Let me make a prediction in advance of our playoff game. If we win, all of the reactive calls for the heads of our coaching staff will disappear. Even if we are blown-out by NDSU the following game, our fan base will be appeased and talking about RTD next season.
However if we lose, the heads of the coaching staff will front and center again. Basically, the temperature goes up or down based upon our latest weekly performance. The fact that we have not defeated a team with a winning record should not be lost on anyone.
It would be refreshing to look at the big picture of where our program is now, and is heading, compared to other solid Big Sky programs like Sac. St., MSU, Weber, and Idaho. If one looks at it from that perspective, I think it should be obvious that our program is not on the same track as those.
In summary, please think bigger than being one of the last team out of 24 to get into the playoffs. Think about next season now, and the players who will leave versus those returning.
