Imagine if we didnt get Davis. Im tired of people defending BW. Is he really getting it done on or off the field? Do we really need to hold on to him until we have a 2-10 season.

I think you do. The guy has been awesome for ODU by all accounts so far. He built the program, he raised it to one of the best in FCS and was the most successful startup ever. He transitioned us to FBS and got ODU to its first bowl win. Those are all very impressive things. I understand that with the recruiting woes, tough scheduling and lack of stadium, its not too hard to see what might be coming down the pike. But BW has earned the right to succeed or fail by his success on the field, not what might be. He's only had 2 losing seasons ever, and they were 5 win seasons. If we tank this coming season then I think its appropriate to talk about his seat being hot. Personally, I think he gets at least two more seasons to get us back to a bowl game.

And FWIW, I saw 120th and 11th in CUSA yesterday. Did that change?
