Topic: How close is Snyder to being 0 for a career?

[MUTitan]

I'm not joking.  He easily could have pulled out a few more W's, but if not for the home crowd/team advantage and a few lucky breaks, he easily could have lost every game the past 2 and a half years.

Pretty close.  Easy wins are few and far between when your a horribly coached team.

W #1. William & Mary-down 23-24 in 3rd quarter and needed a Couch INT to save the day.

W #2. SMU-Down 10-0 in the fourth and needed Bernie heroics to force OT.

W #3. UAB down again in the fourth and needed Morris heroics and a missed 50 yard FG to win by one point. UAB had two punts blocked on the day.

W #4. Tulane-Down in the fourth and needed a 14 miracle points late in the game to beat a homeless 2-9 Tulane team in Mobile.

W #5. Hofstra-Down 14-0 in the 1st quarter but rallied to beat a D-AA foe.

W #6. UAB-Lead the entire game but needed a last drive stand to beat a 3-9 UAB team.

W #7. Memphis-Needed a 80 yrd TD return to stave off a comeback by a 2-10 Memphis team.

w #8. Tulane-Lost a 21-0 lead against a 3-9 Tulane team. A week later Tulane's was blasted by USM and Tulane's coach said something about the team pissing down the leg of its own pants.

W #8. UTEP-Won big over a turnover prone, freefalling UTEP team. Our best win in the Snyder era.

Thanks Young Herdman, that's about the way my memory had it, but I was hoping that I was just being pessimestic.

Thats a lot worse that I remember it :(

No wonder we're all disgusted.  I tend to remember wins and losses, but not what happens in the games to cause them.

How in the hell does Coach Snyder warrant an extension at any point with
games like those under his belt.  

When the extention was offered, he should have had the decency to turn it down based on performance.
