Fans are calling for the UAB coach to be fired after another disappointing loss

Trent Dilfer is firmly on the hot seat after Week 7, if he wasn’t already.

Dilfer’s UAB Blazers dominated for the third straight game on Saturday, losing to Army 44-10. The team hasn’t won since a Week 1 win over FCS Alcorn State. Since then, the team has outscored 225 to 81 and is now 1-5.

Last season, when Dilfer was first at the helm, things didn’t go much better, with the team finishing the season 4-8. This came after the team had appeared in a bowl game in the previous two seasons.

Now, after the bankruptcy at Army, fans have seen enough of Dilfer as head of UAB. Fans and media members flocked to social media following the loss to voice their opinions on the state of the program.

Trent Dilfer has been a bottom-five coaching disaster from start to finish for the last 10 years. Bryan Harsin’s tenure at Auburn was arguably superior (it’s close)

@UAB_FB Can we please fire Trent Dilfer? He’s a bum

When will Trent Dilfer be fired?

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

UAB said let’s take it to the next level and then hired Trent Dilfer ⚰️

Trent Dilfer, who publicly insulted his coach, is likely to be fired in the next few days. He’s terrible.

I can’t wait to see 2025 UMass Football coach Trent Dilfer

The Blazers will have another chance at a win in Week 8 against South Florida. However, it is unclear whether Dilfer will be the coach of this game.
