[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 497492, member: 2299"] Back in 2008 when we fired Gailey I was happy about the news of us hiring Johnson. I thought he was a great fit and still think he was a great fit for us at that time. However, times change, opponents change, and for the most part Johnson didn't. Tried with Vad but quickly abandoned that and to me it became clear that he didn't want to adjust anymore (which ironically was what made his offenses so good). It doesn't really matter who the coach is, you have to be willing to adapt and change in college football. That doesn't mean wholesale change, but we probably did less this year in terms of offense than we did in 2009. Glad to see he was able to retire and not be forced out, at least overtly. I disagree with those that act like we are guaranteed to be a 3 win team now. We weren't before Johnson and while changes have happened that separate the highest tier we remain in about the same position compared to the rest that we always have. BUt keep in mind, we had a 3 and 5 win season with Johnson, so it's not like we were guaranteed to be a bowl team under him going forward anyways. Look forward to renewed excitement, personally, in the program. [/QUOTE]
