Message: [QUOTE="Chip, post: 412150, member: 19"] And it doesn't take the entire situation into effect. Sometimes programs just get stale under a coach. Doesn't mean he can't coach, just means it isn't working anymore. And if you keep him (because the next guy might not be better), you lose fan interest, you lose donations, ticket sales. Best case you run in place. One of the only coaches to consistently recover from stale periods was Paterno. Phil Fulmer wasn't likely to. Jeff Tedford will be another example after this season. It's up to the school to find the right hire. Which, as we know, is not an exact science. Changing to a worse coach doesn't mean you shouldn't have changed. It means you should have picked a better coach. [/QUOTE]
