Hey OutsiderFan, you asked in a different thread, but getting to read thoughtful and insightful analysis like this from msqueri is one of the things I feel good about. Does that count?
Matt, thanks so much for making me feel like the 3.5 hours I spent watching the team last night wasn't a complete waste of time. I am curious about this one though:

I can't help but wonder if a disastrous season truly would result in any changes. As bad as the start of this season feels coming off the second 2/3rds of last season, we are not yet in Walt Harris territory. I also don't get the sense Muir has the same passion for (or alignment from the administration on) football results that Bowlsby did.
It’s too early to say we’re not in Walt Harris territory. Certainly the length between major college football wins is as bad as Harris. Let’s see how bad it is at the end of the year. I think Shaw may be getting tired of this, which in itself could lead to anywhere from big (assistants) to tectonic (retirement) change.
