OHHHHHHHHHH! I get it. You're trolling. Listen, repeating the same fallacy over and over again does not accomplish anything. Let's just save our breath and call it quits. Having said that, because arguing on the internet is fun, people were wrong when they said Shafer should get four years. They are NOT wrong when they say HCDB gets four years. It's because there is a distinction between those two coaches. The distinction is, HCSS was a continuity hire and he was coming off HCDM who turned the program around and HCDB is a rebuilding coach that needs time to build his program. Are you following me this far?

Breaking it down another way, HCSS wasn't allowed to have time to build his team because [I]he already had his team and players and system in place. [/I]You know that because he was supposed to provide, get this, [I]CONTINUITY[/I].

On the other hand, HCDB is not here to provide continuity. He is here to [I]rebuild[/I]. Rebuilding is different from continuity, you see. One implies that you're bad and need to change to become good again, and the other implies that you're good and want to continue on the same path. AS SUCH, he gets four years before I'll consider anything he does a failure. I have expectations of winning 9 games a season, so losing will not be tolerated forever. However, sometimes it's better to tolerate a little losing in the short term so you can win a lot in the long run.
