arguendo,The issue of the seven (7) games lost by the 10 NFL-bound 2014 Canes has been debated ad nauseaum: It's because Al Golden & Crew game day coaching sucks, they do not put the players in position to be successful, they're playing patty cake, no press D, passive D, etc...beating that dead horse.
The reality of the aforementioned cause is that Al Golden will be gone for 2016, whether it'd be due to being hired away (after 9 plus wins) or fired (8 or less wins).
Having laid that out without equivocation, the next Head Guy to come may well scrap much of the processes put in place by the fired and outgoing staff, including Andreu. We'd be starting from scratch as new Head man would find an atmosphere rife with over-correction; one that he exploits to his advantage in buying more time by wanting to prove that the departed regime did everything wrong... and he needs the years to correct and clean it all up before all traces of the old culture can be disappeared and swept away.
When an entity doesn't recognize and treasure its strengths while going through much internal struggle and incessant strife within its stakeholders -- ending in leadership change -- the prevailing party/side (in ousting the old regime) do so by not only depicting the unacceptable failures of said old regime, but by showing very low regard for the strengths and achievements of the forced out regime (and basically UM system), if not showing zero recognition altogether.
that is still a risk worth taking ultimately. In light of the failures of this regime, you seem to be suggesting that we don't fire ag at all- for sake of some conjured upheaval that may or may not be forthcoming, but to be considered and avoided, provided the next hire is a worthy one.
nope.
sorry there blue skies, your initial qualifications don't support your implied conclusion.
Elaborate or stop with the apologist's lament.
Sounds a lot of fluff words for a weak argument.
Al Golden should be fired and that's my belief and hope. I'd prefer that he'd take a job elsewhere thus leaving UM under ideal circumstances and a solid '15 win record to build on. Hiring Butch would be ideal under both scenarios as he would certainly strengthen the productive processes in place while hiring the great coaches under his stewardship, as he has hired in the past. This UM Admin & BOT may not hire Butch nor an NFL-fired Chip Kelly, but opt for one those young up and comers, with that program builder reputation. New coach might scrap every thing, as his build up, and still suck but just not as much as Golden....and the vicious cycle of mediocrity continues.
