[QUOTE="jojatk, post: 853905, member: 2627"] Collins could have bought himself 2 years if he’d fired Thacker along with the others. Keeping Thacker may be the hill Collins is going to die on. When Collins was hired I was optimistic because I felt his recruiting energy would help us reconnect to the recruits and to the people that advise recruits. I was excited about Thacker because he was young and, I thought, had a good mentor in Collins. I wasn’t thrilled about Patenaude but I was willing to take a wait and see approach to him and give him a chance because there was a TON of work to do on the offense rebuilding the position groups almost from the ground up (no TEs, no throwing QBs, wrong kind of OL skills, no separators at the WR position). I am the kind of person who is always looking for reasons why there can be success. So even among the losses I was looking for signs of improvement. I have seen a few on offense (not enough to make me like Patenaude) but not enough on defense and, in fact, the defense seems to have gotten worse. So now I’m not looking for signs of improvement. I’m looking for wins. Period. I don’t see how we get close to 8 but I’m going to hope that the new OC breathes some life into the offense and that our defense plays even at a “D+” level instead of the “F” they played at last year. I‘d say I hoped for more but I can’t imagine how that can happen with Thacker still around. [/QUOTE]
