Honestly I think it is time to just let someone build this program. Chip looks like he might get things turned around this year, but it is year 4. He would have been gone here after year 3, you could say the same for Mark Stoops at UK, finished 2-10, 5-7, 5-7. He then rattled off 4 winning season in a row including a 10-3 year. For Kentucky, that's really good. I think restarting from scratch every 3 years is starting to take it's toll believe it or not.
I believe we need to give Heupel a longer leash. I think he's actually self aware enough to be adaptable enough to survive in the SEC, which could not really be said about the last 3 coaches. Butch did try to adapt, but also micromanaged everyone to death and lied to players. Pruitt was a jerk to everyone he came in contact with. Dooley is really the only one that anyone could make an argument about a short leash. If he didn't make the worst defensive coordinator hire of all time, 2012 would've looked a whole lot different. To be fair, he was also kind of an idiot, so it was understandable.
