Ron Turner Fired by FIU

Thanks for the news. I called it last week here. So how many coaches have we gotten fired over the years? Sad in a sense for him since he engineered the upset last year at our place. It's tough being a coach, but even tougher getting a coaching job, I guess.
 
That a good firing. I mean FIU fan base has completely given up on that team and coach. They had a pretty large student tailgate but none of them went to the game.
This!! I was shocked. Tailgate full of thousands of fans and lots of talent.

Most by far never went in. A lot of them said "go UCF" or "are we playing UCF?" Many asked afterwards who won or what the score was. Too many fans too close to the stadium who simply didn't care about football as well.
 
Cristobel? But I would think FIU would want to win. Good luck to whoever gets that mess. From reports, discipline, attention, ability are all missing from FIU. "Babysitting" instead of coaching has been mentioned.

Yeah.., Cristobal. At this point, a one bowl game resume for that dumpster fire would be as good as they could ever hope for. By the way., he has been with Alabama since then if you didn't know

He was described as a Guru of coaching. Then it all fell apart. Remember when folks here were demanding he be hired at UCF?
 
Cristobal was fired because he wasn't making his kids go to classes. The same reason we fired Kruczek.

Doesn't seem to bother anybody that non-athletes don't go to class. In fact, streaming video course refuse attendance to most students. Athletes don't get to party, have two jobs (student and player). Instate students don't cost the program much because Florida tuition is only a small fraction of places like Michigan or Penn State. Anyway, 63,000 students must pay over $400/year in athletic fees (that's over $20 million), easily covering student costs, food, housing for all the teams.

Because nobody is relying upon them to make grades. Give a kids an athletic scholarship you are investing in them. If they become ineligible because of grades, your investment goes south.
