Wow, one agent said--who gives a FXCK what one, or any agent says. If you actually knew anything about football, NFL players are starting to go away from agents.

Throttle back a bit, please. You can make an effective counterpoint without getting nasty.
Mike, I was messing with him--not trying to be nasty. I forgot to add the wink at the end. We actually know each other from real life. He was my UMass chapter alumni director.

Moved up to 129 in the USA Today poll, guess a win over UConn doesn't mean that much to to them. 127 in The Athletic poll!!!

He doesn't get/understand the history behind the "Fire insert coach's name" on the internet. I started it in humor, with some truth, and has become one of the most popular threads on here, which has been starting to die with the 24/7 football board going now.

Jack is as serious as a heart attack and he is serious this ship is going in the right direction. Jack you would say is a homer or Walt Bell's nephew. Wouldn't it be great if Peter Lappas was Jack?

Whipple beat a better UConn team his final year and got fired. Losing to teams is 1 thing. Losing by 40 points is another.
Bamford doesn’t want to fire him because it would simply amplify the terrible decision it was to hire him in the first place.
So what do you propose doing if he get 2 more wins? fire Bell if he goes 3-9 and next year is his last year? Now we start all over again with an unproven P5 OC ala Molnar/Bell?

You should not mention Molnar and Bell in the same breath.

If you want to talk about him on the same breath as HWSNBN or DK that's a reasonable comp.... Bell and MM are a much better comparison at this point.

ZooMass84, I've never seen such a flip in endorsing a coach as much as you have. Few weeks ago you were raging about writing emails to the administration, and now you're proposing extending Bell if he wins only the one game. Wow, what changed your thinking, you get scolded by the AD? :lol:
