If we lose to Liberty, our coach has to go. No if's and's or but's about it. It would be an embarrassment worthy of sending him packing back to the "Great White North".

Can't agree with this. LU has far more resources and commitment from fans and the university's management then Wilder has. Not to mention LU is opening their new stadium which will only make them all the more eager for the win.

Agreed on all counts.

It is premature to call for BW's head.
In FCS we had a "big time" feel; big loud stadium, and huge fan support.
Consequently, we were able to recruit at the highest tier at the FCS level.

At FBS we are just another G5 with lower end facilities.

Therefore
1. We still have no real idea what BW can do given a level playing field (see what I did there? )
2. Who could we get to replace him anyway, given the state of our facilities and our Kirkland Cox budget constraints?

Until we get the stadium and associated peripheral facilities up to standard, we really have no idea where we are or what BW is capable of.
