Temple Football Forever 
They should take “flame-thrower” to it. Those th
Does it really matter how hot Drayton’s seat is? Temple isn’t going to bail on 2 multi-million dollar contracts in a row. He’ll get another year at least with similar results and the BOT and AD will be as happy and uncaring as usual – why? is anybody’s guess…..
The outside world looks at Temple’s situation and judges it like any other school would. Why keep a guy who finished 3-9 two years in a row? Why keep a guy who regressed in Year Two–the exact year that progress needed to be shown–from Year One, which should be the only year he gets a pass. The portal has changed the game. Should have done the work in the offseason and he sat on his hands.
Hey I’m listening , can I hear the fat lady singing in the stands ?
Is it near time to say : ‘ stick a done in them, they’re forked ‘ ?
Talk about no joy after those winning years… Oh what could have been.
“What could have been” didn’t happen because of unbelievably bad decisions by the BOT and AD. No oversight, spending out the ass, ridiculous guaranteed contracts, simply no caring about even mediocre success…
Worst turnover ratio in FBS college football in 25 years is the direct result of a TERRIBLE defensive coordinator (or, TURR-IB-BELL as Charles Barkley would say). He sits back and lets every offense attack him rather than attack an offense with blitzes that would cause QB fumbles in the backfield and forced interceptions. Will say one thing about Geoff Collins: Although he never delivered the Mayhem he promised, he attacked the other quarterback.
Yep
Yes. NorFUCK State this year and Tulsa in the Collins Era.
