Of course they are, it doesn't fit your narrative
Suggesting anything other than "it's over" or "Ollie has to go" or "the sky is falling" is all useless. Nothing else matters, daring to have a little perspective is just unacceptable.
The one thing you have right is that it's no predictor of future events, wasn't meant to be. The biggest difference is not the fact that experience is the world's greatest teacher, that's still true today. The biggest difference is that we have social media and an instant gratification society. Many great coaches would have been run out of town before they were given a chance to be successful.
At the end of the day, Ollie's not going anywhere anyhow, so I suppose y'all can choose to scream at the sky if it makes you feel better.
Hey willie, you're preaching to the wrong choir here. I've largely been what some here have described as a "pollyanna".
I still don't put much stock in side-by-side coaching comparisons, especially from different eras.
Due to last season's injury epidemic, I have often stated I'm willing to give Ollie this season to turn things around. I will likely be looking for a change if he can't make that happen. I also agree that it's going to be very difficult financially to get rid of him, even if the AD wants to.
