Now its were beating scrubs and not uva auburn north texas army. Cmon, 6 and 6 this year would be a huge accomplishment no matter who the 6 wins are.
Now in 2 or 3 years yeah i would expect more.
And i thought i was a gill hater. I must be reasonable ha
Btw it wouldnt surprise me if we revert back and wet the bed and only win the 2 remaining fcs games which would put me right on the fire gill track again with the past results.
Let me back up. Six wins this year is a great result for this year. There's absolutely no denying that. I don't want anyone to think that I don't think that is a remarkable accomplishment for the season.
Where I did a bad job communicating was the context of my argument. I was looking towards the next 2-4 years. Here's my thought process:
If Gill is signed through 2019, then we are at a point this offseason where we have to determine if 6-6 this year is worth investing in this staff through 2022.
Beating 4-8 teams and playing bad against the good teams doesn't give me that confidence. If we can beat those bad teams and actually look good against Troy and UVA (even if we lose by 20+) then that will be progress and make me consider things could be different moving forward. If all we do is continue to beat on bad teams and then look inept against good ones, then I definitely think a change is still needed, regardless of us winning six games this year.
