He has 24 program wins over 5 years.

12 of them were in one year.

He has average of 3 wins per season if you take out the Sugar bowl year. That year was clearly a one off.

He is really the second coming of Phil Steele.




One really good year at Baylor wins you nine lives. Also, Mack does not view Dave as an employee, he views him as a BFF. This off-season will be interesting. I feel that Mack would love to jump ship to a different conference or find some sort of commissioner job. I think when he's finally forced to fire Dave, he also hits the road. Maybe that's wishful thinking

Talent evaluation. This staff has zero ****ing clue how to identify talent. That's been the case for 5 years now.


Huge issue. This along with Dave's meek style are the two biggest issues with the program. Every single team has multiple nothing recruits that turn into great players. Hasn't happened for this team in years.

Dave called a time out right before we made a first down. Uggg...

And of course we don't make the first down after the time out.


I think it was just about to be a delay of game because penalty flags came out… I don't think he had a choice. Still sucks to see our chance of a first down go up in flames.

Worse than Steele. CDA took a top program with resources to the bottom of the B12.

The next coach HAS to have an edge to him. Dave's team have taken on his personality and we're seeing the results.

These guys know so much particularly about our history that they will tell you he was the coach between Dale Rogers and Chuck Morriss.

Notice than when the Bears runs a interior running play and goes to make it appear that Finn still has the ball, he stands back there like a statue, not moving instead of making it seem that he has the ball? . Utah LBs are seeing that and filling the gaps quickly. He doesn't appear to have some basic football smarts that most of us learned in Jr or High school.

It's so weird how our downfall happened around the time players started tweeting out "pay us."

I'm actually looking forward to the new threads this week about who as posters want as the next HC. That thread will be more entertaining than this entire season

And sadly, the defense has outplayed the offense by orders of magnitude.

Stop with this Mack going to another job nonsense.

The SEC or Big 10 commissioner jobs ain't opening.

If he wanted another AD job his alma mater job was open last year and his parents live there.

Defense is only poor.

Offense is D2 level. Not even good FCS.

Probably wishful thinking on my part. He makes millions at Baylor and has very modest expectations for results on the field

I can't use enough four letter/blue words to express my anger when that damn t-shirt came out. I hope the conference rubs his damn nose in it. Behlur just Sucks!

Well we can finally put to rest this garbage that Dave is some sort of defensive whisperer. Maybe he shouldn't have fired Ron Roberts

I wanted Traylor last season and I want Traylor now. He's the no-brainer IMO.

Sorry I messed up the first name.

Does it matter? Kevin Steele, Phil Steele.

We are bad and we are back in the same spot we were with whatever Steele.

Stage is too big for Finn.

Move on to Robertson and see if he is the answer for next year.
