[QUOTE="Second and Chalmers, post: 1415703, member: 527609"] If you're an optimist about Lovie, and I am, there is absolutely no reason to think a team as loaded with handpicked players and experience as next year's will be, facing as weak a schedule as they will, won't be a bowl team easily. He might not get fired if they're 4-8 next year, but it's pretty much done at that point. One imagines us hobbling to 6-6 in 2020 against an easier-still schedule, and then graduating the core of our team and tumbling into the abyss again. But I see it the other way around. I think we will improve, snag some wins down the stretch, and then have a huge offseason and be a program barely recognizable from the football we've watched so far in the beginning of next season.
