When will enough be enough for Willingham?

… Ty feels a commitment to see through the sinking of the ship as its captain. He committed this much to the kids. I don’t see how he would go back on that. This is how he sees himself and how he conducts himself.

In terms of what is “better for the program”, I don’t get your point. They are going to get pounded whether or not Ty is the coach. I don’t see how replacing him with another coach from the staff who is also a lame duck changes anything. If “L’s” are the reason that the coaching search gets hindered, as you suggest, nothing changes under Tormey or Lappano.

My point is the staff has quit on the kids, and each other. The kids have quit on the head coach.

Naming the right assistant as interim coach would spark the team.

It isn’t like we are playing for draft choices.

and the tumor grows bigger every week.

Normally the tumor is removed as soon as possible. I understand about sticking with the kids.

On second thought, by letting Ty finish out the season, maybe Emmert and Woodward are paying Ty back for the BS that he’s put them through. Leaving him in place diminishes his St Ty mantle while a side effect is demoralizing the players even further. Ty won’t get the chance to destroy another D-1 FB program with his failed philosophy and that’s the only good that comes from this.

Steve Kelley expoused that same point.

Why let anyone but Tyrone take these beatings.

John, yes, I agree that Ty has quit on the program and he’s taking every opportunity possible to get his digs in at the school through every available media venue. I also believe that the kids quit on him after the BYU game and Ty should have been fired after the Oklahoma debacle. However, this program is so far gone that nothing positive is going to come from any mid-season changes. Why put an interim into this mess, or worse, why start a new coach in the midst of this fiasco. Let it go on Tyrone’s record. The man should never again coach at a D-1 school, and every AD ought to look at how he handles himself over the next four games. It’s only going to get worse, and Ty needs to own it.

I can see your point of view and can make an argument either way.

I think Tyrone is pure poison.

The question is how much damage can he do over th enext few weeks that will continue to impact the future?

and let willingham fry his own ass.

If the guy was smart he would have left last year with some shred of decency….He will never be a head coach again.

I guess it is kinda like a torcher for willingham, its as if someone was holding the lever to turn off the “electric chair” right in front of him he is just to stupid proud to stop it.

It’s never pleasant watching somebody’s career go up in flames but it has been completely by his own hand.

tell him to stay the hell away from my favorite teams.

Willingham won’t recover from this, unless you consider working in the North Dakota prison league recovered. The only D1 AD that would be dumb enough to hire him is Todd Turner.
