Thinking about that, however, probably gives Brookhart MORE job security, not less. Think about it: What are the chances of fielding a winning team in 2009 if you are starting over with a new coaching staff that season? If a move was going to be made it would have to be now not next year. I agree that the new stadium needs to be filled regularly in its first few seasons.

Two consecutive awful seasons following the momentum of Frye's drafting and then a bowl appearance = BELOW AVERAGE PROGRESS, at best. You said it, the only way for the stands to be full is for there to be a winning team, a MAC contender, on the field. Can that be accomplished with Brookhart? The players we saw this year were his recruits, and they were lucky to be 4-8. Now we've lost our WR threat and still have no idea if there is a D-1 QB on this bloated roster. Who's fault is that? Not mine. My friend, if the program is moving in the right direction, the on-field results are sorely lacking.
