A) in fairness, there has been more than one at least questionable hire/fire/extension decision/handling.

B) many of the 'good' things that have happened were suggested here on the Parliament long before they were put into action

There has certainly been some good and I haven't done a SWOT analysis to determine where we fall, but I just want to be clear that I don't believe there is anyone on here favoring firing him solely based on Bloomgren

Understood, but the calls for firing him come after a football loss. At that point people muster their list of reasons, real and made-up, but it's a football loss that sets them off. If football was on track for a bowl this year, this thread wouldn't exist.

That doesn't prove your initial claim. You said football is the only thing Karlgaard's gotten wrong. That (a hyperbolic statement I doubt you even believe yourself) is not at all the same thing as "people only complain about Karlgaard after a football loss" -- all that says is that football weighs more heavily in people's calculus . . . as it should (and that's coming from a nonrevenue athlete alum).

Karlgaard also doesn't have to be a 100% failure, or commit misconduct or something, in order to merit replacement; it's not like he has tenure. If someone else could do it better, that's a sufficient reason and entirely legitimate and rational reason to make a change.
