The "quality " of our SEC wins.

    Just did some figurin:

    The last 4 teams we beat had a combined 6-26 SEC record.
    Those 6 wins were all against each other. (Somebody had to win those games.)
    Counting Georgia (who beat powerhouse Auburn) the teams we beat won one SEC game to a team not named South Carolina, Kentucky, Missouri, or Vanderbilt.

    Dude on VN got me looking. Asked if we Negavols were on "suicide watch." Because apparently we want the team to suck (nope) but yet they have defied our expectations (and nope).

    This is the most damning thing I've ever read about this season.

    I've grown to accept the fact that he's gonna be around next year after honestly believing he should have been fired early on. But now we are rewarding him with more money... It's baffling.

    I knew those teams were bad, but that just hammers the point home. Dooley could have beaten up on the back end of this schedule. And with the Kirby Smart hire having about a 50/50 chance of success, South Carolina reverting to their old form, and Kentucky and Vanderbilt sucking again, Florida will be back to the only real competition for the East unless Missouri makes a good hire. It's a great time to be a mediocre coach who recruits well. Just ask Butch.

    Have not even looked at next year's schedule, but when we go 8-4 (or worse) again --- including a loss to Fuente and Tech (I think that's next year) -- MAYBE these idiots will finally understand we've got Ron Zook jr. at the helm.

    I just don't know what it's going to take to break through to these people.

    But by god, we're stuck with this ****er for at least 2 or 3 more years... probably 4. And when we lose to Florida and bama for the next 2, 3, 4 years, maybe he'll get fired.

    This man is incapable of winning 9 games during the regular season. Flat incapable.

    Barring some sort of major collapse, he was always going to be around next year.

    Yeah... He could have been photographed and video'd popping Mack Crowder in the pooper while wearing a Village People Indian getup and singing the Alabama fight song and he'd STILL have a job.

    Always remember this about B#tch: Dooley beat him.

    I'll give him .5 over UGA this year, so 1.5.

    I considered that, but that team was really bad.

    He gets .5 for the "name win" and beating one of the big three on the schedule, not because they were any great team in 15.

    That's one more than I can recall... The UGa win this year doesn't really qualify and none of the Sakerlina wins do either, imo....

    2013 USCjr game was a quality win.

    And he has North to thank for it. 2014 was Spurrier saying "**** it, I want to go golf." 2015 was a horrible squad that we barely beat.

    Yep. The guy is 1-8 vs. big three. With that sample size, I think you can chalk this UGA win up to their being bad much more than B#tch being good.

    The fact that they were "up" is a function of the SEC East being down. USC will regress to their Brad Scott mean.

    I'm not completely sure I buy into that. If they make the right hire (read:NOT Will Muschump) they could remain at least competitive. The East is so bad it's almost anybody's to win. Kentucky and Vandy can fuggedabouddit but any other school has a legit shot if things fall right.
