[QUOTE="TruWVblu, post: 129401851, member: 1797404"] top teams that is upsetting to many, but the fact that we now expect to lose those games, and how we are losing them. I have read thread after thread of even those who are supportive of Holgorsen, saying that we should have expected to lose the last four games. That is hard to accept as far as I am concerned. I am fully aware that the Big 12 is a very tough conference and conference championships will be few and far between, but we should always have reason to believe we can win these games. Also, under Holgorsen, we have lost 12 games by 20 or more points, with 6 of those being over 30 point loses. We have appeared very unprepared and undisciplined in many games over the past 5 years. By the way, Stewart only lost one game by over 20 points. And before you chalk all of that up to the excuse of stronger opponents, which is a cop out in my opinion, two of those 20+ loses came at the hands of Syracuse and one to Maryland, teams that Stewart played every year. I only compare his tenure to Stewart's because many of you like to bash Stewart every chance you get. I am not trying to bash anyone who supports Holgorsen. We should all have hoped he would be successful. Like many have said, it is risky replacing coaches, as you never know how things will go, but there comes a time when that change needs to take place. In my opinion, when a fan base begins to expect to lose to four of the conference teams and hangs their hopes to wins in their final five games in a coaches 5th season, just to become mediocre, that time has come.
