So, if I am reading this correctly, some of our fanbase think we should fire a coach who will be in the HOF one day, has taken us to the NCAA Tournament the last 5 times it was held, takes us to the sweet 16 roughly 25% of the time, has a national championship, and is a consensus top 10 coach?

I have long defended this fanbase as better than any other. I will now have to go and apologize to my sip and aggie friends. We have just as many idiots as they do. Some of the comments are absolutely ludicrous.

If you honestly don't want Drew coaching our team then you have absolutely no clue about Baylor and its history, and have little knowledge of how good programs operate. We gave Drew an opportunity when he was young. We allowed him to learn without a whole lot of pressure, and now some of you want to allow another school to reap the benefits. Drew would be unemployed for less than 5 minutes if we let him go. Drew's leash runs out at immoral or felony acts at this point. 10 years from now if we have less than 2 Big 12 titles, 9 tournament appearances, less than 3 sweet 16's and no championships, then maybe we can shorten that leash to have some sort of performance requirement.

There are a couple on here.

I understand frustration in a one-and-done tournament, but this is why message board warriors don't run athletic programs.

In fairness, though, a lot of college athletic programs are run by absolute morons.

I saw him express frustration with early exits. I didn't see him exactly say he wants him fired.

Unsurprising that people are frustrated with that game, and that some goobers would overstate the frustration after a few early exits.

At the same time, histrionics re: people calling for Drew's head are also over the top here. I don't see that really happening.

---

There's a difference between expressing frustrations with early exits and titling a post "how long is Drew's leash?"

The title implies the thought of "how soon can we talk about making a change at head coach because I'd like to talk about it right now, but I'll phrase it in a way to gauge if other people agree with me."

Otherwise you'd title a thread "I'm getting frustrated with first weekend exits."

Saying "how long is his leash" is not the same thing as saying "he should be fired." You're spinning.

---

Is there a difference between saying "how long is his leash" and "how hot is his seat?" What would the difference be?

Hot seat metaphor makes a lot more sense than leash, but neither one is the same thing as saying I want him fired.

I would say in Drew's case, it is not hot seat or leash. It is more about his legacy than his job security. Losing too many entry level rounds will tarnish his reputation or his ability to be a diva (don't mean in a negative, but ability to do what he wants, how he wants), but I can't see Baylor getting rid of him, EVER.

Winning a national championship gets you an infinite leash at Baylor. Look at Dave Aranda. One good season out of four, and we're still keeping him even though everyone and their dog knows that he's toast. Drew is an upbeat, positive guy that fits the "Baylor vibe" or whatever you wanna call it. He is a good marketing tool for Baylor, and that's good for donations. Private schools need donations. Ergo, he ain't going anywhere anytime soon

not advocating that he get fired, because he would be very difficult to replace.
