Whipple should be fired immediately after this game. I’m done for the season. Thankfully I can’t watch this embarrassing mess.

So about the young HC up in Maine. Is he available? What is the buyout for Whipple?

Can't sack the QB, no fumble recoveries and no pass interceptions. Defense can't stop the run.

The coach definitely should be fired. His 5th year and this is the defense he has? Need somebody young, dynamic, and defense oriented. Strike 2..

And this is just week 3. Imagine what kind of shape we'll be in for USF, BYU, and end of season Georgia, among the others!!!!!

Can we just fold up shop and forfeit the rest of this bowl-bound season?

You know when I got nervous about this season? At the first mention of a "bowl game" and various players being on "watch lists" Get ready to play the remaining home games in front of 4200 people. (maybe lucky if they get that). Year after year it's the same crap.

After the game? How about before the second half...

OK, who succeeds? A defensive coordinator whose value added is questionable, and a 'shadow' OC, also called Whipple? UMASS pay is not competitive for FBS. Feel free to check our coachs' salaries here: http://www.bostonherald.com/news_opinio ... t_name=UMS

I don’t think Bamford will fire Whip before the season is over, it’s a bad look unless you have the next coach on staff.

Whip should resign and finish out the season so Bamford can get a search started without having to sneak around. This season is just sad, there has been no progress made with the exception of the kicking game.

Whip and his spawn should be fired after this game to save the season. GSU and FIU fired their coaches after losing to UMass and they improved over the rest of the season. I know it won't happen but they fired CM with a lot of years left on his contract.

Whip has become as much of an embarrassment as CM was at the end!

Folks, we are doing FBS on the cheap, and we need to, as there is extremely little fan support via attendance, and we are not growing alum support as 95% of students on campus do not even attend the games, just 'tail gate'.

Here is what Whipple made in 2017:

Mark Whipple Head Football Coach UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS SYSTEM (UMS) 2017 $272,654.20 $492,654.20

And his son:Spencer Whipple Assistant Coach UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS SYSTEM (UMS) 2017 $83,779.02 $84,779.28

First total is salary, second is total payments (including salary, plus: incentives, bonuses, camp monies, etc.)
