Parker Fleming (Official Thread)

That and we usually have seen these changes occur after signing day.

That's what it likely is, you don't rock the boat with recruiting before NSD making coaching changes after an 11-1 season. I would imagine (and hope) that behind the curtain Fleming is looking for other jobs and we are looking for someone else.

The longer he's employed, the more convinced I am that all of this fake punt stuff was intentional bad calls made by Ryan Day and he's too insecure for that to be public so he just continues to employ Fleming.

One of the "fake punts" was a bad snap....it wasn't a true fake.

Still here?
Dammit.

I'm just bumping this so it's easier to find and update now that signing day is over.

Day implied if he does anything he will do it after the bowl in the press conference yesterday.

Haha that is fair. My view is that we want to win this bowl game and firing a coach right now won't help achieve that. But one second after the clock ticks out 12/29/23, I would argue that is the right time.

What if said coach is reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally bad at his job?

I agree we probably couldn't do much worse, but unless our coaches have been grooming someone else to do the job, it could get worse. Put "could" in italics because I doubt it, but at this point I don't think there is much utility to firing him before 12/29 unless we just want to feel better. Now if you tell me Lil Animal can coach some special teams, I will be onboard immediately.

Watching the output of STs makes me feel like I have been groomed.

You picked up not accidentally running a fake punt on the fly? I am pretty impressed

 

[DaiMonMoore]

Anybody else annoyed to see this thread at the top but realize he hasn't been fired?

Dead man walking, I think

Are we sure of that?

Are we sure of that?

Are you implying it may come down to a fake punt?

 

[BuckeyeNation27]

I've been lead to believe that few teams even have a dedicated ST coach. Why do we need one, when he's a detriment to the team? You don't need a coordinator to know how to punt or when to kick a FG. It's not like firing the LB coach.
