Football goals I agree with 100%. And here is the thing too. If someone tries to hire CDM AFTER he's met those goals, sure. Offer him a bit more money. But do not tie yourself to him like we've done before. Take the buyout and go hire someone else. Do it again. No coach at the G5 level is worth anchoring your school down to.
Basketball....let's say McD wins a champ. If we do extend, no more than a few years. The minimum for any coach should be 20 wins. If you can't hit 20 wins in this conference regularly, you shouldn't be here. There is more to it all of course as it is totally different than football.
As for a fan committee, I'm open to the idea. Depends on structure and how things are presented to the admin. Just saying here are our issues doesn't do any good. There needs to be a professional way to meet with them, and discuss both as a committee and with the admin. The issue is CM only has so much control here. I've seen schools give control to the AD and the President just signs off, like an NFL owner and GM. We don't operate that way especially when you throw in the Board.
If men's tennis, softball, WBB etc can win conference champs, zero reason our bell cows shouldn't either.
