Game over. Season over. Aranda era over.

This is the end ... beautiful friend.

Unfortunately, I don't think your last point will pan out. Agree with the prior two though!

This may be one of the poorest performances by Aranda in years. He deserves to be gone.

Fire Dave now. Walk down on the damn field, ask for the head gear and send him away. Contact Art Briles and have him announce on October 20th that he is back.

Win or lose everyone has given up on Aranda. Just looks at the stands! Mack's job should also be in question at this point.

You don't understand we don't have the money to pay his buyout . And if we lose this game, reduces his marketability to go elsewhere.

If this is good guy Dave saving him for a potential NFL future I vehemently disagree. Sawyer is here to play football for BAYLOR ... and getting paid to do so. Man TF up!

It's over. This crowd was a vote of no confidence.

And we responded by losing yet another important home game.

Our crowds are about to look like the Kevin Steele era, and the one language Mack speaks is money. Impacting revenue is the one unforgivable sin.

Knowing the way this game has gone, starting a Doors quote thread would be a viable distraction.

Fire him and still pay him. Have an assistant take over. He is digging larger hole but running the team.

Fire Mack. There is plenty of $$$ to pay for the interim.

To that person's credit, they know the stakes if he goes down...

Are there any portal or buyout implications of doing it now vs waiting till the end of the season?

Nonsense.

fire Mack & Aranda, pull historical FB BMDs into the hiring process, 20-30 million $ flows in immediately.
many of the BMDs simply refuse to donate under the current alignment.

That would be great. We would win so much, we would actually get sick of winning and probably need to lose a game once in a while just to keep us humble.

Not putting money on it, but odds are Sawyer leads the team to victory. He's a leader and the best QB we've had in a decade. Still this K state team is really weak.

Sawyer is not clutch
The D is a joke
The team has no fire
