The growing sentiment among whom is there needs to be a change?

What fan base doesn’t think it’s time for change? Except, of course, after championships or unexpected runs like Loyola of Chicago, Florida Gulf Coast or George Mason.

It’s always “Fire the coach” or “Bring in the Second String QB” or “We should have gone for it on 4th Down”.

When this doesn’t work, The fans say, “Whadda you listen to me for. I’m just a fan?”

The fan’s assumption is that finding someone who will do better is going to be easy. They think, “We couldn’t be worse off.”

Until we are. Replacing JB is going to be a huge crap shot for SU. The basketball program really is the goose that lays the golden egg. For years it’s been keeping the football program and the rest of the Athletic Department afloat. A few years ago they wanted to schedule more Away BB games but couldn’t do it because they needed to offset lower than expected football revenue.

Given the gravity of this decision, I don’t think Wildhack can listen to a bunch of impatient guys in $25 Orange T-shirts hollering, “Let’s roll the dice!”

Because he knows that if the coaching change doesn’t produce better results, those guys who have been hollering will be off doing something else or will be saying, “What did you listen to me for? I’m just a fan.”
