Great day!!!!

Goodness gracious it is hard to get our fan base to be excited about anything. "Great day!!" followed by countless points of doom and gloom. We do not need a new coach, we need new fans.

That is true. I am not sure the next time we will have UF, TN, and TX on the ropes. But maybe that will be LSU, Bama, and Ole Miss next year. Let's get it.

Since the passing of Leach, our fanbase has been in "show me" mode. Really since the day Arnett fired the offensive staff we have been in show me mode.
Good will is earned, not simply from getting new players. We want to see sacks, interceptions, long RB runs, and efficient passing with deep shot TDs. More or less, we want to see what Indiana did this year.

I get that, but we had a lot of that this year and over achieved by most standards. I do not get the expectations during a full rebuild. I know that hiring Arnett was a mistake but we were much improved this year and are doing some good things in the portal. Lebby finally made a move at DC and Arnett is a good DC regardless of what people think of him as a head coach... A little positivity should go a long way, but our fan base shoots it down as soon as they see it.
