1. Fire Ruin Silverfield
2. Use the outside search firm again
3. Do not let the University staff be in charge of the hiring process
4. Do not make an emotional hire (get rid of our own Matt Luke)
5. Find a coach that will sell the program rather than be in hiding
6. That will yield positive results

Other ways to fix the problem:

1. Do not make Arkansas State's offense look like Alabama, almost blowing a 28 point lead
2. Do not blow a 21 point lead to a CUSA team
3. Do not blow a 17 point lead and lose to a 1 win team on the road (Temple)
4. Do not lose at mediocre Tulsa
4A. Do not send your Freshman kicker out onto the field to attempt his first ever collegiate FG, fresh off a broken foot, from 58 yards, in swirling winds
4B. It does not take an experienced coach or a coach of any sort to understand how 4A will turn out
4C. Do not go for it on 4th down from the 11 yard line when you can take the lead (and already tried to kick 3 FG's)
5. Do not practice all week with limited reps for your starting QB at UCF
5A. Do not punt from your own 30 yard line, to net 10 yards, when points are at a premium on the first drive, setting the tone for the game
5B. Allow Brandon Thomas to have more than 5 carries - don't blame him for transferring if he chooses to
6. Do not mismanage the clock/game/everything to blow another game (ECU)
6A. Do not lose to ECU at home
6B. Do not lose to ECU ever in present time
7. Too much to list for our hapless performance at Houston
7A. Do not wear a turtleneck when it's 57 degrees outside underneath a long sleeve shirt
8. Do not lose to Tulane at home
9. As a result of 1 through 8, see #1 at the very top

To make it a little more simplified. This guy ^ wanted Freeze.

Look at #8. The game has not been played yet and he has us already losing.

Wonder if he was the same jerk that was the student publisher of The Daily Helmsman in the early 80s?

Wrote an article about how the basketball team would revenge the football losses against a list of teams and listed them all.

The only problem was one of the games had not been played yet and I visited their office and gave them a piece of my mind.
