[QUOTE="JacketFan137, post: 885604, member: 5973"] i think you’re relying too much on hindsight here. we had just come off a season rotating taquon and oliver. neither was very good tbh and definitely did not have the tools to run a different system. i think the qb room alone was probably a little worrisome for any prospective coaches. i think the 7 year contract is also something people have to get over. with the expectation to get away from the option, i don’t think tech was hiring anyone for less than 5-6-7 years. any coach with a brain was gonna ask for a little bit of a safety net based on the roster and task given. he’s also being paid so little it really takes away from the arguments and is very terrifying for the future of our program if the fanbase can’t even stomach a guy getting 3 mil annually while expecting to be competitive at this level. i also think you are being way too generous if you think that the majority of the fanbase that wanted the option gone and the money up top that wanted it gone were gonna tolerate more years running it or anything similar. i think for better or worse they wanted a total departure as evidenced by the two coaches (collins and whisenhunt) that made it the farthest. overall it’s getting silly seeing all these proposed hypotheticals about who and how we should have moved after johnson and the belief that each of these hypotheticals would have us in a better position. at the end of the day the only thing that could have changed anything would have been willing to spend more money than we did and hire a coach in a completely different caliber than any we went for.
