I don't. As long as he keeps incompetent assistant coaches around him, that's true. A head coach is only as good as his assistants allow him to be. Get rid of the dead weight on our coaching staff, replace them with seasoned, high-quality ones, and watch the results.
If this had been the staff he started with, I would be inclined to agree. But, he's made changes, and they haven't worked.
When did we make a MNC appearance, win the Heisman, and a conference championship in the past decade?
Those changes were not the right ones. And hopefully he's able to see that. If not, he'll retain Beck, Cotton, Garrison, Papuchis, and Els, and it will be essentially a wish to get fired.
Such a bittersweet day, winning a game like that and the reward is another season of football purgatory.
If advantages are all it takes to win 9 games each year, then tell me why only 5 have done it. Are you truly saying NU has infinitely more resources and/or advantages than anyone else? I am not sure what to think right now, Knapp's post was as close as I can come to explaining my feelings, but trying to mitigate a fact that only 5 out thousands have accomplished is like spitting into the wind. The bigger issue in my mind is how the heck does a Coach who is good enough to accomplish the rarest of feats have such a poor side to his record as well?
I believe what LOMS is doing - what a lot of us are doing - is trying to put it all in context.
It's pressure. There is nothing on the line after dropping every game that mattered. Pelini's team crap the bed whenever there is something worth playing for, and show guts and grit when there is nothing left to lose.
