Why RV Must Go Too

[Side Show Joe]

No self respecting coach would take a job and work for an AD that would fire him in the locker room right after a horrible loss.

Plus, having two interim head coaches is just stupid.

No self respecting coach would take a job and work for an AD that would fire him in the locker room in front of his players.

Did THAT actually happen? If so, it is the most classless way to dismiss a coach I have ever heard of.  That alone is enough to drop the ax on RV. Mac has his faults but he did not deserve that!

[Side Show Joe]

It's what is being reported.

[NotTodayUniversity]

I wouldn't doubt it.  RV has always been classless.  It's time for him to go!!!

Who is reporting that?

[Harry]

This did not happen.  Please stop spreading this rumor.  I just watched the Mac interview and HE said Eric Capper and Hank Dickenson came to him and said RV needed to speak to him in person.  This was handled one on one.

Football Scoope was reporting it. I'm glad it isn't true. I'll adjust my original post.

How great it would be if RV was instructed by his superiors to fire the guy he hired and who ultimately destroyed the football program and then after RV fires MAC, RV's superiors fire him. How sweet it would be.

It would almost make this historic loss worth while.

He fired him in his office. What's the difference? It could've waited I guess, but who cares? If you know he's gone, save us the bs talk and get to it. He should be fired because he can't be entrusted to hire another coach.

In addition to his hires, I don't think RV has the passion to be here anymore. When is the last time he came on GMG? Or go talk to Talons during the Bonfire Build, or o speak to other organizations? 

I just don't think his heart is here anymore.

Still, speaking as an outsider looking in, I can't think of anything more humiliating to a coach to be called into the AD's office after a big loss and fired.  I know it wasn't done in front of the players, but you know that in this age of social media, they knew about it almost as soon as it happened.

Agree it did not happen in front of the players but getting summoned is never a good thing in this kind of situation. Plus they may have already heard the rumors swirling around tailgate via social media so that kind of math is pretty simple.

Much more humiliating would be called into the AD's office and fired without the $3m part.

My idea of a perfect RV firing would be over a candlelit dinner at Jimmy John's.

[greenit]

This ain't show friends.

[Got5onIt]

RV could have walked in the locker room with a clown suit and gong and it wasn't as embarrassing as what we saw on the field Saturday. 66-7 is pathetic....

My guess is that RV is a place holder at this time, with a search going on for his successor.  I doubt he will have anything significant to do with the hiring of the new football HC.  

[Rudy]

Hopefully even IF RV is conducting the search for a new head coach, nothing will get approved without the president's sign off.

I really hope you are right. While the Mac firing seems like a big deal because we don't really do that in the past, it really wasn't. Something had to happen. It was too obvious. Doing nothing would have been more surprising.

[KingDL1]

RV has had to fire the last three head coaches in a row mid-season. That in itself should tell us something. We need them being hired away because then we would be doing something right.
