Doesn't matter though. He's gone and a martyr to the "McGee is a bad coach" cause.

I really don't think there are many people who believe McGee is a bad coach. I believe there are a lot of people who think the timing with the JW thing was way wrong. He's the coach, it's his job to run the program his way. We're fans, it's our job to support the team. If we want to question a move, we have every right to do so.

There is an undercurrent among certain fans that seem eager to jump on the fire McGee bandwagon. They are not calling for it yet, but they are questioning his every move and not giving him any slack.

That could be, why I don't have that privilege seeing that I went all in and bought in? Its not like it matters just one voice. I don't think he's a bad coach just yet, just have questions about personnel/ defense it all goes together.

It is a function of the widely held belief that only coaching failure can explain team losses. That a deficit of infrastructure (FACILITIES) might be a bigger problem in both recruitment and training of players means money is the problem, and they don't want to deal with anything that suggests a financial answer. Those kind of answers are expensive and long term in their effectiveness. These fans want to go from "Zero to 60" in one year, or at most 2. If they got an OCS next year, they would expect a conference championship (or maybe even a NC) to immediately follow.

If these "fans" had their way, the FBHC's doorway would have a revolving door and a new one hired every other year until they found a "winner".
