[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 467345, member: 2299"] It's a well put together letter that puts on the public face that is probably needed from the AD at this point. Hopefully though that is all this is. If this is the way he truly views the situation then things aren't going to get better. There is a portion of the fanbase who doesn't think that Johnson is a problem at all. I'm sure they loved this letter and it might even inspire them t o give money. I suspect they are the ones already doing so though. But the letter is pretty tone deaf to the, growing, section of the fanbase that thinks the head coach is a problem. The statement that nobody is satisfied with the prospect of not going to the postseason rings hollow when we just had that happen and the coach got an extension out of it. You can make the arguments all you want about why it was needed, but to miss a bowl, give an extension, and then start the way we start is a lot stronger than saying nobody is content with what is happening, or that you're frustrated and disappointed. It's certainly not a good lead in to "give me more money". The fact is for many of the people who actually need to be convinced to give, the only thing that will spur that is either to win more, and consistently, to change the opinions on whether Johnson can get it done here, or to change coaches. My guess though is that he knows it and privately has conveyed that sentiment to Johnson. At least I hope so. [/QUOTE]
