It depends on recruiting the first three years and then his record after that. Strong got 3 years because it was clearly a failure - nothing was going to happen to turn that around. Herman got 4 because recruiting had fallen off and everyone hated him. If Sark keeps recruiting well (which won't happen unless he's winning at an acceptable level), he'll get at least 4 years because he's not an asshole.
Mack's record his last few years didn't really reflect how bad the teams were. His last season, all 5 losses were by 19 or more. It was really clear he had to go.
My glass half full post of the day: there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to our defensive substitutions, but that means a lot of guys are getting meaningful snaps when the game is still undecided.
I hope Weigman is fine. That said, him medically retiring from football would be kind of perfect for aggy. They'd be undefeated in every hypothetical matchup for the next four years with four imaginary championships and Heisman trophies. Every year, King/Johnson/[fill in the blank] is going to lead them to glory... and then they actually play. If Weigman doesn't play, the fantasy never has to end.
The thought of Nebraska paying an extra $7.5 million to fire Frost in September instead of October and then having to wait until the end of the year to hire BoB just makes me happy.
Against Tech, guys were in position to make plays and didn't. It seemed every conversion Tech had involved the ball carrier getting hit at or short of the first down marker and then picking up 2 or 3 more yards to extend the drive. The same exact calls with better tackling would have made that a very different game. ISU was much worse - they figured out what the defense was doing and then picked it apart.
