Spot on.The disaster scenario is a number under whatever it takes to make the NCAA tournament that gets cited as "impovement" so there is a fourth year that almost certainly won't result in an NCAA tourament and end Ben's tenure. Then we've wasted 2 years when Ben easily could have been fired after this year. For context, Ben needs nine Big Ten wins this year just to tie Todd Lickliter for wins through 3 seasons (when Lickliter was fired). Ben would still have a significantly worse Big Ten winning percentage than Lickliter if he gets to those 9 wins this year as Lickliter accomplished his 15 wins in the era of 18 games meaning Ben will have had 5 more games (MSU cancelled last year) to get his 15 wins.
I hope people can keep in perspective how bad 7-13 is. It's winning 35% of your conference games and going like 5-5 at home and 2-8 on the road. That's not a sign of anything positive in the 3rd year of a coach who has shown nothing to this point. It's just another sign to move on.
We're in a thread debating an over/under B1G win total of 4.5 FFS.
Four point five. Called "a good line" by multiple posters. In year three.
DOUBLING that to 9 should get him fired. He shouldn't be coaching THIS team.
