I had a dream last night that Collins, Stansbury, and Thacker have all hatched a plan.
The idea is this - Stansbury and Collins agreed last year to try to both save their jobs. Collins has been intentionally throwing the last several games, all of the blowouts.
Today, he will step down as head coach to be a defensive coordinator; Thacker will take the head coaching job. Collins and Stansbury both believe that the rest of our games are winnable (with the exception of a few). Thacker will be a hero after leading us to 8 wins and a bowl bid.
After the season, Stansbury will talk about the progress and offer Thacker the head coaching job while allowing Collins to stay on as DC. Everyone gets to keep their job (including key).
Now this was all from a dream, but my dreams have been quite reliable in the past. iiwii
