Might be a good coach or even a great one but something else I forgot to mention because of the dumpster fire this place is and all the losing Dooley has been doing the hire has to be someone that will get the entire fanbase excited.

I hope fsu can bounce back this week and put up Wake-like numbers against Boston college. I have my doubts. I am still hopeful for an acc title this year though. It has been forever since we actually won the damn conference title.

They lost to Army, dude. Army. If you don't Savannah State them don't even show up for the UF game.

Hey, maybe it'll be a Miami-FSU ACC Championship game!

Not sure we have ever played Miami twice in a season so that would be cool.

We gotta hope the Terps and NC State lose first.

The fucking Terps. And Duke doesn't look shabby. Yea, that Duke.

But a Miami rematch would be sick. The FSU/Miami rivalry is right behind UF, however I feel it's more intense. There's usually more on the line at Miami other than just glory.

I didn't even know it was that possible, already. Wow.

Well, I mean it's still a stretch, but Miami's 3-0 in the ACC and Duke's right behind them at 2-0. With our loss at NC State, the Atlantic has the potential to be wide open, however the Coastal is pretty much going to be either Miami or Duke. GT's at 1-1 and UNC's there as well, however the Tarheels are banned from the post season.

Duke's pretty decent. They're sitting at 5-1 with their only loss being at Stanford. They're won their other four games a combined 214-101. They're not concrete, but still pretty solid. They actually got a few votes to be in the top 25 this week too.

It'd be awesome to see Duke in the ACC Championship. Who the fuck would've picked Duke over Miami or VT?! I mean... they're fucking DUKE.

Pretty fucking amazing. I guess this is a situation where every week they practice the routine, and then set aside to practice for this?

Of course, this being GAF someone in the official thread: "haven't you ever seen a marching band before?"

Yep. No more bargain coaches, no more up and comers. Just get someone who can win, plz. If they get the timing right, they can probably make the switch without losing many (if any) recruits, provided most of the assistants stay on board. And then the new guy can start making an impact right away in 2013. The roster will actually be fairly loaded next year.

When I was in the marching band at USC we practice 3 nights a week for about 2, 2.5 hours, then we met on Saturday mornings at 6:09am for practice/run through for another 2-3 hours depending upon when kick off was.

I actually still have a bunch of the field show guides back at my parents house, of course they don't really make a lot of sense unless you've marched before.

The thing about a field show like what Ohio State did is that its actually not that complicated or difficult.

Tennessee needs a Zook!

Dooley is Zook+Shula, except without any significant wins to speak of. Both of those guys, as tarnished as their legacies are, actually beat a few decent teams every now and then. Hell, Shula won 10 games and landed Bama on the cover of Sports Illustrated.

Yep...failed head coaches almost always:

- become a position coach at a bigger or comparable school
- go or go back to the NFL
- or get a HC job at a smaller school

Does such a coach exist? Most likely a coach is going to want to bring the majority of his current staff unless he is a position coach.

I doubt many of the assistants stay. Jay Graham would because he is the best coach on the team and one of/if not the best RB coaches in the country.

Then I defer to the man with the wisdom. I assumed it takes a lot more practice as you rarely see other bands try so much coordination.
