I am so happy the cats won today and that probably means RR with with us for another season or two. Doesn't mean that changes my opinion on his coaching, recruiting, and stubbornness.
There's no way on God's green earth you can fire RR now. And unless Tate's performance suddenly falls off a cliff, he's not going anywhere any time soon.Puerco wrote:Don't think we'll be able to shut it down till we beat a good team, which is absolutely possible if Tate stays healthy.
I've been pondering the question, 'If you could fire RichRod today, would you?' this morning, and I'm torn. On the bright side, it's a much more positive place than I where I was three weeks ago. On the other hand, part of me believe RichRod will never win a Rose Bowl here, so we might as well get the coaching crap shoot started earlier.
In all fairness, no UA FB coach has ever gotten the team to the Rose Bowl, much less win one.Puerco wrote: On the other hand, part of me believe RichRod will never win a Rose Bowl here

I'm not sure this thread is ready to die, but we can certainly put it on ice. Team goes 5-4 in P12 (7-5) overall, then this will have been a successful season where RR earned his money and his spot. Right now that is looking likely, but things can change on a dime. We get to win #7 in the regular season and this thread can die a sudden death.CalStateTempe wrote:EV, respectfully disagree with your post and LH'd nailed why.

Just out of curiosity, what does he have to do? Would going 6-6 and beating ASU and then winning whatever lesser bowl game we got at least give him a grace period with you? This year isn't over and we can still easily collapse and go back to being terrible and if that were to happen, I"ll jump on your bandwagon. I've said this before that another losing season and I'll lead the frenzied crowd to the castle gates myself. I just do not want to start over if we don't have to. I don't care that he flirted with another school, most coaches do that. My concern was his defense and if he had not taken extreme steps to correct that I would have been on your bandwagon already. So I'm asking, what in your mind would it take for you to change your mind. I would hope its something reasonable and sane.

Show he consistently beat LA schools. Show he can consistently beat ASU. Improve recruiting a ton. Act more professionally on the field. Stop losing games by 30+ points.tgrumpy2 wrote:ASUHATER! wrote:I've gone from about 100% fire RR to 90% fire RR.

And for the pro-RR crew to acknowledge that his collective tenure has been bad? I guess he'd have to get caught naked in a hotel room with a with a live boy or a dead girl.
I've stated it ad nauseum... I want winning conference record (5-4, 6-3) more often than not. And 4-5 in a bad season, not his 2nd-3rd best.
With our joke OOC scheduling overall record means nothing to me. Nor does a dogshit bowl. It would be akin to a MLB coach trying to get credit for pre-season wins.
Finishing this season with a better career conf winning % than Mike Stoops would be a good start. Looking a lot better right now than it was 9 days ago.
Of course we don't, but that's a good thing. Us haters being able to say, 'I told you so,' would imply it's been a miserable season. But hey, if you think earning a couple of wins against two teams who have one conference win to split between them is a huge accomplishment, then your expectations must've been even lower than mine.whatisee wrote:The haters don’t know what to do at this point
They also appear to all be in the past. That's why I posted some people want RR to go undefeated this year to retain his job. Just wanting him gone due to the past, well, that ship has sailed.ASUHATER! wrote:Consistency. My points are all extremely concrete and easy to understand. To keep your job as a football coach you have to recruit, beat your rivals, generally win, don't get embarrassed and don't embarrass the program. And RR has more or less failed extraordinarily on all of those things since November of 2014.
I wonder if going 6-6 over the next couple years, thanks in large part to Tate and therefore saving RR's job during those couple of years, doesn't end up doing more harm than good. Sure we won some extra ball games but if RR's goign to keep having the issues he's had the last few years and they're just masked by having Tate, isn't it a complete waste of one hell of an electric player's potential?azcat49 wrote:The problems are still there, just masked by Tate.

It is fun though to look at our team and say we can win any game on our schedule now. That feeling of anticipation is back. I guess it shows how important having the right QB is in RR's system
Exactly. It's a deep grave he has to dig out of to earn his job back.SirClinks wrote:I'm very happy that the team is playing well and are fun to watch but I'm not going to crown RR king of UA football.
Conversely, could it not be argued that the team is adequate, not great, not terrible, but adequate, and all it lacked to win these games was a good qb? Face it, Dawkins was really bad. Basically, his shitty play lost two games for us. Had he continued, I am confident we would have lost the last two games as well.azcat49 wrote:The problems are still there, just masked by Tate.

I feel like Dawkins is one hell of a backup QB. I know we tend to, as fanbases, hate young men because they aren't as good as we want them to be, but Dawkins is capable, and has the mentality of a great backup. He isn't phased by sudden change of play, and has a tendency to play really well when called upon in relief.Merkin wrote:Has any UA QB gone injury free for a season in the RichRod era? Perhaps BJ Denker?
Once Tate gets hurt, this will be the entire city of Tucson.
If you did you could be hurt really badly, because if our "great backup QB" ever takes the field (again) you would be f***ed. Season over.scumdevils86 wrote:I want to live in EVcats world haha.
I would agree with this post. We should be 6-0.

Love the doom and gloom. What are Tate's stats? KT looked perfectly healthy walking off the field after that curb stomping he dished out to the ruins. The "if" and "when" he gets hurt crap speaks to the doomsday world a lot of you choose to live in. The fact that this fire Rich Rod thread still has legs after a great win speaks to how many of you want the Cats to fail. Please explain to me how you want to shitcan Rich, but you would also be thrilled if by chance, the Cats win out?scumdevils86 wrote:Yeah I didn't realize that a 56% completion rate for 13 TD (3 of which came against awful UTEP) and 9 INT in the last 15 games was considered "Good".

He lost his job at Arizona so he would not have been the starter and he was the starter at Baylor until he was benched for his play again.Merkin wrote:Rather be on the bench at Baylor than starting for RichRod.scumdevils86 wrote:uuuhhhh have you seen qbs under rich rod here? they all eventually get hurt. usually to the point that they can't function anymore. love tate. i just hope he can last.
