Wasn't pretty, but a W is a W
This was painful in every way, except the final result.
I’m telling ya… Albin is gonna stumble into another 10 win season and land a damn lifetime contract.
Guessing the person that says Albin is "gonna stumble into a lifetime contract" doesn't care much for the success Coach Albin and Coach Solich have brought to Ohio University. Do you want to go back in time to the days of 8 or 9 wins in five years?
I think that person respects the fact that Frank raised our expectations so that we don't assume that we are the doormat of the league anymore. The field is named after him because he made the team one of the top conference programs.
We have a senior-loaded team with a QB coming off a player of the year season. It's not unreasonable to have had very high expectations for this year.
No, it is not unreasonable to have high expectations. However, sometimes these expectations don't work out. The current Heisman trophy winner Caleb Williams and USC are just one example.
And they have had firings.
I don't really get this. Were there really bigger than usual expectations this year?
If you look at the game-by-game predictions thread, the average number of regular season wins was 8.6. We're 7-3, with two games to play.
Even your predictions included two league losses. In fact, right now the team's record is better than you predicted it would be at this point.

You thought they'd make the MACC with two losses in conference, and it seems like that's not going to be good enough. Is that a reason to fire someone?
