I don't know where you're going with this StuPac.  Are you saying this season hasn't been disappointing to the fanbase?  Or that our performance thus far is reasonable for a rebuilding team with a tough schedule?

I was on the low end of fan projections and will almost certainly be disappointed. (8-4 with a loss to Oregon seemed reasonable in the preseason but an unlikely stretch now.). Heck, I'm worried about Big Game the year after a 50 pt win - Who thought THAT would be a concern going in to this season?

We need to face it - the season thus far has been disappointing to reasonable observers.  It happens when your team's name isn't Alabama.  I trust Shaw feels the same way and is working hard to learn from this experience and fix it.

Never waste a good crisis by denying it exists.

I'm saying that this season so far is something that we should expect to see every now and then just based on probability. I think people are overreacting to a down year where not everything came together and where we didn't get lucky in most of our games. I mean, 2012-type close game luck and this team has two more wins and no one's complaining about anything. I think that we need to actually grapple with that instead of demanding heads on a platter. And I think it's ridiculous for anyone out here to pretend to know what Shaw should do.
