gone and know there is a better alternative available, then I'm all in on the new guy... but fan bases have proven to make some really big mistakes when they've pushed their coaches out.
Fans wanting a coach gone becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. It's hard to recruit... but even harder if the coach is unpopular with the fans. I don't see the benefit of not enjoying this ride we're on... we've had real obstacles in our way with recruiting, yet we've been ranked for years.. top 25 meets my expectations... 3 years in a row of top 25 beats my expectations.
Going forward I'll have bigger expectations. I want our team to be good enough to play in the B12 Championship game. I think that's about our ceiling considering we aren't willing to cheat and considering the honor code/no party culture on our campus.
If recruiting doesn't get better, then all of these coaches should be fired (and fire Hickman too).
