Going 9-4 (7-2 Pac-12) last year, I would hope almost any coach would be allowed to endure one sub .500 season anomaly. If it continues halfway into next year, then Duck and cover.
There’s only two coach’s that could get Phil Knight a title: Nick Saban or Urban Meyer. Even with those guys it would take 3 to 4 years to get there. Does Phil have that long?
