Wrong. Lots of us were concerned that we were much more likely to be worse than better if we got rid of CPJ, and that's looking pretty accurate at this point.
The settling for mediocrity thing is ööööing stupid. Everybody wants to win more games, but running off the head coach is not always the answer. In fact, it's how you end up losing to Citadel. We took a big fat dump on the only thing that's kept us relevant in the midst of a major culture shift in which our rivals dominated CFB, and decided to do a 180 purely for the sake of change.
I hope I'm wrong and Collins turns out to be the savior, but at this point he looks like Butch Jones with less talent, less fan support, and far less resources. If mediocrity means being competitive in all games not against top 3 opponents and not losing to an FCS team, sign me up.
