LOL. Just shaking my head at how dumb our fans can be
I agree, our fans think that having one good year is cause to extend coaches: See Alan Major. You have to look at the overall product and the trend. I said it when Major was in year 5, I would have traded an NCAA berth to get rid of him. He wasnāt the guy.
Lambert has never had a winning season, heās 17-41 overall and 4-20 in CUSA play.
They would have fired Dean Smith and Coach K based on their early records.
Dean Smith was a winner from 2nd season on. Mike won at Armyā¦won immediately at Duke and was back to winning season 4.
Try again clown.

A10, I actually do agree with you that our fans are overly critical of Lambert, but I also think itās gonna take a really good year for him to stick around, especially with a new AD.
I enjoy a dissenting opinion from the usual around here, so Iām curious, in your eyes what gets Brad fired after this year? What keeps him around? What do you realistically see happening this year?
Iāll answer all three. I think if he bowls, he stays. Anything less is gonna be tough, especially taking recruiting into account.
I realistically see a 3-4 win season this year.
And yet the fans wanted to fire them, Mr Loose With The Insults. FUCK YOU!
" CONFERENCE USA ā The hot job that up-and-coming assistants are eyeing is Charlotte. The location and recruiting base should yield better than Brad Lambertās 7-29 record the past three seasons."
I think this argument is pointless, Lambert is not going to have a good year.

I think we agree on that, but trashing and insulting comments about Brad personally are more pointless unless one is an unrestrained and irrational prick .
Iām really confused why you keep saying people are insulting him personally. Iāve not seen people do this. They have talked about his coaching, his recruiting, and public speaking which are all part of his job. Everyone seems to think highly of him personally but just thinks heās over his head professionally.
Bunch of snowflakes.
I find the Coach K comparisons hilarious, every time they come up in every context. For every coach that lost for 3 or 4 or 5 years before becoming an amazing coach, there are hundreds who lost for 3 or 4 or 5 years and just sucked. Pretty simple. Simple minds have trouble grasping simple concepts though.

Best case scenario this season beat Fordham, Umass, WKU, and FIU. 4-8 doesnāt qualify for a bowl. Fire Lambert! Hopefully Hill can hire someone that is a nice guy and good at their job.
Iām think changing schemes on both sides of the ball is going to make things worse (for at least a year). The only think I can see saving Lambertās job is if we get surprisingly great QB play.
Nugget - Donāt go to the games then if youāre so sure that Lambert isnāt going to have a good year
I think if they win early and at least 6 games I think he deserves to stay. That said I donāt think Hill will keep him around because he wantās to bring in his guy. I donāt understand the negativity and everyone just bashing Lambert before the season even starts. I know last year was tough and not want ANYONE wanted but have some faith and believe in your team. If everyone wants him fired before the season even starts how can you truly go and support your team at gamesā¦

Because of the players on the field wearing the name on the jersey. I wonāt ever get so personally connected to a coach that my feelings about him as an individual trump my feelings for the University.
Edit: To be clear, Iām not accusing you of being so close to Brad that itās clouding your judgment. Iām just saying thatās how I can resolve the scenario in your post.
I think your assessment is spot on. If Brad gets us bowling, he needs to keep his job.
Since I have been going to Niner games for 41 years I am sure not going to let Brad Lambertās successāor lack thereofādetermine whether I go or not. I prefer to win, as I suspect he does, but neither of us seems to have what it takes to make that happen.
