This. Trajectory trumps number of wins.What is the one thing we always clamor for? Progression. If you hire a guy like Napier, and he shows progression, he'll be fine. Why are we so pissed at Pruitt? Regression. We've obviously regressed this year. We've looked worse all over the field. Hell, we've had entire conversations of how we could have accepted the losses if Pruitt had just been playing the young guys. But he played the older guys and we regressed. We need a football coach. If Napier can check that box, he'll be okay.
That's why they are or should be trying to get rid of Fulmer tooWhich highlights why Fulmer is a poor AD. You can't guarantee that kind of time. It's foolish to do so when the possibility that he can fall flat on his face, which he has, exists. If you're even going to even float that kind of promise out there, it needs to come with performance conditions, which reasonably, Pruitt would have failed. I can respect a man keeping his word. I can't respect a man giving his word when it's not really his to keep.
