Baylor's performance was hard to stomach this weekend, especially since I work with a guy who used to be UNT's quarterback.
I might should not have gotten my hopes up just yet, considering the mess Kevin Steele left the program in. However, I like hopefully many others, will try to have patience with coach Morriss, considering the following perfomances of other highly respected football coaches:
Grant Teaff
1972 5-6
1973 2-9
1974 8-4 [Cotton Bowl]
Bill Snyder:
1989 1-10
1990 5-6
1991 7-4
1992 5-6
1993 9-2-1 [insight.com bowl]
(I know KState should be criticized for their schedule, but a program was still turned around, and they have won games against big opponents, too.)
Mack Brown at UNC:
1988 1-10
1989 1-10
1990 6-4-1
1991 7-4
1992 8-3 [Peach Bowl]
Dan McCarney
1995 3-8
1996 2-9
1997 1-10
1998 3-8
1999 4-7
2000 9-3 [Insight.com Bowl]
I bet the basketball coach will need some patience this year too.
