Message: [QUOTE="Towney007, post: 2497220, member: 5832"] Well as much of an anti-Ollie guy as i've been there's a political reality you can't fire him in season. I'd explore available options. Get feelers on interested replacements. I'd track real progress in the program.Try to see where meaningful progress is being made. How much of the lack of success is due to coaching and leadership and how much is just due to this team not being very good and never having a shot to be very good. What would another year of Ollie with this group + recruits look like this year and next vs. what it looks like with someone NOT Ollie and this group. Can this group be better with better or different coaching? B/C that's the catch with me and Ollie. I actually DO think he can be a good coach - a really, really, really goo coach. But is he there. now. To be a good coach at this level? And lead *this group* to better things? I personally err to 'no,' but the answer is bigger than that. And that's before you get to the financials of it all. Because that's the next reality you have to deal with. Firing an alum. Of the program. That's done so good by you and has been so ferociously loyal. To be clear- I think i'm ready for a change. but just becuase I am, doesn't mean the program is. And what that all looks like. It's a massive decision. [/QUOTE]
