the OP spanked alot of fanboys in this thread
Ash will get us Smashed
- Thread starter Plum Street
- Start date
I said 5yrs ago, college football is a about points.
9 times out of 10 your HC better be an offensive guy. His OCs can come and go, and your HC is still there.
A defensive HC? Every 2 to 3yrs you're bringing in a guy who will do it "his way."
9 times out of 10, never a good formula.

many people owe you an apology
A lot. I would rather be wrong and us wining and people running my nose in it.
But I have been consistent in my thoughts on ash and the direction of This program
Enjoy it Plum. You took your lumps but stayed true to your premise and were right all along.
Oh yeah and the 25 others that liked your post .
I was all set to give Ash all the time he needed, but when I looked at how bad Mehringer was. I started to second guess
how can anyone be so bad to hire Mehringer. Well it looks like I got my answer, I hope not, but maybe.
The only thing a I can say is that all you had to do was look at how RU ran up and down the field against Arkansas, when CA was the DC, to realize that he was not a good coach. Plum saw this and most did not.
Sad thing , is plum saw this and I don’t get paid to do this stuff .
Hobbs didn’t even watch that game
This threads show how the mods played favorites. some responses are such low class. this isnt the ce board
So weird .went to like this post and it turns out I had already liked it.
Some of us always saw it...
Unless I missed it, what I find most amazing is I did not rip on your OP back in 2015. Maye I did with your Flood is a dud. At some point, we kissed and made up on this board. The Flood thing I give you less credit for, because many here recognized Flood as some type of desperation hire after Cristobal turned RU down and Pernetti wanted to save the recruiting class.
And the same way you bumped this thread and are now rubbing peoples' noses in it, that could have been done with you Flood is a dud post when Flood started 7-0. Heck, even after the WTF loss to Kent State, he knocked of a Cincinnati team that ended the season 10-3 (yeah, he lost to Pitt and Louisville and that dreadful Va Tech bowl game, but 9-4 was not a bad start for a "dud"--and don't want to hear about it was all Greg's players. )
That's the one aspect of this that I will criticize you on this. Even a broken clock is "right" twice a day. So what. Coaching selection is an inexact science, and at best a 50/50 proposition, except at RU, where it is wrong most of the time.
We have kissed and made up. I was right on flood and right on ash. You want to point to a portion of a season 6 years ago? Then I will point to ensuing 6 years.
I was right.
The thing with ash, and you will see in the posts In the bumped posts, was the venom I was met with when I just gave my opinion. So yeah I will rub peoples noses in it everyday and twice on Sunday.
And if I am an ass and wrong, while I attack another poster, I deserve to get my nose rubbed in it. Right?
First, Flood was only here 4 years. But at what point do you draw the line. Hypothetically, what if Flood stayed, and he was kicking Ash (oops, ass) today and had the team 5-1? Yeah, not likely to have happened. Sometimes people are right, and sometimes they are wrong.
Is CuredbyWinning still around? Give that poster credit for nailing it.

Totally clueless you are.
Cuse would whip RU right now and their Coach knows what the f he is doing.
I don't think this is as much about someone being right as in how he was trashed for stating his opinion. THAT is worth recalling as a lesson to everyone. Just because someone doesn't have the pompoms out and isn't wearing his scarlet-colored glasses doesn't mean he's not a fan.
THAT is the lesson. Not that somebody was right. (Although obviously he was.)

Sadly yes. So much to say but the comments in these old threads and on the field do the talking . As they should .
My issue as I recall at the time was the incessant bombardment of the opinion that Ash was an awful hire in damn near every thread. But point taken.
Good to know that Plum is behind Coach Ash.
Ok so who doesn’t want to help with this push? Post here .
Yeah, but if ash is retained and turns this program around I have to hope this thread gets deleted or I may have to retire from the board!
OMG @Plum Street enough with the regurgitation of this abortion of a thread. We get it. For once in your life you were right. Congratulations you won the Amateur AD of the year award for 2015. I mean come on man. We're coming up on the 3 yr. anniversary of this thread. Let it die.
Maybe on the 3 year anniversary we will bury it and let it RIP.
I was holding onto hope that ash would be fired today, and I could bury this thread forever. However, I woke up to reading that pathetic statement by Hobbs.
Well, here’s my statement that I still stand by: “Ash will get us smashed.”
This famous thread must sadly live on for another year at the very least.
