Message: [QUOTE="Matrim55, post: 2477386, member: 3376"] How so? KO has never won the conference, just had the first losing season in 30 years here, has missed the tourney two out of the last three years, had a raft of 4-star players transfer/decommit, forced out a top, long-time assistant in ugly fashion, and just guided the team to their biggest loss in 40 years... and he's fine. There are no protests, most commentaries have been rational, and the expectation is "hey, just make the tourney and you're still our guy." People aren't chanting "Fire Ollie!" at games, they're not hurling abuse at him and his players, etc etc etc. The bar is not unreasonably high. So in no possible sense can that be considered "eating our young." And I'm happy about that! We shouldn't be s to him or these kids. But we should expect winning seasons near the top of the conference, some stability and in-game improvement. None of that's happened, but there are still tons of folks out there defending him. It's a good job and the fanbase will rally around anybody who gets us to the top of the AAC and into the second weekend of the tourney every other year. [/QUOTE]
