[QUOTE="MidtownJacket, post: 147949, member: 959"] I think we all know, when we are honest with ourselves, that our expectations are exceedingly high for the program. I think that is the kind of attitude that MaTech instills in the gunners who come, succeed and get out of the Institute. We are driven, we expect results, and we work hard to ensure we get them. That is goodness, and frankly a large part of why I enjoyed my time at the Institute. That said, when unrealistic expectations begin to take hold we have a problem. I think we need to see steady and continual improvement, but still believe people are not evaluating the program as a whole. CBG came in and focused on defense first (as that was his philosphy's foundation) and academics. Two decisions - in the abstract - everyone who is a Tech fan would likely support. He has made strides - some larger than others, but progress all the same - in those two areas. We just want more. It is ok to have high goals but they have to be tempered with a realistic understanding of the facts on the ground. I think when we look back on the CBG years people will see he came in and worked hard every day to get the team better than they were the day before. He has not been able to get us to a place (roster wise or record wise) that people are happy with, but I think he is not happy yet either. Given the financial situation we are in, I still think he is the right guy for the job. As always, we should continue to evaluate progress along the continuum, and reevaluate as necessary. I am just not ready to close the book on him yet. I see more fire and passion in the team last year than I have since 2006 or so. That is coaching too. You can tell a lot about a coach by how his teams play when they're down and these guys still fight and bleed and dive and hustle for eachother, the coach, and the school. /rant. [/QUOTE]
