You are correct. Losing will be tolerated for a short period of time, but it may have been built into the equation. Contrary to fans, the AD gets a solid evaluation of the program each and every day. Haslam would know exactly what the team atmosphere, recruiting and dynamics were when Stitt was hired. How many years did he factor into the equation? I suspect he is a lot more futuristic than many on this board give him credit for. Team GPA under Stitt = +. Off the field incidence = + Recruiting = +. The sky is not falling. This seasons schedule is easier than past years - including last years. I predict 7 wins minimum. I think Stitt made a mistake keeping Gregorak on board when he was hired. It did not help with the transition. I also think he was slightly hamstrung because none of the QB's were his guy. This year will be very telling and to make predictions on the future of Stitt (either way) is foolhardy. The damn season can't start soon enough!!
