[QUOTE="The Bell Tolls for Thee, post: 132205960, member: 1812660"] Stewart inherited a very functional program that RR built. He did have a measure of success, but definitely underperformed with what he inherited compared to RR and Nehlen. Let's also not forget that 6 games every year for Stew were against teams on the same level as the Big 12 doormat teams. Ultimately you did not address the entire point of my post. Any coach that definitively states he will NOT even consider a staff shake up when you lose 4 games with a defense giving up an average of less than 2 scores per game is objectively not capable of doing what is necessary to succeed at a high level. Stewart didn't dance around the subject, he openly declared he would not even consider moving on from Jeff Mullen who has 3 consecutive years of steady offensive decline. You do not have to be an ******* to be a good coach, but you do have to be able to cut staff loose who cannot get the job done even if they are good people. Stewart just didn't have the heart to do that. [/QUOTE]
