Being run out of town by Pat Forde, a Newhouse freshman asking about Benny Williams and other local media is not a respectful retirement.

Retiring respectfully is letting him retire on his time, which by all signals is fairly soon anyway.

People want to toss Autry and Gmac too? Blow the whole thing up? For what?  We suddenly trust Wildhack's judgment now? Unless its Mark Few or someone of that ilk, let the process play out.

JB is probably done in a year anyway. He has always said he would leave when it was no longer fun. Doesn't seem fun anymore does it? I'd guess he is as close to thinking about it as he has ever been.

If Jesse & Mintz return, next year could be pretty solid.

Not sure if its realistic anymore or not, but I want him to go out on a high note. Not back to back 17 losses seasons.

I wish he had done it after that last Sweet 16. It would have been good for his boys to be coached by someone else.

If he wants a farewell tour, or one or two more chances, let him have it. If he wants 4 more years or a shot at coach K's record, then, yeah, I would rethink my position.

The team is competitive, just not closing games. Next year, if Mintz returns, and we get a suitable replacement for Jesse, they might be better at closing games.

The upside to him going out on a high note and on good terms is way more worth it to me, then sending him off to pasture because he is mean at pressers, and hoping someone can come in right away and return us to 87, instantly. The only coach who could do that would have to be as corrupt as they come. Ain't no way its happening on the up and up.
