The 6 win statement is me, but given our performance over the last 20 years, I have a very hard time thinking that we’ll pull a Gross/Nancy and fire a coach in a year we go to a bowl. Also to clarify, I never said DB shouldn’t come back next year. I agree that JW is correct, and anyone predicting his demise this year is crazy.* But DB’s return next year doesn’t mean he was anointed a saint. They’re two different arguments, and trying to turn him into one is odd. (I have no idea if you’re one of the posters who is trying to reinvent history/facts to make DB into a larger-than-life figure or not. My statement about odd behavior is a general statement, not one targeted at you specifically.)This thread is about JW stating that Dino is coming back next year no matter what. It's not just about hardcore fans on one side of the aisle. I was not able to read the article from yesterday, did JW state 6 games or bust in there or is 6 games your number? It's a bit strange that in a thread that the AD says Dino is fine, that fans are fighting saying he shouldn't when the AD is saying otherwise. Simply neither side of the hardcore base will concede to the other. This thread is like the old Miller Light commercials...GREAT TASTE!...no its LESS FILLING!...no it's GREAT TASTE!...it's LESS FILLING! and so on.
*Though I think it’s somewhat reasonable to argue whether or not he **should** be back next year, esp. if it’s framed in a hypothetical where we have deep pockets, as that’s more of an argument over whether JW is right and not an argument over whether he’s telling the truth. (I think DB should. For starters, the buyout would be crippling, and even in a fictitious scenario where we have deep pockets, the optics of dropping a coach in 2020 are poor in my eyes.)
