[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 416226, member: 2299"] Your argument for why YOU don't personally hold his record against him doesn't explain why you can't understand why others would. He's a head football coach. He's paid to win football games. He hasn't won enough for some people. Ergo they are unhappy with him. It's not an overly convoluted argument and most of your argument doesn't really affect that. The argument for graduating players is as shallow now as it was when it was used by those wanting to keep gregory. The academic support staff is doing a wonderful job. Not sure why people love to make that an achievement of an athletic coach. As far as coach of the year goes. Two of those came in 08 and 09. You know who won it the year before Johnson? Groh. He won it twice, and we've fired him since then because it was irrelevant at the time. Same as Johnson. What Johnson did in 08 and 09 is irrelevant today. The entire coaching landscape of the ACC has changed and he has not shown to be able to replicate the level of talent that team had. As far as 2014 goes, it was a great year. It was also followed by the worst year in 20 years. @016 was a good year in the way that 2006 was. Still underwhelming and last year was the second worst year in 20 years. But yes, I know your position. I've seen that mentality the last several years from too large a portion of the fanbase. When something goes wrong it's never on the head coach. It's the DC that's the problem (again). And if we struggle next year it'll be blamed on the defense getting used to the new system. And when that excuse runs it's course it'll be that time to replace the DC because [B]this[/B] time Johnson has the money to make a good hire. (don't actually look at what we're paying our current DC vs past ones. That's the reason this one will be different.). And if the offense struggles it's somehow the defense that is causing the offense to play bad because of pressure. And if not the defense it'll be players missing assignments, or the refs, or coaches complaining to the refs, or the field conditions, or the rule changes, or what brand sponsors us, or whatever the next flavor of the month excuse is. And it all culminates into one statement that is tautological in some minds. "Johnson's doing an excellent job". No matter what that job actually is. [/QUOTE]
