How bout a board answering to the shareholders for hiring a CEO with no CEO experience at tenured CEO market rate and then asking them to wait 4 years for him to take the company to the next level... and use him being the Asian COO of a successful company who had a rockstar CEO as your support and reasoning??? While the company appears to be in a tailspin.

This isn't a tailspin. Mass transfers, bad recruiting, on and off-field chaos is a tailspin. We're two years of this away from a tailspin.

And this has been my problem. As far as I know, we are one of the very, very few major Universities that hire Coordinators with no head coaching experience. (Florida did it once with Muschamp) I think we got our eye on the shiny new toy in the box and just couldn't allow anybody else to get him.

Which brings up something else I have been wondering. Muschamp has South Carolina doing ok. Not great, but probably better than last year. I wonder how Kirby would be doing had we let him go there. Obviously speculation. Without the glare of the spotlight and extra pressure, he might be doing better.

In fairness, most on here have said we should see a lot of improvement next year. I can see that, too. If we improve a lot next year, win the east in year 3 and win the conference in year 4.....I would be good with that, and I think you would, too.
