I don't often link to Ndnation, because one usually finds more intellectual coherence in a gerbil. Not true in this case though. Money quote:
"As you know, the last three coaches here failed and were, in effect, fired. At one time we were the top brand in college athletics. Now, we are rapidly becoming a punch line. We still make lots of money off of our name but we know that the product is defective and that we are just milking a few more years from an ever-decreasing asset doomed to extinction unless we change things. We know that the revenue stream we count on from this program is on the brink of being permanently compromised. We also know that the historical identity and spirit of the institution will be compromised if the football program collapses. The failure of this program will have long-term and widespread impacts on the entire University and everything it does.
As fiduciaries of the University, we know that this situation is dire and that we are very close to permanent and irretrievable damage to the brand. Mistakes have been made by all of us: the administration, the Board, the priests, the athletic department. They have been made for over a decade. The bottom line is that we cannot afford another whiff. It might be too late already."
Regardless of whether you want Weis's head on a South Dining Hall plate, read the whole thing. You will be smarter, and girls* will be more attracted to you.
*Guys, in the case of Bethany and Irish1L.
