While I agree the thread is premature and DC has 1 year left to right the ship, and that we absolutely could make a run in Richmond, I disagree with your notion that the people complaining are "fair weather" fans.DC_Rams wrote: ↑3 years ago Why is this even a thread? He’s still the coach. He will be here next year, and the same fickle, fair weather individuals will be singing his praises if he somehow turns things around with both twins available, and possibly Shepard (without Fatts). The verdict is still out, and you all would be foolish to believe he is getting fired after Year 3. The potential is still there, everyone has work to do.
Are Jets fans fair weather for rooting to lose and get the #1 pick?
95% of the people on this board complaining are die hard fans who have been through more emotional wringers than most could understand. It's because they want what's best for the team, program and university.
If you think someone can't get it done, and get this team to the NCAA - like Baron for example - rooting for meaningless wins only furthers the inevitable and puts you further away from your goal.
Of course fans will be happy if we actually win a meaningful game (or 4) and get the the tournament. That's all anyone on this board wants. A lot of people have cause for concern and doubt that DC will be the guy to get it done. Rooting for a quick exit makes a coaching change move closer to a reality. Being strung along with a win or two that doesn't get you into the dance just hurts the prospects for change and puts the program in a precarious, Baron-like situation, where you're not competitive but you're "close" - which is disastrous over the long term.
No one posting and complaining on this board is fair weather. They're here win or lose. And if they're complaining and bitching it's because they're emotionally invested in the team, because they're fans, and want to see the team do better. Not just root for their favorite coach or person.
