re: Greg Schiano has Rutgers 3-0 - same guy UT ran off for Pruitt

You either hire an elite coach or it doesn’t matter. There’s no such thing as hiring a guy to “stabilize the program and roster”. There’s always going to be too much turnover and toxicity around the program when you have to fire someone. That is unless you’re Kentucky and your fan base let’s you rebuild for 10 years.

This is correct. If Schano was winning 8-9 games a year like many here are proclaiming he would be a shoe in to do he would be squarely on the hot seat by this year which would be year 4. Butch had back to back 9 win seasons in year 3 and 4 and was heavily on the hot seat going in to year 5 and obviously totally collapsed under the pressure.

The fan base/media is a huge pressure cooker, sometimes unfairly and over the top, and we have already seen how poorly he deals with criticism/outside adversity in Tampa.

He’s in a great spot with no expectation o4 push back and where he can slowly build it up organically.
