Does anybody think we're tough on coaches? We had a quick trigger on Arnett, but that was a pretty unique situation for the hiring and firing. We fired Morehead fairly quickly, but if he had just kept players from embarrassing the school on the bowl trip, he'd have kept his job despite wasting one of the most talented teams we ever had and following it up with an underachieving year.
We let Jackie stick around for several years, we gave Croom five years without his side of the ball ever producing, Richard Williams was safe despite the fall off in performance if he had just been more selective about his extra curricular activities, we let Stansbury run his course and kept him on as an employee until his next job, we gave Rick Ray a third year even though his conference win percentage was 19.4% after the first two years; we gave Howland all the time he wanted.
