I totally disagree.  JB is at his peak right now.  The recruiting has never been better, 5 stars as backups.  And JB is adjusting, he is learning to play a deeper bench.  Plus JB/SU are providing the ground work for a succession pattern.  Hop is being groomed to keep the program humming.  It has taken a lot of hard work and consistent winning to get to this new level.  Don't give it up under some heat.
 
The media is unusually intense right now.  Ride out the worst and it will get better.  Don't let the media win and give up this overall plan.  They are throwing 20 years worth of dirt at him right now.  ESPN and Yahoo have finished their investigations.   Ride it out.  Yes, JB runs a loose ship, but he hasn't done anything wrong.  And the wrongs of the players and ex-coaches are spanning decades.  It's manufactured to look worse than it really is.  Ride it out and stick with the plan.  SU is so close to being an upper elite program and a plan is in place to make it happen.
 
If anything, I think this will give JB the resolve to coach a few more years.  He would want to go out like this, title or not.  You wouldn't want it to look like you are running away.  It appears that JB is setting this program up to be elite.  You don't leave under a cloud or the whole plan becomes unraveled.
 
As for this year, it ain't over.  Us against the world.  The underdog.  Could be special if a deep run is made.  There is this favorable draw ahead, one game at a time.
