Oh, you just wrote it that way. Duh, what was I thinking.
Quote: I was not trying to bring up anything other than the fact that because of Brandon's approach it was going to take a few years to build the program up the right way. Seeing your posts over the last few years about Clawson, I've got the impression that you expected him to turn things around on day one. My comments were just that Clawson was doing it the right way and it was going to take time, even though you wanted it to happen right away.
And what exactly have I written to justify that?
I have no problem giving good coaches time. I've been complimentary towards the Texans for keeping Kubiak, and scoffed when Czabe and others suggested that UT should fire Mack Brown prior to 2005.
Clawson has had quite a number of years at BG and still has an overall losing record, and no wins of note except over a 9-4 Troy team and Ohio w/ 14 players out b/c of injury. What exactly is building a program "the right way" if you aren't actually, you know, winning?
Of course you'd actually have to read and remember what I write, and it's much easier to insult me then run away crying:

No Bryan it's what you claim I do b/c you can't get past your groupthink and actually understand someone else's opinion.
Clawson's returning team and current recruits look promising. I don't deny that. But, Clawson has delivered very little in 4 years. It's reasonable to expect something before giving extensions running 5 years into the future.
