You act like the finalists were Saban, Riley, Day, etc. The finalists were Willie Fritz and Key.he's the guy our big alum donors wanted. That's where the $$$ came from to hire him and those big donors refused to give it unless it was Key.
People get in their feelings when we play bad (and make no mistake, this is horrific). It’s hyperbole, though. Collins had at least 5 performances worse than this, and MTSU was every bit as bad.
To be clear, I don’t mean that as a defense of this performance. The apparent lack of effort is unacceptable and I’d be pretty worried about my job if I was CAT.
Citadel?Collin’s never had a loss this bad
Who was the right person? Not saying Key is awesome because clearly these results speak for themselves. But who was turning this around instantly?Please learn one lesson going forward. Don’t fit mid-season. Grin and bear it. The least little success by the interim and you end up hiring the wrong person.

We have a strength program?Still looks like our strength program is lacking.
Unfortunately, hard to disagree with you.38 unanswered points. Garbage team and coaching staff.
Put that in Thackers termination papers.Look at that stat. 380+ yd given up in every game
And our recruiting.Still looks like our strength program is lacking.
Why didn’t we hire the other guy? Why was that our list?You act like the finalists were Saban, Riley, Day, etc. The finalists were Willie Fritz and Key.
I suppose there are different ways to qualify or quantify bad performances, but just from the standpoint of being competitive against bad non-P5 opponents, this is about as bad as I can remember since that MTSU game. We certainly had blowout losses to some mediocre ACC teams, but the non-P5 losses were generally close games (though games we had no business losing, of course). Maybe the 24-2 loss to Temple, but that team had way more talent than this Bowling Green team.
And now you’re hitting on the global problem. The lack of $$$. GT was never going to be able to afford Hugh Freeze. Supposedly Chadwell wanted more $$$ than GT was willing to spend.
In the end, it’s 1 bad game in a rebuilding year. GT was a 5, 6 max win team. I’ll give CBK 1 more year in 2024 to show his impact.
Fritz disagreed with our timeline to arrive on campus, iircWhy didn’t we hire the other guy? Why was that our list?
I agree it is hard to believe.We have a strength program?
