But O's failure at Ole miss 10 years ago doesn't have dick to do with this team or this program.

It’s not the end all be all, but it’s his only other HC experience we have to go on. Until proven otherwise, he is a failure as a HC.

As long as we don't have a 4-8 like season, O will get 3 years to prove himself just like every coach ever hired gets. After the 3 years, the cards will lie where they have fallen and either O has us going in the right direction or he'll be stuck in neutral and we'll be on to the next guy. Either way, O should be given the opportunity to show us what he can do.

I don’t agree. I don’t think there’s anyway he is fired after this year barring some serious scandal, but I don’t know that he’s guaranteed 3 years. I think two 7-5 seasons and both him and Alleva are gone. In my mind, he had his chance to win the job and he failed.
