Here is what I know. If you win a Big Ten championship, you probably didn't do it by mistake but you set out to do it. KF has won a share of two of those and one of them was an undefeated Big Ten season. Since you cannot do that by accident, you must have set out to do that. If you can win a Big Ten championship, then depending upon the season you can also win the national championship. Setting out to win the Big Ten can probably be considered as setting a corresponding goal of setting out to win the national championship. If you do the first there is a good chance you get a shot at the other. Therefore, you are wrong when you state he has never tried to win a national championship.
I think my logic is sound. Just because you don't like what you see now or how the coach talks and what he says when he is in front of a camera doesn't mean he isn't trying to win every game or win a conference or Big Ten championship. One thing I also know, and I can say this without defending our coach. Just because you are ticked off doesn't mean everything you say is right and everything the coach does is wrong. He is a smart enough football person to have gotten that job and won two Big Ten titles along the way. He knows something. He will probably be in the College Football Hall of Fame someday, too. They don't put coaches in there for being mediocre, whether you like it or not.
None of this means there aren't seasons we all wish were different. But some people can look at the body of work and not just the weekly or even a yearly result. And to put my point of view into perspective, I thought it was time to let Tom Davis go when they did. So don't tell me I am afraid to see something better by getting rid of the current coach. I still believe that was the right move at the time. It was the right move independent of the subsequent hire. You don't make a bad decision/no decision because you are afraid the next hire won't work out.
