Many herd fans can't seem to get past the '99 team. Many seem to think we should be Alabama. I have been only visiting herdnation etc just to see what latest "news" is, then I leave. One of the most toxic places to try to have a conversation. Many I respect on there, but it only takes a few to ruin it for everyone else.
We better be thankful we have Doc, he still has a few years left in him and made up a team to fear again during his time here, we didn't have that the entire Snyder era, many seem to forget that. Doc has also knocked off as many P5 programs as Pruett did, Purdue, Louisville, Maryland, lost a game the refs stole from us at VT. Pruett beat Clemson (6-6), SC (they were terrible), Temple (BE member, and a doormat). Beating BYU in the Motor City Bowl was about the same competition as beating NIU in the Boca Bowl. Dan took a little time but he has come along nicely, with home state recruits on top of that. Doc made these changes to satisfy the herd fanbase, so they better damn well come out and support this team next fall. With a home game against NC State, FAU, UTSA, its not half bad and not a reason to not come.
You really trying to compare Doc and Pruett? Doc couldn't hold
Pruetts jockstrap. You left off Pruetts wins against #6 big 12 vhamp kstate, losing to OSU on a last second field goal. Also beat Louisville a couple times. Doc blew the game at Virginia tech, by trying to sit on a lead like he always does, including not trying to score in OT, after VT didn't score in their opportunity, then we miss a field goal. 4 GW field goal misses, the last 2, doc pulled our kicker, who would have probably made at least 1 of them.
Doc is a mediocre head coach, and unfortunately, we are stuck with him until his contract expires.
And I don't know where you have been, but 95% of Herdfans love Dan.
Why not compare them, everyone else in herd fandom has. You guys act like we were undefeated every year under him and played in the toughest conference in D1, the MAC by far was not that, crap it was on par with the sunbelt during that time, we went 8-5 on year, 3 losses our first year in the MAC, one undefeated, and 2 losses two other times, Pruett also had the luxury of having high caliber talent waiting on him when he got here............Many many things are comparable, the only thing anyone can say is different is playing styles.
We can agree to disagree on Doc, like I said on my belief, we should be glad to have him, especially after the Snyder fubar.
Go to herdnation, you will see many that do not like him. Where have you been, one website? ok...
No one thinks Pruett was perfect, but he brought championships to Marshall. Doc has brought one championship, boring conservative games, and some of the most embarrassing losses in program history(6-60 vs WKU, 24-27 vs UNCC, 38-65 vs Akron, 24-41 Championship vs Rice(wasn't as competitive as final score), 17-54 vs UCF, 34-69 vs WVU(wasn't as competitive as final score), 7-44 vs Ohio).
Snyder was not a good coach, but his resume would be similar to Doc's if he played the same schedules.
