Neither is dumb enough to gamble their reputation by promoting a guy that's only been a special teams coordinator for a few years

Rams just knocked it out of the park.

IF Currie and Schultz are forced into making Sean the head coach there's basically 3 possible outcomes. He succeeds, he fails, we're stuck in mediocrity forever. The absolute worst possible scenario for us as fans would be if he took over and had a string of 6-6/7-5 seasons because our fanbase would want to keep him forever then, simply because he's Bill's son. If he somehow turns out to be a good head coach, well, I guess we'd have a good head coach. If he sucks, then it turns into the situation OK St. and TXTech had in basketball with Sutton and Knight. It may take a bit longer to get rid of them because they'll get an extra year or 2, but when they are gone it allows the AD to work with a completely clean slate.

Wow, I bet unleashthemob is an absolute joy to be around in real life.

usually yes, but after hearing all the tuck talk lately, I'm scared as hell...people this kinda talk is coming from people who donate large sums of money, and that scares me

I'd be fine with 7 win seasons and a 9 or 10 win season every 3 or 4 years.

Anything more would be pretty unreasonable, imo.

Yes. Whatever the football equivalent of 20/10/4 is. Would be perfectly alright with me.

this is why this season is such a disaster, we aren't going to win anything meaningful and the love the obz is getting is just inching us closer to HCSS.

I think the football equivalent to that would be nine win seasons.

That's understating my expectations for the long term a little bit.  I would be happy with averaging 9 win seasons with the occasional 7 win or 11 win season and a legitimate run at the NC every 6 or 7 years.  I don't think there's any reason we can't be like Virginia Tech.  The hardest part to sustaining that success would be either continuing to find good coaches after they have success here and leave for bigger programs, or alternatively finding a LHC Bill Snyder/Frank Beamer that decides to stay for the long haul.

There's too many retards on this board that apparently think we need keep demanding coaching searches until we're a perennial top 10 team and competing for a NC every few years.  I understand and appreciate the "demand excellence" midset, but that's just not reasonable for a program with our resources.  There's a short list of teams in the nation that can reasonably expect that (USC, Texas, OU, Alabama, LSU, Michigan, etc.) and we'll never be one of them for a number of reasons.

Keep demanding?  We haven't even had one with a competent UP and AD.  Weefer handing the job back to OB doesn't count
