I heard Wilson didn’t cry at the end of Old Yeller.
I also heard he went and bought a Delorean because he thought time travel was real.

Fire him TOMORROW!

A very big name in the TU community is telling me that Wilson is going to be fired very soon. Let the countdown begin….
The recipe for a “successful” coaching tenure:
1. Wait to take over your responsibilities in favor of your last position. Don’t worry your new players don’t need any help. Recruiting can wait.
2. When you get to work, don’t take any time learning your players names… they appreciate being called by numbers.
3. Try to be as rude as possible to the media. Their support doesn’t matter. Also, be publicly critical of your 18 year old kids’ talent levels or work ethics… that will gain a lot of trust. Don’t hesitate to call them out by name.
4. Hire as many mediocre coordinators as you can.
5. Install an offensive system that was built to compete in the big 10 twenty years ago. That will certainly give you a competitive advantage.
6. Switch from a successful defensive philosophy to one not tailored to your personnel.
7. Take extra care to run the ball a lot if you lack offensive line experience. Those kids need the extra reps to suck less!
8. Don’t identify a competent quarterback. Get yourself in a classic QB competition where no one gets enough practice reps and you tell your scholarship QB’s that they’re not as good as walk ons…

I’ve been saying that for 8 years now. If another school has no problem seeing us take their coach, it probably means they’re not a good coach.
This aligns with what I have heard as well. There is one specific game that I keep hearing as the “timeframe” and it’s not FAU.
Senator, I can neither confirm nor deny these allegations.
No, don’t ever say that. Cheer for your team and the rest will take care of itself.
I agree , but playing devils advocate, do you cheer for temporary losing in order to set the team up to play winning football again ? I think most here just want what’s best for TU football , myself included. However, I do think it will take care of itself like you said
Pulling for the opponent could lump you in with some other posters, both former and current, that you don’t want to be associated with.
Yeah… to expect something to happen vs hoping it happens are two really different things.
I definitely understand and agree with what both of you are saying , my point was that some people are going to be saying that because they think it will speed up the process to turn the program around
I'm pulling for the TU brass to use their brains and testes. This fat fraud has got to go. And 3/4's of the entire team needs to go to the portal since they suck horrifically and have zero fight.
I don't think we'll need to root for the opponents. They probably won't need our help.
Vince Carrilot was fired during the summer of 1970 for recruiting violation that landed TU on probation. Claude "Hoot" Gibson was a serial womanizer who the players did not respect. Dave Rader was fired mid-season 1999, which was a totally bungled deal. Mid-season (or late season now) firings rarely produce positive results, unless waking a program out of a coma is achieved.
I think we should fire him late season to get ahead of the coaching hire. There is no other reason to do it, other than that.
ECU is 3-0 since firing their coach mid-season, but I do see your point.
With the portal now, getting a jump on finding a new coach is necessary. The players we want to stay, regardless of what some have said about them on here, will possibly be more willing to stay if a coach is named quickly. So today, firing mid season, while it may not show immediate results, could be beneficial sooner rather than a long rebuild.
Reportedly the biggest reason Hoot Gibson's womanizing was such a problem was that one of the women he "ized" was school President Pascal (the Rascal) Twyman's coed girlfriend.
Since Wilson's ouster seems to be imminent, let's start discussing possible replacements. Obviously Kinne is going to be choice #1. Do we even have enough leverage anymore to pull him from Texas State? I would assume Milkman is on the list...he's at least on my list. My hope is they don't go after Seth Littrell.
Is Gillespie even an option now after his "failed" stint at TCU? (I mean he did help get them into the CFP).
Heck, is the DC at Indiana (you know the guy who was the DC here for like 3 months over the summer before leaving for that job) a candidate? That IU defense is really really good.
Does Jerry O have any more pro-connections he could pull a darkhorse candidate for?

No
Hell no for anyone who’s failed recently in a job..and hell no to the Indiana guy.
Waiting for the Haisten article that always includes super under qualified candidates and even a high school coach or two.
Yeah, guaranteed he asks if now is the time for Loren Montgomery (Bixby) to make that jump. Or he'll push a Demarco Murray as the best TU can afford.
Gillespie is probably out of college coaching for the next 2 years minimum. He is enjoying being able to actually watch Jake as a dad and not as a coach right now. He’s also got a pretty good gig at Midway right now. Possibly the only reason he would jump on the TU HC job is that his grandkids are mostly (all but 1 I think) are in the Tulsa area still.
I’ve heard Kinne is the #1 from multiple people, both lettermen and others. A couple times I have heard Kinne and bring Leftwich and Dex with him as well. I think it will not only be hard to get Kinne away from Texas St., but out of Texas in general.
Milkman has been floated a few times as well. I’ve heard HC and I have heard Kinne/Milkman/Dex as a staff wishlist as well.
Whoever it is, they need to jump on them fast.
Maybe Haisten will suggest TU hire Shaker Reisig's dad in order to sign his son. Haisten has a huge bro-crush on them both.
If you are talking about Guerrieri who jumped from TU to Indiana after 3 days on the job (yes, I know it was longer) he’s not even on the staff at Indiana this season. Cignetti brought his DC from JMU with him.
Are you talking about Tom Allen (Penn St DC)?
Wow, I never even looked at the Indiana staff for this year to check if Guerrieri was still on it. I just assumed he was. So he left us for one year of failing to coach at the level Cignetti desired!
Montgomery did that in 2021. He did benefit from the Tulane kicker missing a chip shot field goal that would have dropped TU to 3-7. But that team had more fight in them than this year's squad. They need to play like they did in the second half vs. UTSA.
OK, who is making the “GJ COME
HOME” sign for Thursday??
Maybe a “Got Milkman?” sign?
🤣🤣🤣🤣

I find people thinking of hiring GJ amusing. We would have to offer him a massive raise that no one else is offering, including Texas St is offering. That won't happen. Somebody will offer him at least 2 million. I think Texas St would offer that. A couple of hundred thousand higher offer by us with no nil, after our 'courtesy interview' is not going to bring him here. i don't think he would come with no nil, even if we were a mil over every other offer he had. But that's just my opinion.
