He won't need it, but BH should have a longer rope than the unknown Stitt. History shows that Hauck will get there.AZGrizFan said:G-BEARS said:George Ferguson said:HAHA, the season is eight months away, and the "give him time to get his team in place" mantra is already starting. During all the mid-season fire Stitt threads, there were TONS of references to JMU and winning in a coaches first year, and all it takes is the right guy. Fans get what they want, Stitt getting fired, and now they're already backing off the whole expectation thingy. Just goes to show it was indeed selfish and personal for some. lol.
The way this actually looks is you backing off YOUR mantra. haha
No, it doesn’t even begin to look like that. He’s 100% correct. Stitt was supposed to magically just start winning conference and national titles in year 2-3 but now Hauck is gonna get a longer rope? Totally counterintuitive with what the haters’ position was all season,..
I'm pretty sure that these powerful boosters who want to win now will not be pleased if Mr. Hauck can not deliver the goods. I believe he will, because Stitt has done a great job of building this team and he also would have experienced increased success over the next couple of years. I'm not saying that Hauck's coaching won't add value - hopefully it will.
