The fact that we might do worse after firing Pelini is a legitimate reason to keep Pelini.
Medicority can be a plus, because we may do worse?
Just the simple fact that we as fans have lowered our own personal thoughts about this program that we think we may not be able to bring in a coach who can provide us a conference title, or even a BCS appearance, is incredible.
Use stats. Use whatever. But this arguing point is one of the most embarrassing things to continue to be used by this fan base in regards to Pelini.
It's not a reason to keep Pelini. It's an excuse. A horrible one at that.
I'm now crawling back into my hole and away from Pelini-geddon.
