Because you "know" something, or a deduction based on the continued administrative silence on the issue?

... for instance a major holiday with everyone gone from campus. I suspect everything will be crystal clear in the coming week. For the record, Coach Gill is still out making community appearances in Lynchburg this week. I love this man's heart.

I know a lot of y'all want Gill gone and I respect your thoughts. I see the average seasons we have had in a row since the playoffs back in 2014. But play this out with me.

What if, Gill in 2018 goes 6-6 and then in 2019 goes 7-5 with a bowl bid. His record for those two years would be 13-11. His record in 2016 and 2017 was only 12-10. From a record standpoint it would be the same, two games over .500. Now, I KNOW the outcome of each season from a fan's view would be WAY different. "We went 6-6 our first season in FBS, wow! Then in 2019, WHAT WE WENT 7-5 AND THEN WENT TO A BOWL!!!!"

So, IF this scenario played itself out. The question I have is. . . "Would you still want Gill gone?"

A combination of 9 total wins over the next 3 seasons is what I'm thinking regardless of the driver of the bus.

If we get the right guy in there, he could make a significant difference. However, I am pretty much in agreement with your thoughts/projections. It is going to take a major motivator and excellent coach to turn this thing around.

I'm not sure who would want the job as it's possible we will be the Toccoa Falls of FBS for the first couple years.

And the offensive play calling
And the offensive line
Offensive and defensive adjustments
Game planning
Player motivation
Excitement around the program
HC with a dynamic personality
Depth at every position

That is pretty close to most of it.

And a lot of programs have achieved at least some on that list. Especially after having the same HC for 6 years. We are still deficient. "Come on man"

OK, whatever you say. 8) If we go bowling under TG, it will be at the Brunswick Lanes Bowl. Just so I can understand, what is he going to do different in the next couple of years, he hasn't done in his first six? And what gives you that confidence? TIA

He's switching to Geico to save 15% or more on car insurance. :roll:
