Not time to get rid of him.
For a couple of reasons. The financials, not only cost of his buyout and the staff but that high price tag is even higher this year with revenues gashed from covid. Speaking of covid, that gives him a bit of a pass. Not a total pass but some leeway. And while yes covid has been nationwide, it has not affected every conference or program the same.
Lastly because I think he's an old school football guy who's figuring out how to be a head coach. Butch was an egomaniac. He wanted to come across as a football guy but he was more concerned with optics than doing what was necessary in recruiting and coaching. This was told to me by people from Cincinnati when he was there. CJP is a guy who has a ton of football knowledge. That's not a guarantee he's a great head football coach, but I'm willing to give him more time.
We can't keep cycling through these coaches. If this continues next season, then it is absolutely time to have the conversation. I'm not there yet.
UT is not a top 10 job. It's still a good job, but not a top 10 job. I agree wholly with the issues in the administration. I hope Fulmer will make a good AD. The ones we've had in that job recently have been horrible as well as other high up staff like chancellor.
