That's even if we don't win another game.
SOme of you people on here crying for changes don't realize how successful we are.
Any of us would have take this record 20+ years out of the 30 last years!!

7-0 against bad teams and 0-3 against good teams is not a successful season.That's even if we don't win another game.

Then we shouldn't have fired Mason. We'd have had a bunch more of these seasons and some here would be ecstatic.
I believe Claeys said he expected a 9-10 win season and a shot at the B1G Ten Championship.
They're all still doable.
They still haven't played a bad game this year, should have beat Penn State, played tough with Iowa whose win over Michigan should give you an idea of how good they can be, losing to Nebraska after knocking at their doorstep to tie the game late. Even in the Mason years there weren't many years as good as this one.
Ding Ding Ding Ding......
This team is firmly in the Mason year's right now. Teams have to take us seriously and we are a threat to pull the upset most weeks however we also just aren't quite good enough to ever actually get over the hump into legit contender status. Give Mason this schedule and I have zero doubt that we would be at worst 7-3 and possibly 8-2.
If that is ok for fans and administration then Claeys should get an extension because this is probably about where his ceiling is a coach and recruiter. We will be solid, not a bottom feeder but also not really a contender either. Good enough to compete with most teams each week but not good enough to really be a serious threat to win the division/BIG each year.
Enough with the Claeys first season crap. He came with Kill and was hired into the head coach position to maintain continuity. He chose to make the coaching changes that occurred so if things aren't going smoothly that is on him. If he was an outside coach that had come into the program this year then folks would likely give him some slack. Claeys has been here all along and things should be going much better than they are.You know all this about Clayes and the new staff after one season? What lottery numbers should I play on a Tuesday?

So he is not a first year HC?

Not in the same situation as 99% of true first year HC.
He has been at the U for about 5 years already.
He coached for many years with some of the same staff under him now.
As a result he knows the kids, knows the coaches, knows the routine, knows the conference etc.
He had nearly half a season as HC last year and several games before that.
Have you seen a drastic shift in anything since Claeys took over from Kill? He fired a couple of coaches but beyond that it is basically just an extension of the Jerry Kill era. And yeah my feeling on Kill was his ceiling was in Mason territory and I feel the same for Claeys. I have seen nothing from Claeys that makes me think he is going to be able to outdo the head coach he worked for, for 17 years. Maybe I will be proven wrong but I just don't see it.
So he is not a first year HC?

Yes he is, and it shows. He's losing all the ground Kill gained. He's lost every trophy game opportunity. Kill beat IA twice, NE twice, MI, PSU, and NW. It's called going backwards.

You're frustrated. I get it. So am I. But saying Claeys isn't a first year head coach, especially with the staff moves he made, and could only make, prior to this year is just moronic. The reason why a head coach gets the big money and are constantly on the hot seat is because they have control over all the shots. That's what distinguishes them from a coordinator. Or, in the business world, a CEO from a VP. This is the first full year he's had that. Thus, first year head coach. Deal with it.
Stop! You're making too much sense.

This is true. But some people are acting like this is his 5th season too and that just isn't the case. He made changes, it's not like this is Kill's program continued either. He should have a shorter leash than other first time head coaches, but he also shouldn't be treated like a guy that is in year 5 either.
