IT’S A REGULAR SHED SCENE OUT THERE
Bloodbath does not describe it: this year 12 coaches have been canned in all, leaving behind a trail of tears, moving vans, and discarded coffee makers and dry-erase boards unseen since the great de-coachening of 2002.
It brought to mind one scene and on scene only: a vision of violence and force so appalling it almost earned the now-retired X rating, a demonstration of primitive, pre-CGI prosthetic and blood hydraulics so obviously fake and awesome it set the bar for an entire generation of young gorehounds…a depiction of oiled Austrian rage bent on saving the only thing that really mattered to America, Alyssa Milano…yet another example that the only qualification for being a movie henchman is to shoot wildly from the hip and possess zero ability to react to your situation…
Yes, we’re thinking of the shed scene from Commando, the most awesome of awesome scenes from a movie packed to the gills with steroidal excellence. And right now, the demands of war-painted fanbases are speaking with ze thickest of akk-scents und doing ze keeehling, mah freund.

Standing ovation to LSUFreek, who put this together at our behest. ONE HUNDRED COCKTAILS to you, sir.

I don’t get how that’s a bloodbath. 119 coaches, most coaches have tenures under 10 years, should be a good amount of firings and hirings every year. I think this year may be more bloody because winners are getting canned, which is more unusual.

The crazy sack of weasels presser last night left no doubt that his departure was not a firing, not a resignation, not forced out, not a mutual agreement, or anything like that. It was a nice campfire scene complete with smores, warm cider; and everyone was reminiscing over a good coon dog that had to be put to sleep.
It wan’t anyone’s fault; just one of those things.

Gary Barnett got more coaches fired than any one person in 1995 & 6. If Northwestern could win, anyone can win was the thinking by AD’s across the country. This year just has some higher profile openings like Michigan and Nebraska for starters.

Wow!
That is a thing of beauty. Only thing missing is the sound………”Stick around, Bennett”

First movie young jebus ever rented. I watched it 4 times in that 24 hours. Those were halcyon days.
Let off some steam, Bennett!
Indeed.

I don’t think Lloyd belongs in there, since he retired instead of being killed by Ahnalt.

This is just a natural extension of the Mao Boathouse season.

He shall live forever in all of our minds and hearts…

Lloyd would still be on the jet, ’sleeping’ soundly.

Holy shit, that was brilliant.
Also, people who would post on this comment thread about how ‘that really isn’t that much turnover’…umm, you’re missing the point.
And the point is that However many coaches actually are getting shitcanned, it inspired this phenomenal clip. Stop being geeks.

Couldn’t buy it. If The Orgeron was the one doling out the punishment, then I’d buy it. No way even a fully buffed Ahnold lops off O’s arm, at least not without getting eaten.
Re: the magnitude of the bloodbath, it’s not so much the absolute numbers, but that: 1.) So many have happened so quickly; 2.) Some of them involved winning coaches; 3.) Some of them involve big name schools; 4.) It ain’t over.
