[QUOTE="Atomic Jacket, post: 107541, member: 1008"] Consistency. He has not shown a level of consistency. He exceeded expectations this year, and he has earned more time. But this is where immature people in charge of football programs go wrong all the time. They panic and lock themselves into a lucrative buyout. The coach that looked great one season turns out not to be so great on a consistent basis, and the school is financially frozen into inaction for YEARS. We've actually had it happen not just with Gailey but with Hewitt in basketball. Virginia is facing this with London now. It's immature and foolish to lock yourself into something you can't get out of. You must stay nimble and you must stay fleet of foot. Now, come back with a few years of consistent excellence. Show me that you've built something that's sustainable, and I'd be willing to talk long-term commitment. O'Leary was someone who I thought had proven a level of consistency and increasing success. He happened to have his eye on Notre Dame, but had he wanted to make a commitment long term to Tech, I think it would have been appropriate to offer him that. Johnson has had a good year. In a week, it might turn out to have been a great year. But we can't jump pell-mell into a hasty decision, or we are going to regret it. [/QUOTE]
