Exactly. You can't blame Rick Ray for wanting the job and getting hired. That's not his fault . Support him through next season . I think if he goes 7-11 or better in year 3 or signs Newman he will be guaranteed a 4th year . If the wheels fall off again like they have the past two seasons ( long painful losing streaks) than yes it will be time to hammer Stricklin for completely going out on his own and botching this hire. If Ray shows signs of turning this thing around then kudos to Rick and Mr Stricklin. We don't need to make this a who was right on a message board competition. We will know in the next 10 months if this thing is going to work out . Let this thing play out and support the program until it plays out
