If you dump a coach unceremoniously you must stink at football for a few years. Those are the rules. When Ole Miss got rid of David Cutcliffe after his first losing season and hired Ed Orgeron as his replacement the Rebels attended zero bowl games in three years, with a 10-25 record.
After firing Mario Cristobal despite cleaning up the program and guiding FIU to back-to-back bowl games and their first bowl win, FIU hired Ron Turner. FIU’s record over the next three years? 10-26.
Those are the rules.
But after suffering for three years, FIU could breakthrough and achieve their first bowl appearance since 2011.
