Excellent post!
We all see how shabby it looks for the Barners to be spouting such venom about Coach Willis. And
no one on this site wrote any cross words when CLT left...
Here's a radical thought... Given that we're
going to have coaches leave, why not simply (a) mentally prepare ourselves for the inevitable; and (b) when it happens, wish them well in their new jobs and have fun speculating on who their replacements will be. Fan vitriol directed at coaches who are moving elsewhere won't change the facts-on-the-ground. But it sure can make the fan base look bad. Vol fans did it when Trooper Taylor left 'em. When CLT left, some folks... er.. never mind. And Auburn fans are demonstrating over-the-top bad behavior re Coach Willis.
As someone noted on this thread, would a coach really want to jump into the Auburn tank, given the demonstrated fan reaction when they inevitably leave?
When the next coach leaves Bama, I'm hoping we can wish him (or her) well and show that we're big enough to take it in stride.
End of rant.
