Too long to read - again. 

I don’t understand how this is the one area in life where people pretend you go backwards in order to go forward and typical process improvement is not possible. If you fix actual issues culture will improve as well as winning but if you just say abstract things like I’m changing culture nothing will actually happen.

If those fans are demanding with their wallets than it would be far less impacting than even that, ultimately fans do not determine much of what happens but sometime their dollars do.

At least this was short enough to read. See, you can do it. Don't totally agree but at least I read your argument.

You've been railing against him since the middle of  year 2 ..... I'm like an elephant ... I don't forget .... even if you do change your name

When we lost 7 of our last 9 conference games in Year 2 I railed on his half court offensive scheme late in games, but didn't want him fired. 2 years later and its just as big of an issue as it was then.

Fix the half court offense late in games and he should stick around. I just think he is too stubborn to change.

You would think with going the extra mile at least you would agree with me but it is almost as if effort and niceties do not actually matter and ultimately things only come down to what you end up producing. What if I take three years to refine my argument and get my words into place? Do you think that would make a difference?

Of all the coaches we have ever had I think CWT is the only one I have ever seen fundamentally change a philosophy, he is a unicorn in that regard and for that reason should be studied in graduate school coaching courses. Adapting can lead to lucrative pay days so I am not quite sure why so many coaches like to stick to their guns as they follow their inevitable path towards unemployment.

When Harlan drew up that new offense on a napkin and gave it to him, he was forced to change .............

I don’t care what the semantics are about what drove change all that I care about is that change occurred. CWT came in determined to follow his Harbaugh path into West Coast into turning us into the Stanford of the East. He continued to beat that drum following year two and then he has a change of heart. I know you think it was a giant rope a dope but I don’t understand how that creates any benefit or discounts his actual words and actions leading up to it.
