I know. See that crowd down there for the bowl game? The sheer number of season tickets being sold? Dude is here for at least three more years. I just hope it clicks for him. As much as I hate his charlatan ass, if he could just get out of the way I would be OK. But he cannot. /sigh
People will scream about expectations, then talk themselves into thinking a winning record against the second half of the schedule is something to be proud of.
Without .500 or worse seasons consecutively, the countdown for his departure is his natural or unnatural death. That is not a threat, it is an observation.
If we do, his support will evaporate. Unfortunately, most would be back on board after the five free wins at the end of the schedule.
I wish our schedule was flipped. Would love to see us go 7-0 every year and then watch him drop 4 of 5. Same results but with a much worse after taste. Also would make the season far more interesting if we were to go 4-1 to end the season.
I wonder how many coaches newer than Butch in the SEC have to elevate their programs above ours before people realize he can't do it.
I think more than we give credit for realize that. Now, whether they care or not is a different story. But I'm starting to think they do, and will moreso if attendance starts to fall.
