Trent Dilfer hot seat: Fans call for UAB coach to be fired after another disappointing loss
Published:
Trent Dilfer is firmly on the hot seat after Week 7, if he wasn’t already.
Dilfer’s UAB Blazers were dominated for the 3rd-straight week on Saturday, falling to Army 44-10. The team has not won since a Week 1 victory over FCS Alcorn State. Since then, the team has been outscored 225 to 81 and now sits at 1-5.
Last season, Dilfer’s 1st at the helm, didn’t go much better as the team finished 4-8. This was after the team went to a bowl game in the previous 2 seasons.
Now, after the blowout at Army, fans have seen enough of Dilfer as UAB’s head man. Fans and media members flocked to social media after the loss to give their takes on the state of the program.
Trent Dilfer is a bottom-five coaching disaster from start to finish in the past 10 years. Bryan Harsin’s Auburn tenure was arguably superior (it’s close)

When does Trent Dilfer get fired?

Trent Dilfer sucked as a QB and now he sucks s a coach. Probably the only reason UAB hired him was because he won a Super Bowl. He is probably literally the worst QB to win a Super Bowl. The dude got fired after winning a Super Bowl.

Trent Dilfer, who berated his coach in public, will likely be fired in the next few days. He’s awful. https://t.co/BqGr4Kts79

The Blazers will have another chance to get a win in Week 8 against South Florida. Whether or not Dilfer will be the coach for that game, however, is anybody’s guess.
