Go on the recruiting warpath and keep picking up talented kids from the valley and beyond. You most be kidding when you say he has to go. He built the national image we have.<BR/>He has had the_alls to schedule some tough teams and should maybe cut back a little in that department but those matches have helped put Fresno State on the map.<BR/>Lately his decision making is in question and he now needs to realize and accept he made a mistake with Branstater and prepare the team mentally for a new start with Norton.<BR/>They are still a good team that needs to focus and start anew.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16558511.post-1160402022071072022006-10-09T06:53:00.000-07:002006-10-09T06:53:00.000-07:00Has not worked in ten years? Where have you been....Has not worked in ten years? Where have you been. As everyone at the blog likes to write...WTF?<BR/><BR/>If you don't think Pat Hill is solely responsible for all our success the last 10 seasone then you need to go.<BR/><BR/>Ten years ago we were coming off a 5-6 season and had trouble beating the bottom of the WAC. If Pat Hill has never worked for FS then what about all the attention, draft picks , national tv, bowl games, academic progress. I suppose you would reinstall Sweeney. But guess what, there are no more cal stete fullertons or Pacifics on the schedule. <BR/><BR/>Wake up!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16558511.post-1160337978266477102006-10-08T13:06:00.000-07:002006-10-08T13:06:00.000-07:00What games have all of you been watching this year...What games have all of you been watching this year? We are 1-4 and perhaps one of the worst teams in 1-A.<BR/><BR/>I AM SICK AND TIRED OF PEOPLE GIVING EXCUSES FOR PAT HILL! HE HAS TO GO!!!<BR/><BR/>Rebuilding year? Yeah right! What kind of recruits do you think we are going to get for the '07 year? - C to D level recruits - if we are lucky. And Pat already has Oregon next year on the schedule and now wants to play Auburn? WTF?<BR/><BR/>The only thing you can guarantee with Pat Hill is 4-5 LOSSES every year. The facts don't lie. Tell me how are you supposed to get your team in the top 25 consistantly every year with 4-5 losses on your schedule? <BR/><BR/>We DON'T have the talent to play these big games every year. Perhaps one top 25 game a year, but two, three or four BCS teams a year? - HELL NO!! We can't even beat a 0-5 team. <BR/><BR/>Our credibility is gone! Rebuild this team the next three years under ANYONE ELSE BUT PAT HILL - his philosophy dosen't work for FSU and it hasn't worked in ten seasons. What makes you think it's going to be better next year?<BR/><BR/>No more excuses! The boss ultimately is in charge and Pat has clearly lost control of this team.<BR/><BR/>FIRE PAT HILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16558511.post-1160292222152453952006-10-08T00:23:00.000-07:002006-10-08T00:23:00.000-07:00Oh my freaking god i can't believe we lost to Utah...Oh my freaking god i can't believe we lost to Utah State. Talk about eating my words i was the guy who was just talking about how there should be no controversy, that controversy is bad for a program, that the 'dogs should be competing as a major program, that we should all be more optimistic. Truth is i had my head in the sand the whole time. There can be no optimism at this time, no defense of Hill, Brandenstater, or Hagan, and realy no realistic hope of winning a game again until november at the earliest. The biggest horror show about this is that how does Hill walk into the living room of some hot high school recruit and convince him to come to the 'dogs instead of USC or UCLA? He used to be able to say that we beat the other teams that the kid might have looking at him, but i don't know if you can say that anymore. Bulldog fan is offically in the tank, and as a proud 'dog fan, all i can say is, its going to be a long year. Man, Utah State! that is going to be the rallying cry every time we loose for a while. Everything i ever said on this site has been proven wrong and vindication is all of yours, beacuse there is no way for me to be optimistic about this program at all. Now i feel like anything would be better than Brandenstater, and maybe even hill. But man, getting rid of hill still seems like it would be a mistake, who replaces him? Would Boeh pick the right guy? could the next guy hope to do what hill has done, take us in the direction we want to go? No way you put Hill, the guy who esentally made fresno state smashmouth football, on the hot seat, right? but then, oh yeah, UTAH STATE!<BR/><BR/>So now I guess its triage. What is salvagable from this season, what can we hope to do with this year, and how to best prepare for the next? These are serious questions that we have to contemplate. I thought this year was definitely a rebuilding one from day one, but its been pointed out that next year is most certanly one. I thought that having a QB controversy this year would weaken any confidence Brandenstater might ever start to have, and might destroy any hope of salvaging the season. But there is no salvaging this season, so it is best to see what Norton can do, and if he is the guy to lead the team next year. There is no question that next year's team needs some experienced leadership at QB especially with so many players on both sides of the ball finishing their college carrers. I think for the next year, two things need to be done;<BR/><BR/>1. A change at the Offensive Coordinator. Steve Hagan is not Frank Cignetti, and cannot impliemnt the kind of thinking that is needed by this team. I think that there needs to be a search for somone who can impliment the kind of thinking that used to characterize fresno state offenses.<BR/><BR/>2. A change at QB. I have been this blog's standing opponent a change at that position; but this year is out of reach now, and the only hope of success for the 'dogs can be by giving Norton a shot. <BR/><BR/>I don't know what else to say except go dogs, get it together and finish strong.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
