re: Enos

Thanks Rev.

A lot of this comes from a sermon I remembered from a preacher of mine (wish I remembered all the other sermons, too). He was talking about politics but the gist of it was that when people are dissatisfied they look forward to change in hopes that things will get better. So with a new politician coming into office there’s always high hopes and usually a honeymoon along with rose petal parades and all sorts of lovely things. People feel really good about it and everyone wants to experience that feeling. And then as time goes on and reality sets in all come to realize as the Talking Heads sang about that it is “the same as it ever was”. This is where you hear rinse and repeat so often.

How to fix the program is far beyond me but I’m certainly not convinced that staff changes, including a change at head coach, will fix the program. The situation is much more complex than that. We had some good seasons in football in my lifetime and it was great to experience that but I don’t know that we will get to that place again. Basketball and baseball are a completely different story (thankfully there’s hope there backed up by recent really good seasons, results, and landing top notch talent).

It’s not that I’m against change but change for change’s sake or change to produce a certain set of optics aren’t going to get you where you need to go.
