KEEP JODY SEARS!!

[ajwildcat]

Yeah I know this isn't the popular opinion among most of the fan board people on here but quite frankly I don't give a damn. Let's look at this objectively. Sears hasn't been given a snowball's chance in hell here to be successful. John L left this program a complete disaster, ran off a huge number of highly talented players and then skipped town himself. Sears was left to try to keep this thing going. Give him more than 1 recruiting class and a schedule that isn't one of the toughest in the nation.
Maybe let him have a roster that has more than a handful of juniors and seniors.
Maybe let them play more than 5 home games in a 12 game season.
Let him use that beautiful new indoor facility to bring in his type of players.
Keep this coaching staff intact and lets see what happens in another season or 2.
GO WILDCATS!!!! :rockon: :rockon: :rockon:

I totally agree. Sears was put into an impossible situation. I really believe that he can get the job done, and with the backing of the University and us as fans, he will be able to succeed. I really hope we can keep the coaching staff all together for the next 2 years. I think that with this new facility, the QBs, Receivers, and DB will be able to put in a lot more practice and improve just that much more. What the program really needs is stability.

Rumor has it that the MSU fans hope that we are patient with our current coach and his staff. And not because they beat us. Many of them have Weber as their second favorite team in the conference. :nod:

As much as it pains me to see WSU football down on their luck, I have to agree that Sears SHOULD BE retained. Hitting the re-set button yet again is NOT the answer. Give Sears a chance and let's get behind this program and this staff.

WSU hasn't beat Montana St in football since 2008. Can't hardly blame that on this current coaching staff. :twocents:

 

[Bengals]

Agree, as long as this staff continues to do the right things with academics and holding their players accountable they deserve a chance to develop "their" players. It is always easy to just say get rid of the Head Coach, but in most cases it is far more then just the Head Coach. It takes many; Coaches, Players, Administration, Boosters, and Fans to help turn a program around (or ruin a program). I know for a fact that this staff is working very hard at recruiting the right type of kids to grow this program. They are not looking for short cuts by taking chances on too many "at-risk" kids. This staff should be evaluated on the growth of this program over the next 3 seasons, if by then they are not competing in the top half of the Big Sky and they have been given similar support (Recruiting Budget, Coaching Salaries, etc..) as the rest of the Big Sky then it may be time to go a different direction.

I like Sears as a coach but how do we lose to Sac St. on homecoming and how do we drop a goose egg at Cal Poly? The truth is the team has the talent to be competitive, but a lot of it does come down to QB play. Win 2 of the remaining games and be competitive in the rest and I would be ok with him staying. We can get some pretty good crowds for FCS and we have the facilities, but we need to show recruits we are competitive these last few games.

Go Weber!

 

[weberwildcat]

the program was put in a real bad postion when having had 3 head coaches in a yr span. last yr we won 2 games. this yr we have 1 win so far. next yr we have just 1 fbs. its honestly never a good thing to can a coach after just 2 seasons unless your notre dame.

and lets not forget historically we aren't montana or boise or idaho. before the mac era we were happy to see 4-4 in big sky. of course we are supposed to be building on mac's momentum but we took a step back with all that coaching nonsense.

what mac has done regarding facilities improvements since 2005 will help in the long run. i dont see wsu canning our coach so i will be optimistic for next yr. i just hope we can find a win or 2 somehow before this yr ends.

above shows 10 games so far, 6 away, so we need one more home game. based on what i see there is hope. an improved team next yr combined with a weaker schedule, any schedule is weaker than 2013's. unc is back on there at the end with isu. so winning 2 games yr 1, 1-2 games yr 2, then 5 wins yr 3 would be improvement. i would add a non DI since we look to be a few yrs away from even saying the word playoffs.

i woudl think for any coach its gonna take 3 yrs to bring in your own guys to start turning things around.

I agree. I don't think you can ax a new head coach of any college sports program after just two seasons. And in Jody's case, he's only really recruited one class after inheriting John L's fiasco. It's just like a house party. It only takes a few hours to trash a joint, but it takes a hell of a lot longer to clean up the mess. Yes, this team is awful, and maybe even the worst in WSU history, but you can't pin that all on Sears. Give him one more year to see what he makes of two recruiting classes and hopefully we'll see improvement on the field next season.

And we haven't beaten them at home since like 96 :doh:


Having said that the Bobcats are my second favorite team.

+2 after looking at everything thats happened I agree too. Gotta stay the course and give him more time.

Catcat Weber plays.@ SFA next September. I dont know the date. We need a home game somewhere. We need more home games damnit!!

 

[PurpleBlood]

I think the players need to decide if they want to keep him around. If we don't show up these last four games we have to start looking for the next Gary Anderson or Ron Mcbride.

 

[Wildcat_Fan]

Do you think it is a concern that the players know if Sears doesn't win 3 or 4 games (whatever is in his contract) he can be let go? Would some players that would rather have him leave give a half a$$ effort so that he will be let go. I dont know if we have any kids like that but it could be a possibility. Ive seen some real poor effort in some games.

The coaching staff should know player's ability well enough to know if one is tanking it. If they suspected it I can't fathom why they wouldn't be yanked immediately. Also, I can't imagine players risking scholarships doing something like that, however, I suppose it might happen occasionally. Seriously, though, there is no room for these players to not give their best effort every time they step on the field and should be yanked and/or sent packing if they can't. I have questioned effort on the field before, though, and more than once.

After watching Eastern put a pretty good thumping on a very sound Griz team in Missoula, it seems Weber is light-years away from being a threat in the BSC. Assuming Sears is retained, he needs to put a respectable team on the field NEXT year. This season has been just dismal.

I can't imagine a whole team mailing it in like that. There will always be a knucklehead or two, but I find that scenario unlikely as well. Why would a player purposely put bad play on film just to get someone fired. Even if it worked, the new coach would see the film and think "this kid can't cut" and replace him.

That's would be like me saying, "I'm going to suck at my job until my boss gets fired." Besides, I have not heard any Grambling State type talk up to this point.

Thursday I went to subway by campus. I saw 2 WSU coaches there. One was an assistant basketball coach. He was polite and said hello. He was wearing WSU attire. The other coach did not respond when I said hello and was wearing a red university of Wisconsin sweatshirt. Why would the head football coach wear anything but Weber attire during the season? :thumbdown:

Clearly you aren't good at identifying our coaches...the football team left Thursday evening via bus to Montana. So the man you are criticizing for wearing another school's apparel was NOT our head football coach!

In addition, wouldn't the bball coaches be in or on their way to Colorado?
