Message: [QUOTE="RF2044, post: 4559621, member: 40"] Nostalgia. JB is an all time great. He's also orchestrated a decline in program performance over a 9 year span, rapidly approaching a decade. And a year after producing the first losing season in his 47 year career, he's following it up with another poor season that's featured several behavioral meltdowns that have drawn embarrassing media coverage. I don't want the legacy of one of my sports heroes to be defined by the final decade of program slippage, and I don't want to see his career end in a trainwreck because he can't keep his mouth shut, a la Bobby Knight. But the longer he hangs around, the more likely either [or both] of those things come to pass. EDIT -- Let this sink in for a second -- for all of his accomplishments, despite being a HOFer and having 1000+ wins, the final 20% of his career he's only won about 58% of his games and is hovering around .500 in conference play. 20%!!!
