Message: [QUOTE="Pyle, post: 2358540, member: 137"] Here's what it boils down to IMO. You said substantial progress. I think that's like saying Kate Upton is sort of attractive. It's been more than substantial. Last year he brought in a graduate transfer WR who barely saw the field for his prior team and made him one of the best WRs in the country. At the beginning of the year, we kept hearing posters claiming we are really missing AET. Now Ishmael has made AET a distant memory. We have set almost every single passing record in the history of the school in the past two years. We have knocked off a top 25 team each of Baber's years on campus and we had the most significant win in the Dome since 1984 happen this year. Recruiting looks better that it has in years. But that's not all, what else do you have for them Bob? How about a team that's been competitive against every single team we've played this year. MTSU was a damn fluke, Shafer got in the heads of everybody and somehow black magic'ed his way to some bizarro win. Looking at the body of work from the rest of this season shows a team on the brink of greatness. I started this season with the attitude that Dino needs to be held accountable now, no more Shafer excuses. Well that works both ways. We are competitive to a degree we haven't seen in a long time on the road. We have one of the nation's most improved defenses(this was huge for me). We are setting school offense records every time we take the field. People are excited about SU football, and I don't just mean the locals. One more point, Dino has fled both of his last gigs after 2 years. Based on the way we are playing, it's not completely unrealistic to think we could win out. If we do I don't care what Dino's buyout is, some 10 gallon hat, 3lb belt buckle, oil mogul or whatever could probably pay the whole thing in one big donation. Losing Dino at this point in the rebuild would be disastrous. [/QUOTE]
