Anybody that thinks coaches won’t come here because of unrealistic expectations

Isn’t paying attention. Florida is about ready to move on from Napier after just 2 years, even though they’re vastly ahead of where we are. Even lsu fans are getting tired of Kelly in year 2 and he just won the west! We are a very mild fan base compared to most groups who want to win. Firing Pittman this year would not scare anyone off who would be good at the job

Florida and LSU have the resources to have those expectations. Coaches go there knowing they can win national championships if they’re good enough.
I don’t think we have unrealistic expectations though.

I think this question goes to what are the expectations. Pittman only lost my support when it became clear we weren't gonna be good enough to make a bowl in year 4. I don't think above .500 and bowl eligibility is an extreme set of expectations....

Until the UofA opens up the checkbook expect a BLJ hire.

We don't have a desirable Job. We have a weak recruiting footprint, routinely the toughest schedule in the nation, and a passionate fanbase that expects to win.
The notion that someone would come here because they want a challenge is delusional. None of us would take a harder job over an easy job with all other things being equal.
That means we have to overpay to get someone decent. HY's MO is the opposite of that. That leaves unproven up and comers and guys with baggage. We could certainly end up with worse that Pittman but I think everyone is ready to roll the dice.

If it’s unrealistic to want to watch games on Saturday and believe:
1) you have a chance or are going to win
2) not think you are out going to be our coached
3) mentally fragile and shoot yourself in the foot over and over, which inevitably causes losses.
4) you don’t want to take your foot off the gas and end up losing
Then I have unrealistic expectations, but those are the same expectations I have for Basketball and baseball and those coaches seem to meet and exceed them.

No coach cares about that. They all think they will be different
