I think it is naive to think this in year four. Maybe from the AD but I don’t believe so from the fans. For example, I talked to a former Sheridan player recently and he was ready to wash his hands of DD.

3 seasons and 3 games is IMO too short a time to judge a coach rebuilding a program. Montgomery stepped into a relatively stable program. Fedora did also. Doeren did not.

I said it badly about how we play verses the record. I had in mind playing 6 teams in the top 25 at the start of the season. Were we in the Coastal Div our conference record would be a more valid measurement for acceptable progress.

If the program is as bad as some say it is, we are in for a new HC who will get 3 years to become a top 25 team. Then wash, rinse, repeat. If the program is in good shape, get behind the guy the 4th and 5th year.

If we fire every coach we hire who does not rise to the top of the Atlantic Division at the start of his 4th year, we might as well disband football and spend the money on soccer, LaX and field hockey.
