I'm sure some of you will be pissed that I created another Ollie thread, but I think it's important because seemingly every thread lately, no matter what the topic is, is turning into a clash of a "Fire KO" crowd vs "Everything is Fine" crowd.
Is it possible that some of us really badly want KO to succeed because we love KO, but if he keeps underperforming, perhaps it is understandable that decisions have to be made by AD Dave?
I don't understand why people make it out to be that you either hate KO/want him out, or you love him and want him to stay, like it's so black and white.
I love KO, and I really think he deserves a pass (for now) from last season due to injuries.
However, if we see minimal to no improvement next season with a healthy squad, then last year, and the losses to Wagner and Northeastern were no flukes.
I'm not going to sit here and act like I know the answers to "Who should coach this team?" and if we could even get someone better than KO, but some of you act like it's blasphemous to even consider KO's job if the team is bad again next year.
I'm sure there are many loons on here who are on either extreme of the spectrum (either hating KO and wanting him out or thinking that he has earned his job for eternity), but I would guess that the majority of the board loves KO, wants him to succeed, but understands that if the team is bad again next year then his job should be considered. I'm sure AD Dave is 10 steps ahead, considering what to do if things continue to go awry.
From now until March 2018, it's all eyes on KO. This is the biggest make or break season for the program I have ever seen. But I wouldn't be surprised to see KO let go if the team underperforms again. AD Dave seems like the kind of guy to make big, difficult and controversial decisions, as he did with the football team this year.
And for the record, if KO turns it around next year, surprises some people, and makes noise late in the season, then that will be the best thing he's done with the program, right up there with the national championship.
