I don't know how any GC fan could believe that with a coaching change, immediate success would be in store for the football program. I'm not sure any true fan believes that at all quite frankly. I do believe a change needs to happen just from things you hear and see on Friday nights. You hear things in a small town believe it or not. Now if all is true or not is a different story but, nonetheless, this isn't the direction a struggling program wants to keep going in.
I've stated before, with the right coach it may still be another 3-4 years before GC is relevant again but I do see the potential for at least more competitiveness fairly quickly. The team, to me, lacks a lot of fundamentals and that falls directly on the HC's shoulders. There has been a drop in talent the last few years which hasn't helped AT ALL but, you still have to tip your cap to the kids that are out there trying there best to win. This program needs a lot of work that doesn't simply begin and end with a new head coach.
