Meh, the devil is in the details. Kentucky is better than Mizzou. Apart from Houston, Louisville wasn't blown out in any game this year, and even still, the Houston game was far less embarrassing for Louisville than the Auburn game was for us. Louisville has holes, but they aren't nearly as gaping as ours. For us, this isn't a matter of getting over the hump in a few games or the ball not bouncing our way. Each loss we had was decisive and showed HUGE weaknesses.

We've shown that as a program, we can get a top 5 coach to come here. So if Bert doesn't get it done, it's time to move on.

At this point, I'm done melting. Bert is sticking around because of his huge buyout, so to me, there is no point being in a continuous rage for three consecutive years. So I'm going to sit back with arms folded and wait him out. Hopefully he's smart enough to use this extra time to right the ship. If he hasn't fixed anything by the time his buyout amount drops, give him the boot. While it's going to be shitty to sit around and watch us suck, if he hasn't righted the ship by then, it means that he wasn't able to get it done in 6 years. That's VERY generous by Power 5 standards, and won't scare off any potential candidates.

There's entirely too much common sense and logic in your post.

While I'm not, and never have been sold on Bert, I'll let him have plenty of time to build his program. I said when he was hired that he has the coaching capabilities that are in between dale nutt and BMFP. I stand by that.

Though I appreciate Bret's confidence in his offense and his courage to go for it on fourth down, he needs to take into consideration that a couple of field goals can win games like this.

That's one reason I'm not mad at the guy, he's trying to win going away when conservative can get it done.He needs to find a happy medium.
