What do you need water for, Sunshine?
Most people, fans and critics alike, had written this season off for RR and TSUN, even before it began, as a rebuilding year. Any result would be accepted and forgivable. It was a foregone conclusion that no matter their win-loss record, RR would be the guy in charge, taking TSUN's football program forward for the foreseeable future.
Reality, though, has a way of sobering up the fans and giving ammo to the critics. TSUN's 2-5 record feels much worse in retrospect than everyone expected. The fact that TSUN is unlikely to play in a Bowl game this year is going to serve as a painful wake-up call for one of the most perennially delusional fan-bases in all of college football. Patience is starting to run out given RR's apparent inability to make incremental improvements and solidify his team. His "the players aren't stepping up" attitude as of the last few weeks is only accelerating his demise and undermining what little support he appears to have.
My feeling is that next year could be his final year at TSUN if this keeps up. With his honeymoon season out of the way, he is going to be facing a do-or-die situation. Even a venerable program like TSUN only has so much time and patience for a continued show of incompetence from a man who had been cast as a reformer and savior.
The question, then, is how much leeway is RR going to be given next year. The fact that he will have to produce is, imo, indisputable. The level of achievement and the extent of his production is what remains to be seen.
How many wins will TSUN need to notch in its 2009 campaign for RR to keep his job?
