The Official Fire Lyle Hemphill Into the Sun (Durham) Thread

Clawson was really lamenting the loss of Holmes and Carson. Holmes looks like he is gone for a while. Any idea what happened to Carson?
 
I hope this is actually true, would make me feel a bit better

Not sure if Claw really has hopes for a cfp or NY6 but if so and he wants the nation to take notice he fires Hemphill this week. You can sure bet any of the traditional powers would by now if their Ds gave up 56 to army and then had that travesty we just saw vs unc after being up big and having your D called atrocious on national tv and then you embarrass yourself further. Dave did it to sawvel and quite honestly not anywhere near as bad of results.

It's up to Dave. I trust Dave. But, if he wants this program to go from "good to great", he has to make changes on defense. Tomorrow would be preferable.
 
Glad to see the dumbassery of our fan base has achieved new heights along with our ranking.

You’re a fucking idiot if you want to keep a DC who completely lucked into the job after an equally inept DC was fired, only to allow opposing teams to score 40+ like 10 times in the last 3 years. There are thousands of coordinators at the high school level and above who would be better choices than this fool.
 
It’s not about ranking. It’s about our defense being light years behind the rest of the team.

Hemphill knows the deal. He took over when Clawson fired Sawvel. Hemphill has had plenty of chances to show he belongs in the big time.
 
fwiw, watching live i didn’t think either of those plays were offsides. unc linemen moved but didn’t think they crossed the LOS

On the INT he came across the line no question. He may have gotten back but it was extremely close. Could have gone either way

On 4th down with 1:26 to play the lineman moved but did not cross the line. Definitely not offsides
 
It’s Ruggiero’s fault our defense fucking sucks because his offense scores so many points. If he doesn’t stop scoring so many goddamn points, he should be the one getting fired into the sun! And if you don’t believe me, just look at EPA!!!!!!

He was an idiot way before that stupid take.

Clawson fired Sawvel after giving up 56 vs. #8 Notre Dame.

Gotta think Hemphill could be gone after giving up 56 twice in three games and giving up 40+ 10 times in 53 games.

Clawson owns the phrase "good to great". He said he came up with it this summer.

It's up to Clawson at this point. If he wants to accomplish "good to great"? He needs to have one or more cleaning out their offices tomorrow.

There are many qualified high school coaches who can do better than what we saw on defense today. It's absolutely putrid.

would be absolutely shocked if we did anything publicly at 8-1. it’s not like we can bring on someone externally, so you’d just be giving someone else the responsibility. perhaps there’s some internal shift in responsibilities, but not sure if there are any viable options.

Clawson took the team moto from the business book "Good to Great"

Don't care where he got the phrase. If he wants to live by it, he has to make big changes. This defense is, to quote Joey Galloway, "atrocious".
 
Absolutely fucking pathetic. Total garbage. We should hire the Pole Assassin as our DC. Our defense is an absolute joke. And there's nothing we can show recruits about what we do on defense that is positive. What kind of tape are they ever going to show an NFL team ? Here's me after we've given up 40 points making a tackle after a 12 yard gain? This is total bullshit !
