It's horse hockey to NOT expect a Head Coach to produce. If the HC got himself into the predicament of not being able to compete for a minor Bowl, much less a conference championship, it's his own fault.
My customers don't let me off the hook of, say, not having enough inventory because I didn't 'know' some would go bad.
U are accountable for what u DO & if the HC can't get the job done he needs to find a job he can get done, such as B Lewis coaching pro Dbacks.
The HC is responsible for the record the team produces. The reasons why a HC can't produce a winner comes by the thousands, but there are several other Head Coaches who can produce a winner @ GT.
