Moment of clarity when you wanted a coach of your team fired?

[Lions=TeHsUcKs]

Mine would have to be DickRod's second year when he lost to Purdue at home. I knew he needed to GTFO! That shit was straight embarrassing after the early 4-0 or 5-0 start.

Nick Holt ... he was Sarkasian's DC at Washington. Fans and boosters had been begging for him to get the axe and the final straw was the Alamo Bowl vs a RG3 Baylor team. The Bears beat the Huskies in that game by a score of 67 - 56. Holt was fired two weeks later.

Also Ty Willingham after his 2nd season at Washington.

Mine was when Kiffin had something like 15 bubble screens in the first game of the season to one WR (Lee I think)
Next when sark lost to a not so good Husky team at home. Fans in the stands were openly asking if he was drunk.

What about Sark himself? He had three straight 7-6 seasons at a program with a solid history.

I think fans were fed up with him but after suffering through Ty Willingham the general feeling was just happy to be going bowling.

I will admit, we gave Dick Rod an extremely short leash, shorter than Strong at UT, but he clearly wanted to fully tear it down and not use any of the assets he was left with, which lead to his quick demise. Atleast Hoke ran some forms of spread because he knew that's the type of players he had in season 1. With that said, Hoke was the worst coach ever at Michigan. That Shane Morris debacle was just a disgrace.

I was amazed that Oregon hired Hoke as their DC, especially since Hoke hadn't been a DC since he coached high school football. He literally destroyed that defense ... especially when he went to the 4 - 3 after Oregon had always ran a 3 - 4 and recruited thus.

The hiring of Hoke was perplexing to a lot of Michigan fans as well. It pretty much cemented David Brandon as a shitty AD.

Haha yeah I feel you on that. That loss was probably the same feeling I had when Carr lost to Appy State. And that was with an established HC. The Rose Bowl loss to USC(a team at the time that wasn't as talented as ours for once that year) in 2007, was another one which was embarrassing.

I don't know he looks sober

Are you serious? I was at that game (it was 2006 season). USC was much better than Michigan . USC won 38- 18

What about moments that pass and come to new moments.... too many to name

 

[Lions=TeHsUcKs]

2006 USC won 32-18 where Michigan had like 7 draft picks and a couple of Pro Bowl/All pros. That team was undercoached in the bowl game clearly and they got burned by a slow and overrated Dwayne Jarrett.

 

[Chewbaccer]

In 2015 against Florida, Mark Richt for some reason to start third string QB, Faton Bauta in the game supposedly because he was a running threat. That in itself was fine, I didn't mind trying something different. Lambert was serviceable, but nothing to write home about and Brice Ramsey had proven time and time again that he was only fit for use in mop up duty and handing the ball off to kill clock.

But come game time, it was clear the Bauta didn't belong on the field. He wound up throwing 4 interceptions, and for a QB that was supposed to be a running threat, he ran the ball once for like 8 yards, and Richt left the poor kid out there to die, and a 27-3 loss was the result.

The first time Richt got on the hot seat(the 0-2 start in 2011 following the worst UGA team that I can recall in 2010 and a subpar 2009 season) I was still in his corner, mainly because Aaron Murray looked like he could be something special, but in 2015 after getting ran out of our own stadium by Bama, blowing a big lead to lose to Tennessee and that Florida game debacle, I was grateful for the things Richt had done at UGA, but knew it was time to move on.

I think both UGA and Richt will both be better off for it in the long run too and I wish him no ill will.

USCs defense had LBs Ray Malauga, Clay Mathews , Brian Cushing, Kaluka Malava all of which started in the NFL with two defensive rookie of the years. Taylor Mays,Lawrence Jackson, Fili Moala, Keith Rivers. All of these on defense ended up drafted. If I remember correctly Clay Mathews couldnt start ahead of the others and they made the elephant position for him so he would play more.
On Offense you had Sanchez and Booty both of which got drafted, Charles Brown , Fred Davis, Ryan Kalil were others who were drafted. Get outta here with a couple of all pros.lol. USC was clearly the more talented team.

USC was not more talented that that 2006 Michigan team. That team had Leon Hall, Lamar Woodley, Alan Branch and David Harris on defense. Those were 4 guys whom during the late 2000s, could have built the foundation to a top 10 NFL defense let alone a top college defense. That team was clearly outcoached by Carrol and Carr was a shell of himself. That team should have gone to the National Championship atleast but Carr had no clue how to coach against either a spread or against a team with similar talent. A lot of those players on your list weren't even fully developed. I didn't even mention Chad Henne, Mario Manningham, Jake Long, Adrian Arrington, Steve Breaston, or Brandon Graham(whom was not developed).

99 and 2000, John Coopers last 2 seasons, are ones I just like to block from memory

There were plenty of "Fire Cooper" moments over the years though.

When we didn't win every championship from 2001 onward...
