Do you seriously still believe that we hired RR because we wanted him. I've heard he was our 8th offer and a desperation hire. But I digress.

I'm with you, 17 the media. I'm more concerned about our reputation in coaching circles.
From what I heard we hired Ray because Scott undercut our cigar boys. Kind of weird that we were able to hire Howland for the same position after thee awful seasons of Ray right?

And on that point despite Ray we now have s great basketball coach. Despite Coach O Ole Miss had 10 win seasons with Nutt and Freeze. I don't see is making much progress with Dan and even a bad hire for three years likely gets us closer to the next good one. In the past we've had interest from Steve Spurrier and Jimbo Fisher even though we were in much worse shape than now. Let Dan go.

And one thing about the media you probably haven't thought about is the reason they have the expectations for us that they do is because we tend to put up with more shit like what we've gone through this season. Most schools in the SEC don't put up with losing to South Alabama, Kentucky, giving up tons of yards to UMass and Samford and 50+ points to Alabama and Arkansas. We do. Because of fans like you who don't demand better.
