I can't disagree with the previous two comments. I'm even sympathetic to them. Bobby is a very likable person and he was the right guy at the right time for ODU's start-up. However, sometimes I think we fans put too much into the "all he has done for us" bucket.

Bobby helped launch ODU football and he did it extremely well. For that, I will always be grateful. ODU also greatly benefited Bobby and his career. We gave him his first head coaching opportunity at the FCS level and helped him grow that into an FBS coaching gig. He will always have that on his resume and I hope he is as proud of it as we are of him.

I think the time has come either this year or next, barring a significant improvement, to part ways. We can't continue to blame coordinators and recruiting without looking at the captain of the ship. He's the one responsible for the program and staffing, so ultimately, the blame lies at his feet.
