Oh wow I didn't realize it was that bad.
How does a team only produce 11 turnovers in an entire year? That's...I don't even know how to describe it.

How does Chuck Pagano still have a job? I only caught the last 2 minutes and OT and he was horrific. 3rd and 7, tie game, 35 seconds left at your own 15, opponent with 1 TO left, with a QB playing his 1st game for you and you pass? Lol.
I would fire him on the spot. I don't care that Ariz missed the fg.

As a fan of a division rival, I hope they keep him forever.
That being said, he's gotta be the worst coach in the league right now. It's comical how bad his game management is.
Nebraska isn't going to schedule many nonconference opponents with the idea of being challenged.

I get it from the Nebraska perspective. They need to beat a MAC team at home.
But NIU (yes, I went there) has a history of beating big schools. Carey is 4-1 vs the big 10 now, with their one lose being by only 7 pts at #1 Ohio St. They have been one of the better non power 5 programs for a while now, although they had a down year last season. Show a little respect, lol.

Believe me NIU is my second favorite team this week and if it isn't CU or Bama I am a total class warrior in college football.
I also love the idea of Nebraska being so dumb they get hoisted on their own petard underestimating the MAC school they scheduled.

Lower expectations might help him. But Gary Andersen who was Mike Riley's replacement at Oregon State isn't doing too hot either. He's off to a 1-3 start in year 3 there for him. He got blown out by Colorado State, Minnesota, & Washington State while pulling out a close win against Portland State so far. He went 2-10 & 4-8 in his first two years.
Voight

Because Irsay is a moron. Pagano should have been fire after last season but he won the power struggle over Grigson, either way he's a goner this year IMO. Can't see the Colts finishing any better than 8-8.

Unless they completely fall off of a cliff, he's probably safe for the season.
No doubt they've looked horrid though.

Overall the Giants seem to be a pretty loyal organization and McAdoo seems to be one of "their guys" but that offense has been bad for awhile and he is the only one to blame for it.
I am surprised after last year they didn't think about bringing in a new play caller/OC but after the first two games I don't know how you can't be looking to bring in something new when McAdoo was already a bad OC prior to being HC and now appears to be worse.

right, and who deserves the most loyalty - Eli or doo-doo?
The coach is basically saying it's either him or me, in not in so many words. I don't like his chances

I'm convinced Lovie Smith was just chasing a paycheck when he signed up for that job. It was a dumpster fire to begin with but even he's seemed to mailed it in at this point.
He should be entering next season likely on the hot seat.
I think they'd fire The OC first and blame it on him. Then let the new guy run the plays

RIP Fugu
Honestly I think he simply jumped at first offer as HC because he knew that in NFL he would likely need to take a coordinator job and he doesn't want to do it

Maybe. He's getting up there in age so perhaps this was a way to collect a nice check before retiring as he's making $4M a year there.
I don't really think he's a fit for the college game & everything that comes with it though. It's been decades since the last time he was in college coaching & a lot has obviously changed.

Two questions I put here to avoid creating a new thread:
1) Roughly where does Jim Caldwell stack up against other coaches? Reviews seem to be mixed so I gather he's middle of the pack, maybe on the high-side of middle?
2) Obviously, the strength of resources they have have to be accounted for; so how do you assess a coach for a cellar-dweller team over a single season? What are the most important things you can reasonably expect, is it just keeping penalties and turnovers low?
