If we don’t get it done, we go the search committee route. We need offensive coordinators again. We will have a good QB if Henigan stays healthy - he will only get better and probably bigger.

I agree. Who was the last coach Memphis had that was fired with a winning record…. I will wait for a response

Well by all means let's wait until we lose a bunch of games before we figure it out

We will run out of money with your philosophy. Every game we lose with a 4th string Qb or just lose-We fire the coach . Winning makes the fans happy but wait till penny loses a few games and hear chirping from the so call experts

Forget the QB injures & think about not being able to kick field goal, where even extra pts are an adventure, going for it on 4th down in your own territory running plays that haven't worked the whole game, repeated TOs, a defense that has not stopped a pass completion all season over the middle, losing games after leading by 21 & 17 pts.....Not traits of great coaching. That said, I don't think RS' job is in jeopardy this year but if he values his job he will get some new coordinators. And BTW, hold an on campus competition for a place kicker, anything is better than what we are seeing.

Our kicking game has just killed us. We’ve been blessed with great kickers. It’s really hard to watch. A good kicker and we’re at least 6-2.

He's gotta figure out what winning football is about. Waiting an hour before kickoff to figure out a kid won't play is absolute B.S. !!!

Opie last Memphis coach that took a team to the dance so his recruits helped.

Agreed. According to 247Sports, Silverfield had the 47th best recruiting class in the country in 2021 (2021 Football Team Rankings). So far this year, we are 69th. With two years of head coaching experience under his belt by next year and two healthy stud quarterbacks, Silverfield should be poised to at least make us bowl eligible. For this year, I will forgive some of the bone-headed moves on his part and chalk it up to the learning curve he is in and wait until the end of next season before passing judgment on his future.

Were you wanting to ship norvell out when he went 8-4 and getting blown out. Our defense has been since tommy was there but we just outscored teams. As you forget the Qb injuries, you should know the kicker is injured.
TO’s….. part of the game and RS teams is not the first Memphis team to commit TO’s.
New coaches. He was sent scrambling in the summer looking for coaches bc they were poached before the season started. MM defense is something to be desired but he had 4 and 5 men on the line yesterday and held ucf less than 300 yds . 3 TO’s by a first year qb and a fumble by our best player trying make something happen doesn’t go on the coach.

Lol. I wasn’t on the field nor do I think you were. Maybe right before the game Seth didn’t feel comfortable….

I’m simply saying our poor FG kicking (and XP) has cost us games. Not blaming anyone.

But, in the end, one person is ultimately responsible for wins or losses.

You are right but tiger fans are ready to jump off a bridge. Hell I sit thru the pouring rain to watch utm beat us bc fuente made some bad decisions.but hey, he turned out and learned … maybe RS can if not DEUCES….

You are spot on Tpaw.

Right again!!

Every team has injuries at this point. This is just an excuse for poor preparation. I hope Silverfield turns it around but we will likely under achieve throughout his tenure. Our team is soft. Penalties and turnovers are an indicator.

Was our game plan last night to have a backup QB who is a running threat throw the ball 50x? Really? Against a defense weak vs. the run? Sorry, I just don't see us heading in the right direction until some changes are made.

Who and what that looks like idk, but right now we are a very weak and soft team. Offensively, defensively and our special teams are all soft.

Parrish did a great job last night but our game plan was terrible. Who comes up with those things anyway? Throw the ball 50 times with a brand new QB whose strength is the option versus a defense ranked somewhere in the bottom fifth nationally against the run?

Really? We are 3 plays from being 1-7 right now.

He’ll get another year, and I hope he does great. I also hope he can finish up strong this year.

I admittedly have my doubts, but I also think we’re so close to being 7-1. Maybe 8-0 if Henigan was healthy. It’s a steep learning curve, I hope he can get if figured out.

Replying directly to your comment, 1) I never suggested Norvell out, ever, 2) previous coaches have nothing to do with present defense, 3) I noted we had reasons for criticizing RS apart from the QB injures but will correct the record here. SH won the QB outright according to the coaches & media over Gunnell, he was not the 2nd string QB. But for certain, PP should never have been called upon to pass near 50 times given his passing skills - clearly a coaching decision, 4) our place kicker couldn't kick when coaches said he was ready & healthy, 5) RS' scrambling for coaches demonstrates the lack of loyalty he has among his staff, 6) UCF has lost 4 games & has shown little offense all year after losing their QB, 7) consistent TOs from game to game are always a reflection on the coaching staff..... quit making excuses & face reality. Like I said RS' job probably isn't in jeopardy this year but if he goes into next season with the same staff, it will likely be his last.

Its no wonder Memphis has sucked for the majority of the last 50 years.

Good god

And dont quote me that weenie Calkings about who he thinks should be coach.

Frick it.

Losers gonna lose

Just sit back, enjoy the easy parking, cheap tickets and lower your expectations.

Bend over for the City.

That's Tiger football tradition.

Dammit

Not much on Silverfield.

The Pastner comparisons were premature but may not be off base.

Time will tell but the clock is ticking

I was making a point about norvell bc he lost several in a row and was blown out, I don’t think norvell beat ucf…. RS did….
3) if you watched the game ucf was cramming 8 guys up on the ball. Running wouldn’t have worked….if we would have ran the ball and got stuffed… same people would have complained let PP throw it as they did last week. Now we know why he didn’t throw.
5) if at your job, a big company said come with us. Do the same job and make more money… would you go or stay loyal making minimum wage…
6) 4 turnovers will do it for u… look at the red zone debacles. PP had no clue. He is worst than Milton at UT.
7) have you ever coached or played.. turnovers happen… guess it was RS fault that Austin fumbled the ball

Not making excuses but know the game

I bleed tiger blue but just because we were successful for the past 7 years, fans think we are an elite team.

True losers gonna lose but whiners gonna whine.

Since you have all the answers and assume the money… we have to buy out RS and if we get a head coach from somewhere , we have to buy him out… who is forking the money.

You are making the tiger football tradition like we have been a powerhouse.
