if Fitz did leave...

Not sure why you are saying my posts are "spewing". I somehow manage to post without CAPITALIZING words... I would argue Fitz has improved the program by maintaining our winning percentage in the Big Ten to the same as Walker and GB and greatly improving the out of conference winning percentage resulting in a higher overall winning percentage. If your job is to win games seems like he has improved over the coaches before him. Please see the percentages below instead of a line of numbers.
Overall Conf Non Conf
GB 45.8% 42.1% 53.8%
RW 44.6% 42.9% 48.1%
PF 54.7% 42.5% 75.6%


Thank heaven for 10 FCS patsies.
 
Start thinking before spewing the first thing that goes through your mind.

Coaches are supposed to build upon the achievements of their predecessors and reach heights that are not only comparable but at least marginally higher...PF has been unable to do so.

PF took over immediately after a decade in which the program won not one, not 2, but THREE B1G crowns by two different coaches. In 9 completed seasons, he hasn't even won a lowly division.

In the three seasons IMMEDIATELY preceding his tenure, the program won 4-5-5 B1G games. In 9 tries, PF has never exceeded this sequence even by ONE game. In fact, he has NEVER had a run of 14 B1G victories over 3 consecutive season...NEVER. Worse, he has won only 1-3 B1G games in 2/3 of his seasons.

Perhaps this will be the season when he FINALLY wins a B1G crown ( as both of his predecessors did), after 9 unsuccessful attempts. Considering this teams offensive limitations, with a D that is solid but by no means capable of single-handedly beat the conference top teams, more than likely for TEN years in a row, PF will fail to win a B1G crown, and quite likely a division. In that case, I hope we will all agree that 10 years of mediocrity is enough, and try someone else.

Feli, there is a major flaw in your assumption. How many coaches have jobs because the predecessor was fired. How many college coaches live to willingly leave their posts and retire? What achievements were left by Tim Beckman?
