In response to SomeDartmouthStudent
Judging by the message board's reaction/response the Green's losing to Maine at home, then Hartford in the closing possessions, and being down 0-9 with no foreseeable winnable games is the tipping point. Coach McLaughlin really needed to win that home game.
I feel bad for the coach but way worse for the players. Coaching is a tough job...that's why most of us do it from the couch. But sport is a pure performance driven endeavor. You win or you lose. If this season continues on the current trajectory not making a change is a commitment to failure. Are we telling the existing players that the incoming class is the group to turn the tide, when the tide was turning before this year??? I hope they can turn it around, but if they don't Dartmouth can't compound the situation by extending another year. If they do go for naught on the season and bring the coach back then expect folks to bail. That would not be a good look.
If we were running a relay race Sheehy has passed the baton to a guy who is running the wrong way. It's unlikely that you can then turnaround and make up ground.
