Curious to see what people think. I’m not one that wants to see him gone just yet. I think there are two factors gaining steam that, apart from his W/L record, will drive the inevitable ‘parting of ways’.
One is people just wanting something different. It’s pretty clear this sentiment is building in the fanbase and the rise of UGAg and Clemson are exacerbating it. Also, ten years is a helluva long time to be head coach at one school anymore, never mind fifteen.
The other is the simple fact that he can’t coach forever and is certainly no spring chicken. I would think fiscal comfort also goes a long way in this case. How long could you possibly want to work that kind of grind?
Also up for consideration in my mind is how many DC’s do you get before you go down with the ship? I think this is probably it. If there is not significant improvement from the defense over the next 3 years, I think it’s all over but the crying, as they say. That said, it would be hard to be a lot worse. So... IIWII.
