You can't make this stuff up.  The consensus heading into last season - with two of our three best players recovering from serious injuries and four other expected contributors transferring or decommitting - was that Ollie needed to make the tournament to save his job.  And that was [I]before [/I]our second best player went down for the season after five games, a stretch that left us 4-1 and very much in the mix for a tournament spot.

But now, with that player back, and everyone else of note a year older and better (Larrier was a net negative player last season FYI), and two potential impact transfers plus a top 100 redshirt wing in the fold, it's going to take "something of a miracle to make the tournament."

That's rich.  Setting the bar at the field of 68 is a [I]conservative [/I]expectation.  Unless, of course, we don't think the coach is an upgrade.  Then we should expect them to continue to fall short of the expectations we set for the former head coach, in which case maybe we could have saved some money.
