[QUOTE="ChiefGritty, post: 1432118, member: 746137"] Purdue fired Danny Hope after four years and Darrell Hazell after four years to get to Jeff Brohm Syracuse fired Greg Robinson after four years, lost Doug Marrone to the NFL after four, and fired Scott Shafer after three years to get to Dino Babers Washington State fired Bill Doba after five years and Paul Wulff after four to get to Mike Leach Stanford fired Buddy Teevens after three years and Walt Harris after two to get to Jim Harbaugh (and his then-OC David Shaw) You're just completely, unequivocally wrong. There's not really anything else to add to that. And again, it's just painful how many times we've trodden this exact same territory as a fanbase. But of course, it's never that Lou Tepper should have been allowed to coach forever, or Turner, or Zook, or Beckman, no no no, THIS guy is the one who will reward infinite patience in the face of obvious, un-ignorable incompetence and unsuitability for the job. And I'm saying this as a Lovie supporter. It's just such a poor argument. [/QUOTE]
