Well put. Change has to happen.

Credit to JB... he built a program that was not good, GREAT for years at a small, private school in the Northeast. Not the easiest place to recruit kids to, but he found a way and for that he should be commended. However, I don't believe that give him, or anyone else the "right" (like many fans are arguing) to stick around and ruin that same program he built. It makes no sense and it has to end.

There is no light at the end of the tunnel with JB at the helm. The last final four team was now over 5 years ago. The only thing the program has going for it since then is two improbable sweet 16 runs with bubble teams. They have been middle of the pack to lower end in the ACC for 7 years.

They have lost non conference games at home in the recent seasons to Colgate, Old Dominion, a 33 point loss to a bad St. Johns team, St. Bonnaventure, Buffalo. They've lost to Georgetown (an awful program now) 4 times since 2015-2016. They aren't even competitive at times against other P5 non-con opponents- Okie St in Barclays. VCU this year. Oregon in the Garden. Just to name a few.

Its not too long ago this program was top 10-15 programs in the country from 2008-2013ish. Now its slowly declining but many people think we should let the decline continue under JB. I just don't get it.
