[QUOTE="JacketOff, post: 903630, member: 4572"] He’s been here for 4 years, but he’ll only be here for 8 games at his [I]current [/I]position. Why would you use Key’s years as solely OL coach as more of a reason to let him go than when he actually the [B]head coach? [/B] In order for Key to go 6-2, he’ll have to beat at least one of Miami, UNC, and FSU. Those are 3 schools that have said, “we’re serious about winning football games.” And Miami is the only one we get at home. 6-2 would get us to a level of football we’ve only seen once since 2015. In the last 8 years there’s only been 1 year where we were something other than mediocre, and Key would have accomplished it in only 3/4 of a season. Is that not an achievement worthy of merit?
