[QUOTE="Deleted member 2897, post: 656226"] No coach is beyond second guessing and criticism. But yes, we should be behind our team 100% and let our guys have time and runway. We also do need to keep things in perspective. We don't have the money that schools like FSU have where they can fire people every few years and spend $10m-$20m on a coaching carrousel. I think what you've seen is not unusual to other teams though. Look at Ed Orgeron and before him Les Miles. LSU has to play Alabama, Auburn, Mississippi State, Ole Miss and Texas A&M every year. At least 3 of those 5 teams are highly ranked every year...sometimes 4 or 5 of those teams are ranked. Les Miles averaged about 10 wins per year for well over a decade, but look at what happened to him. The man never had a single sub 8-win year. And they were about to run Ed out of town too despite the fact they won 8 his first year, 9 the next year, 10 last year, and already have 9 wins this year. What I'm getting at is that I'm not trying to say anybody should be fine with mediocrity or to set your expectations too low. But at the same time, every team can't win 12-14 games. And there are always costs to turning over the coaching staff (both in recruiting, continuity, experience, money). Its not just getting rid of someone, there's always a risk of who you're going to hire next. A lot of folks like Will Muschamp say hello. [/QUOTE]
