[QUOTE="GoWVU, post: 129380536, member: 1457561"] I'd like to see some data on this point if you have any rather than just accepting it as fact. When did Luck ever say we were "ready" to compete consistently for national championships? I do recall him saying we were NOT headed in that direction under Stewart, but that Luck [B]wanted[/B] us to be. Like you, I am not at all in favor of mid-season coaching changes under most circumstances. I also agree it's totally unrealistic to fire someone just because they're not competing for national championships. However, I do think it's totally reasonable to fire someone if they seem unable to be even within shouting distance of a [I]conference[/I] championship by this point--in the specific context of where the program was when hired and why a change was made. That's not to say the coach needs to win one, but we should look like we are [U]capable[/U] of winning one in peak years. Taking up permanent residence in the bottom half of the league doesn't meet that standard. Fantastic, well-thought post overall. [/QUOTE]
