OK, I'll play

1. Yes, after the SU game I wanted him fired. To see a team that much weaker than ND beat us killed me.

2. I think content might be the right word. If ND couldn't bring in an A list coach, I was 100% behind keeping CW. If ND had found a great hire waiting in the wings, I would have been 100% behind that guy. The poor bastard works his ass off, gets ND, and recruits like a sonofabitch. He's got more warts than everyone here put together, but at least he works his ass off.

3. It's hard for me to judge what a "good season" means. I've coached average teams that have caught every break known to man, and I've coached excellent teams that didn't catch a f&%*in' break. Like porno, I'll know it when I see it. My judgement of a good season is around 10-2. I don't care what the record ends up, I think I'll know by December of this year if CW has things going where we want them to go. For shits and giggles, I'll say 60%.

4. I've typed this one million times, but I'll type it again. The goal isn't to win a NC, it's to compete for a NC. Competing for a NC is what we all want. Winning one takes a shitload of luck and a shitload of great players. The SOB recruits like a madman, so I expect the future to look very good. If he fails, I'd sell my soul to get a chance to coach what he leaves behind. (um, they won't be calling me). So to answer the question: 2009: 3%. If he has a great season in 2009, the future....: 10%.

5. I like the changes so far. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. If it is broke, fix it. Sometimes a new asst coach can come in, and whether or not he's better than the previous coach, the new blood leads to a different result.
