I'll eat crow, but with what we are losing and the schedule that old Joe gave us next year. I would be ecstatic with 8-4



If by ecstatic you mean bitch and moan all year long, then yea probably

What does this even mean? I'm not defending O, but we weren't even targeting the best. We went after really good Fisher and high potential Herman, but not the best. If we wanted the best, we would have targeted a coach that was consistently putting his team in the top 5 or so every year. Fisher might be close to that and Herman might get there soon, but we didn't have a list of the top 3 or 4 proven best college FB coaches as our candidates.

We also clearly weren't willing to pay for the best, or do what it takes to get the best. You can lure the best here with big dollars and full control, like we did with Saban. None of that was on the table.

Getting 'the best' was not a priority in this coaching search at all.

Based on the Miles experience, no. There will be a faction waiting for him to slip, so they can bring out the knives. And they're willing to wait as long as necessary.

If I were an O supporter from the very beginning and knew he had the goods, I would be ecstatic right now. If you know he's great, all we have to do is wait for the greatness to unfold, right?

I wonder why so many of the people that wanted him are instead indignant and so defensive.

I'm ready to accept now. O did nothing wrong here and anyone who wants to see him fail is an a-hole.
