[QUOTE="ITIllini, post: 1176073, member: 30045"] In my opinion, we took a big swing with JG hoping we would hit a home run. At the time, I thought it was a good hire and thought that he would succeed, especially with recruiting. He was given a great job and opportunity along with A LOT of money. When employees are paid that kind of money, the employer has reason to expect results. When he was hired, I don't think the expectations were that we wanted to be sweating come Selection Sunday. We were looking for someone that would elevate us from mediocrity. I guess it depends on what fan expectations were for this year's team without injuries, but I felt that we would be a mediocre bubble team. Not only would I say that have not risen above mediocrity, I would say that we have trended down even more. I fully support our players, the program, and the university, but it is really hard to "enjoy the game" the way it is currently being played. I even like JG on a personal level. Unfortunately, it is a business decision and I don't feel that it is working out for him here. It isn't like he will be living out of a cardboard box if we let him go. He will continue to make a lot of money from the UI or someone else. [/QUOTE]
