I can entertain plausible scenarios where the recent staff changes aren't indicators of a downward trend in our football program.
That said, Malzahn has the appearance of a guy chasing an inside straight. The wagons appear to be circling and Gus looks to be trying to recapture lightning in a bottle.
The win/loss results of this next year's football team, fair or not, will determine the length of his remaining tenure. I hope he pulls out of the the PR tailspin.
Pretty much sums it up.
I will say this though, I have read numerous post by folks on this site alone whom seamed to be in displeasure with Craig and the development with the WRs. In fact the only real attractions became his recruiting abilities. I like Craig, yes, but where is the development? Want to talk about job titles well Craig certainly had his own, of which didn't seem to fit the bill.
Still though, as wes pointed out, this is the year of real scrutiny for Gus. Kind of a win or go home scenario.
I will say this too, Gus doesn't seem like a dumbass at all. Seems to have a brain that works properly and has done so everywhere he has been as a coach. Sure, not as a HC but that shit doesn't just fly out the window because of a label.
There are a lot of what ifs here but since DC was Co OC, what if Craig was the problem in coordinating with Lashlee and Gus? Just a thought and one will see the proof in the pudding for 2016.
Another thing is I don't think Gus will be gone next year if he adheres to the money that tells him Lashlee is to be gone if Gus wants to stay.
