one game doesn't change anything. He was terrible again with his play calling and he can easily lose next week which he's known for after a big win. Idaho State is 4-1 tied first in the Big Sky.

+1

He still needs to go. But talking about it on here won't change anything.

Still on the Fire Gill train. We beat a team without their starting QB. Good win but I’m worried about next week.

Yea, I suppose it would have been better if we had AGG, our #1 running back, our kickers, etc.

Tip of the hat to Coach Gill and crew!

They deserve it tonight. We can get into the other stuff later. They earned some time for us to appreciate the outcome.

What a dumb post. I'm still of the opinion we need a new voice but this is not the time to talk about that. Enjoy the win. it was a good one.

[FlamesHighontheTide]

Appreciate the honesty in your post, but I was just having a little fun with our forum fam. who are on the fire Gill train. My wife told me tonight I enjoyed the win a little to much, haha.

It is only one game but what a game.
A win does earn respect.
Yeah, I would have called the hail mary at half, yeah I would have kicked a field goal (maybe) cause my first thought was a blocked kick. Time mangagement was a bit of whiff in my mind.
We used some ball control and kept our D fresh. The game resemblesd a real game.
We overcam poor play, missing players, and a few call I did not like.
OBTW, I hate the muff rule.
Man, we should win 5 now. One more and we could be bowling
That is amazing for a transition FBS team with some pretty good teams on the schedule.
It would be great if Gill and his crew catch fire and consitency!

If we make a bowl game this year, hasn't Coach Gill earned a contract extension? (No, I'm NOT asking Flameshaw).

Too many fair weather fans on here to expect a cogent response.

If you believe he is the guy who can lead us to where we want to go, then yes. Most people would say you don’t extend based solely on one year of results though. It’s a factor, and you can’t write it off, but if you didn’t think he could take us to our goals before this season, it’s doubtful one season is going to change that. Especially given that the current AD didn’t hire the him.

You think a contract with merit based extensions(rather than compensation) would get a bite? 1 year with a 1 year extension and a 5% raise for making a bowl game, additional 1% raise for winning the bowl game.

Yesterdays win was on the players. Gill and company made their fair share of head scratchers yesterday. Troys defensive weakness is their pass coverage so let’s run on 10 of the first 13 plays (approximate). The decision at the end of the game to kneel and then run on 4th down? What? You either run the ball 3 straight times and kick or you kick the FG after the kneel downs. Also, this staff clearly has never taught our guys to throw the ball away when possible under duress. Ex. Buckshot on game winning drive taking a 12 yard sack. Also whichever receiver that was on the jet sweep when it was clearly sniffed out and he was wide enough to realize, just throw it away and save the 7 yard loss. I’ll give some credit to coaches esp. wimbo but otherwise all credit to the guys.

That just wouldn’t make a ton of sense to do. You either believe in the guy or you don’t. If you do, give him the contract. If you don’t, find the right guy. You can’t be recruiting players when the coach is on one year deals.

[Class of 20Something]

That's fair. I'm fine with ripping the bandaid off if we have the incoming coach secured before hand. I think a search is dangerous with the dual recruiting deadline era.

I think one of the hard things currently is reading Ian. He keeps things so close to the vest that it’s hard to tell what he’s thinking about anything. Even the people who normally know things are just guessing with him.

I actually like the tight ship. Sure I'd love to know, but I'm glad leaks aren't coming from above or below. It feels like he has the authority to do his job without compromise from below or influence from above.

[Jonathan Carone]

I agree. There’s less public politics with the way Ian does things.

I humbly accept your compliment.

[CCWMichael]

I am assuming he has two years left yet?
One season does not make a master. He has had them before.
Rinse and repeat next year with an improvement, then yes.
I would not jump for one good season when much of the contract is left.
Still not a sold fan of his tenure however, redemption is possible at any time.

[Jonathan Carone]

He’s like an athlete who performs well in a contract year and then underperforms the rest of the contract.

[cruzan_flame13]

I'm still not sure when his contract ends. Some folks on here say 2019 while other state it's this season. I recall him receiving his last contract that started during the 2015 season.

[Jonathan Carone]

I've been told both this year and it runs through 2019. I tend to believe it runs through 2019 because that makes the most sense. That said, I think our assistants' contracts are up this year.
