much money involved, competition is king. The big problem is that you have to win some competitions.

It happens in life. It is business. We needed to break clean.

 

[WreckJunkie]

I'm on the "outside" and it's definitely NOT my fault, the results suck.

 

[ThomsonJacket]

I think we need to limit our bashing. It seems a lot of the players really did trust and love Collins.

Then they should've played like it.

Probably loved him because he didn't hold any of them accountable.
