Tech is one win away from bowl eligibility and they fire their coach?  They've already won one more game than last year.

Have you seen their schedule? They literally have 1,2,3,4 in the conference left, combined record of 25-4. They have the hardest remaining schedule in all of college football. Unless they upset Baylor on the last day of the season, they aren't making a bowl.

I find it funny that Sonny Cumbie, who has been nothing but a failure the last decade and his offense is what lost them the game on Saturday, will be the interim.

We fired prince, but let him keep coaching with a chance to get to a bowl.
I once blew clove smoke in a guy's face that cut in front of me in the line to KJ's.

I think we'll go 2-1 over the next 3. Bowl eligible!

Any loss in the next three is simply unacceptable and should be treated as a disappointment, and the worst failure of the Klieman era.

Ahhh, how soon we forget trauma of Arkansas State.

Jonathan Adams Jr... we made him look like a 1st round draft pick. Instead, he went in the 4th round to the Jets, and then the Lions, and now has been released.

But, Covid and stuff.
He was likely to get a roster spot with the lions, but was suspended by the league for the first 6 games.

Word on the street is Wells ass is CANNED! I bet that Sonny guy gets the interim
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

KSU taking a trick out of the KU playbook. Must not feel too great.

Feels like a slap in the face, tbh.

3rd and 34 must have been the final straw.

i interpret it as they already know their next guy, and can't afford to let a surprising win or two in the next month let it slip away.

but also i think they knew at the beginning of the season they didn't want him anymore so maybe just using the loss to us as justification to start their search.

I suppose that's true but I'm really annoyed by a random game or two making or breaking a hiring/firing decision. Maybe it makes it easier to deal with the fans? but if you have a guy that's better, go ahead and fire the guy you have now.

wells lost his starting qb in all 3 seasons at tech, seems like you'd give a guy a little bit of a leash with that but I guess not.

You fire a coach that's 1 win away from being bowl eligible and is 5-3 on the season?

Goodness.   

That was a shitty loss, I mean, they were more shitty than K-State was and so that made for some simply awful football outside of a couple of plays, but wow.

It was a lot cooler when we fired HOF'rs for losing to mold aggie than being the team that losing to warrants firing a coach.

i thought about it some more and i've decided i agree with firing klaeman if he doesn't win the last three games.

I'm guessing their next coach is going to be worse than Wells.

I hope there's an email chain that gets shared from a donor wanting some previous QB that's now very attractive and wants to really promote his GQ sexiness to get him invited to the Grammy's and crap. That was my favorite TTech.

SP+ says Tech has (had?) 81% chance of winning at least 1 more game

You mean FPI? It's down to 69%. You've presumably seen tech and the four teams they're playing. Would you bet your own money that they even have a 69% chance of even covering against any of the teams they have left?
