Message: [QUOTE="Archbold44, post: 5546477, member: 10528"] #1, appeasing the fans IS part of his job. We are the ones that decide whether to buy tickets or watch the game. If I prefer to NOT watch the same story play out week after week, that is my choice. If he wants me to watch the game, so that the AD can make more money, so that he can get paid more and have more resources... then I would recommend a product with [B]hope [/B]for something. I am not demanding a win. I am just demanding hope... which Rickie cannot provide. At this point, I would just like to see us not being blown out before the 4th quarter. #2 I am also demanding to not see the same terrible story over and over again. The beauty of sports is that it is not supposed to be scripted. I am not supposed to KNOW that on 1st and 1 from the 1... we will NOT score. I am not supposed to KNOW that on 3rd and 1 from anywhere, Rickie is not picking up that first down and neither will Nixon or Willis out of the backfield. This is the worst offense that I have seen since GRob's first year. No excuse. Nixon is not a rookie OC. Nixon has "his" offense. Rickie has an offense that would suit him. These two offenses clearly do not align. Perhaps changing QBs will force Nixon to try something else. #3 Who said anything about expectations? We have a kid just out of high school. We do not expect him to have a QBR of 150. But can the kid get his own game of 10 drives to see what he can do with his arm and feet??? The bar is absurdly low. GRob's 2005 team went 1-10 and scored 11 PPG in its losses. Can we get 10 points before the half? Can we get 3 FGs and a TD to score 20 in a game? #4 I am resigned to a season of 3, 4, or 5 wins. My over/under was 5.5. You cannot play Tennesee, Clemson, ND, Georgia Tech, SMU, and Miami on the road and expect to win more than 1. I did not think we could get the monkey off our back against Pitt... and was very worried about Duke given what they did last year and who they added. I figured 1-5 on the road... and either 4-2 or 5-1 at home. 4-2 at home is still on the table. Edit: #5. If a guy struggles this year and it ruins his career emotionally, good riddance. I worry more about injuries than hurt feelings/ego. Dungey and Haynes King type guys are needed. Not people who need to take their cat to the grocery store for companionship... [/QUOTE]
