Yeah, who knows how Sonny could do in a different environment? He may get his chance, sooner than some of us think, as he goes thru the interview process. At any rate, we all know he's a great guy and wish him well, if he decides to accept an offer. He has had some HC interviews.

Maybe with you, but that sure was not my experience. 8 consecutive quarterly declines in net, you outa here.

You're a fan and I get that, but you dont understand college football.
Do we need some changes? Sure.
But you don't burn down the house because of a bad odor. You open the windows and throw out the old sandwich in the back of the fridge.
Go watch Last Chance U. National Championship one year, no playoffs the next year.
Same coaches, different players.
This was a down year in wins, but our Freshman play indicates a very good year in 2020.
Panic can kill a program.
Ask Pitt about losing CJD!

Or just ask a TCU fan about Billy Tubbs.

we were senior heavy in 2019 with fewer younger class men starting than years past. That argues that we will be worse in 2020.

I think the offense is the most prominent symptom of the problem for sure. I'm not at all convinced that the actual problem isn't programmatic. That said, in my experience, even if the root cause has little or nothing to do with a staff member or more, sometimes people have to leave the organization just to clear the deck for change.

I would disagree that we were senior heavy. There were times in the last month when we had 7 freshmen on the field on defense. We also return our leading tackler, best safety, and a 3 year starter on the DL. If Ross returns...... yikes. Offense will see some losses for sure but the heaviest will be along the OL that was already awful so not sure how bad those losses hurt us. And I think Barlow and Foster easily replace Sewo and DA.

Yeah, the safeties did pretty well this year and Glasgow did fine with the linebackers.
I can't blame Luper for going for a head coaching gig, even at UNM. Better than having Cumbie drag him down with him and the offense.

Unfortunately, I am bracing for the possibility of NO staff departures.
Hopefully we are just waiting for the early signing period... at which point we clean house while the recruits’ signatures are still wet.

Yes, I have worked at a company that has done worse multiple times and the common thread is almost all the perps are disciples of the same guy that started it. I’m sure many of you have multiple stories of your own flying on one of the worst airlines year after year.

Luper is not one of the finalists for the UNM job according to the latest reports.

Tough luck. He deserves better.

Interviewed for HC positions this year? Or just in general?

The same response may have been applicable had he gotten the job.
well said. That job is a coach killer, certainly not the place to perfect your skills. It would be his first and last HC job. Possibly a pay cut too.

They had to work out a new payment plan with Davie because they are so cash strapped. Doubt whoever gets that job will be paid as much as Luper is being paid now as an assistant.
Take it for what it’s worth but Sonny Dykes says this isn’t the case.
