Fuck... I was thinking the exact same thing. And to that point, TC was so effing pissed off after losing that Miami game. We were freaking 4-7 and almost beat the #1 soon-to-be national champ on the last play of the game. And TC was ripshit. That’s what you want. A guy who always wants to win and is dying to get back at it after a loss.
Look. I’ve always liked Hafley. You can see my posts when he was an assistant at Pitt. But, I don’t think he’s as magical as Coughlin. That said, I do think we are being coached by a guy who will be an NFL head coach one day.
I do think though Hafley is a new version of Coughlin for BC in that, I don't think he will be here very long (though like TC will only leave for the right job when the timing is right) but we are going to be treated to some very exciting football while he is here.
Once he takes BC to our first 10-win season in what will by then probably be almost two decades, he will get tapped for the next job.
I hope you are right Murt. Dazzler started his coaching career at BC 2-1 as well so
This is a really tough year for any first year head coach. His players are just mediocre and we have Covid-19. That is why I wasn't asking for much and I say he gets a pass no matter how many games this team loses. When he starts playing with his own recruits we may have a better way to gauge how good a coaching prospect he is.
Weren't you in attendance for "Dazzler's" first loss? I would think if you attended that game you would have noticed a major distinction between the USC game from 2013 and the UNC game in 2020 if comparing first losses. Just a thought.
Yes, I was there for Dazzler's first loss EVER as a BC head coach. I got to Compton around 8AM, parked just off the MLK exit ramp, and I was talking with Chase Rettig's and Alex Amidon's parents by 9:30 AM. Yes there is a major distinction between the USC game in 2013 and the UNC game of 2020. BC was in the game the whole time vs UNC and the only good thing about the 2013 game vs USC (a game they were never in) was BC's punter. Addazio's game day coaching in California was just meh. That said, the 2014 USC team was a significantly STRONGER team than the 2013 USC team (Kessler was a much better QB a year later.) And BC didn't have Rettig or Amidon on the 2014 team when Addazio beat them with 3 true frosh tailbacks. And no, Addazio's coaching ability didn't get all that much better from 2013 to 2014. Or did it? You tell me caddy, you are the maroon name.
Look, both coaches started their seasons in their first year at 2-1. Those are the data points we have. Wins and losses are what matter. Addazio was fired not because he was a shitty person but simply because he didn't win enough games. But I think its a bit silly to try and compare BC losing on the road in California to USC vs BC losing at home to UNC. The 2013 USC team and the 2020 UNC team are nothing alike, apples and oranges (or if you like, "distinctions.") We have no idea what would have happened if Halfley was coaching BC in 2013 vs USC. My point was their records were the same.
Just a thought.
