No, time to run away! We the fans need to control this situation.
Fans are in a catch 22, only way we can make a difference is to not buy tickets, which is not supporting our team. Lose lose I’d say.....sad times.
I believe I’m buying season tickets again next year, but I’m not certain..... first time it’s been like that

Not supporting the team is a good way to get some retread head coach for sure.
Exactly, lose/lose like I said. All we can do as the average fan (not large donors) is purchase tickets or not. Not purchasing hurts our school/team; however, it is the only way the average fan can send a message and that message would have to be sent by a large number of average fans for the administration to even notice.

I feel like we have a retread coach right now. Im like 3 seasons in a row below 500 and a one win season to Norfolk State. This is pretty low.

The average fan has already spoken. Because the stadium is only 1/4 filled,
gameday vendor sales are way down. Surrounding businesses, including restaurants and hotels have lost sales, and even ODU merchandise sales are down.
Season ticket sales are declining. It is only a matter of time before ODAF is negatively impacted as well.
Corporate donations will decline due to a perceived lack of target demographics.
I would not be surprised to see corporate ticket blocks and boxes decline as well, due to declining interest and again due to diminishing target markets.
Indeed the average fan has spoken loud and clear.

Cut your donation in half, with the notation that if things don't improve the other half goes a year from now. Give them a chance to right the ship, but still send a powerful message

Charlotte is proof that a good coach can turn a team around in just a year.

True. Hopefully ODU officials are smart enough to realize this too.

This is easily the worst crowd in ODU history, and it doesn’t even look close. I’m guessing less than 2,000 from TV.

45 minutes of game time left until ODU fans can have hope again.

Well, they better not keep Wilder and go back FCS. I will hate ODU for that!

Hopefully only one half of this garbage left. The last 2 minutes of the half were a microcosm of the whole season. Thanks Bobby. Bye Bobby.
Edit: 15 minutes of play left until this nightmare is over. Countdown to a new coach and hope restored.

Tuesday not Monday
Firing him on Monday costs $900,000. Firing him on Tuesday costs $600,000.

Can't really say anything that hasn't been said already. If there's no news on Tuesday then I'll be pretty disappointed.
