Insanity is what Dave Braine, who kept Beamer and saddled us with Hewitt's contract, is all about. Dooley left VT under a cloud of controversy and Beamer (a popular VT alum) was given time, like Gailey was, to fix it. The real question is whether this offense can work at a BCS school without the recruiting. Chan eventually figured it out and I think Johnson will too, but so far, we haven't seen his players (which were on the field this year) be able to physically compete with strong/big teams.
I don't think any of us are calling for his head, but if we can't win pissant bowl games and compete with Georgia over the next couple of years, the logical conclusion will be that he isn't the right fit given both his own recruiting and on field performance. Six years is enough to determine whether it is working. So far, we're beating the teams that Chan did, having one or two big wins per year, and losing games at the end of the year just like Chan. The difference being that we've had Mississippi State and Kansas as our big OOC opponents instead of Auburn and Notre Dame.
In the meantime, our best players seem to be leaving as soon as they can, even when they aren't predicted to be drafted. That's the downside of CPJ's system, on offense, it doesn't help the players looking at the NFL.
We're not his enemies, we're the canary in the mine. If the problems don't get fixed in the next couple of years, it will be time to move on. That's a lot more time than Gill, Neuheisel, and a host of other coaches have been given. What more do you want? Blind faith will only take you so far.
