As was pointed out elsewhere, some of those sub .500 teams are because we beat them to put them there. Yes the conference may be better next year and we may also be one of those better teams. You want to fire a coach because the conference may be better? You fire a guy that just won the second most games in a schools history and you might as well plan on sucking for a while afterwards because no one is going to touch the place. Need an example, look no further than our football program. How has our football program has done after firing a coach that won 75% of games? And no I am not sure he was the long term answer to replace Tom, but once Frank was let go, the bottom fell out. And at least with that example, there is some positive history to build on. And again, it's not like Doc left Tim a roster full of 4- and 5-star talent that was ready to go.
