Mess fired! And Pope

[CyFan61]

Glad to see Rhoads move quickly.

I wonder when he made up his mind about doing this.

Messingham who?

 

[dualthreat]

Glad to see Rhoads evaluating the staff. I really hope they have a strong candidate in mind as a replacement. This hire could ultimately determine Rhoads fate as coach here!

You know I hadn't thought about Pope getting the hook, but given how our stable of running backs was seemingly so disjointed at times...it makes some sense. I still think Klenakis was doing more of the play-calling these past couple weeks and would like to see him get a shot, but if not him then at least we have something to speculate about for a little bit this offseason.

Probably weeks ago. Hopefully he's already got a short list and he's put out feelers.

I'm glad Rhoads didn't let the last two game influence his decision.

How about this guy? Another connection to Chris Ault and the pistol offense. No experience as an OC which is a huge negative, but familiarity with the offense we tried to run this year plus strong west coast recruiting ties.

Classy thing to do it soon after the last game so they have time to find jobs. And lets others out there know that he has openings on his staff so hot but under appreciated assistants can get their resumes together.

Ding dong the MESS is GONE!

FIFY

Is it ok now to make of him for having a girls name? If so... HAHA

 

[isufan03]

underrated point in my opinion. Glad CPR is a big picture guy and understands it's the body of work he needs to make his decisions on.

 

[Cytation]

Bliel would make the trifecta.

Won't be hired as OC. Not enough experience. Maybe he'll be looked at as a position coach.

Not sure why everyone on Bliel. I didn't think he was great with the O line in previous years, but hard to argue that the TE didn't get better this year. Did anyone see what a stud Bibbs was the second half? I am fine with him coaching TE's.

Wish it would have worked out for both, wish them both the best. Suprised to see Pope go....although now that I think of it, our RB's dance too much, never hit the hole fast enough and fumble too much. So maybe that was it.

Anyway, good luck to both.

How many fumbles did they have?

 

[chuckd4735]

Im surprised this happened so fast, surprised Mess wasn't just demoted, and somewhat shocked Pope got fired. Im glad CPR moved fast, and showed he has no loyalties to anybody when it comes to hos staff.

 

[Stormin]

Would have liked to have seen Bleil go instead of Pope, but at least they're trying something.

Someone today that I was talking to said that Bleil should probably be terminated as well.

great move for all , season tickets will go up!!!
