[QUOTE="GTRX7, post: 462883, member: 1045"] I think this is a really good post. If we do miss a bowl this year (and, yes, that is still an "if" despite some having given up already), I will not strongly oppose moving on from CPJ. If for no other reason, than I think the fan base could be irreparably split. That said, I also have some serious doubts that the next coach will be an upgrade. It could be, but I think there is just as strong, if not stronger, possibility that the next six years could be like the six years that followed Hewitt. Hewitt definitely seemed to be trending down, and I think his firing made sense. But the program was cash strapped, we settled for a backup coach in Gregory, and have been stuck in mediocrity to worse since then. We still have not reached the heights of Hewitt's second to last season since. We had one okay season with Pastner in 2016-2017, and I am hopeful that we can finally get it turned around in year 8 post-Hewitt next year, but I could easily see a similar situation playing out in football. We don't have a ton of money for a proven coach, we are not the most desirable place to coach to begin with, and the new coach would have to know that he was likely to struggle for at least a couple years transitioning to a new offense. I could easily see us getting our 4th choice coach, him failing after four years like Gregory, us firing him and getting our 3rd choice coach, and then just hoping he can succeed. Doesn't make me particularly optimistic : ( [/QUOTE]
