Doubt it but if so we will be set for awhile. Everyone seems to forget Chads first year at Marshall. In todays world he would have been crucified.
No one crucified Litton, Green, or Wells their first year. When they are no better and mostly worse their second year, they deserve some heat. Every one of those guys collapsed in their second season. Hell, most people wanted Cato gone early on and wanted the pothead to takeover. Chad had a different coach. So did Byron. They both improved a lot from year 1 to year 2. We haven't had that kind of development on and off the field in a long time. Cato at least had Chad telling him how important it was to study film and how to do it. This was prior to Hamrick running off the '96 team in 2016. Everyone will give the guy that wins the job the benefit of the doubt until he gets past the point where he should know better and doesn't.
