I guess we will see if she's turned it around in the Dance. But there have been just too many games where it looked like coaching was the downfall. I just can't get past that ND collapse.

Fans want to point the finger at everyone but themselves.  Vince Dooley is arguably Uga's best coach ever, although they had a guy in the 40s that was pretty good also, but Dooley just barely cleared 500 for the first dozen years of his career at uga.  He finally won an SECC in 76, a dozen years in, and then struck pay dirt with Herschel in the early 80s.  After the Herschel era and the period immediately following it, during which his recruiting was good, he reverted to about 0.600 win percentage.

Point being, today he would not have lasted past 1966.   Majors would have been fired in 1982.  Fulmer would have been under a lot more pressure in 1994 for losing 4 games following a 3 loss season.  And so forth.

Today's fans are off the hook with expectations.  It's fizzleing ridiculous.  Honestly, some fans are so unhappy with everything and anything that IMO they should find something else to do (and also I am sure complain about that!) 

Having said that, I am not 100% happy with Holly.  It does have to be better.  Hopefully it will.

If I was one of the other 13 SEC coaches I'd back Holly too. I remember Saban saying a couple of times he thought Dooley was doing a real good job at UT. I'm sure he hoped Dooley would be at UT for several years. He lucked out again when we hired Botch.
