Sonny should stay (if he wants to)

After a 24-20 loss to San Diego State that seems to basically assure that CSU needs to make a coaching change, many are calling for Sonny Lubick's head.

Though our year-long drought points to this, I just can't say it.

Sonny Lubick built this program up from almost nothing, and it seems like everyone at CSU is blinded by the last four years.

Yes. we have been terrible lately, but Sonny doesn't deserve to be run out of town, which is what too many people want to do.

He is the greatest coach CSU has ever known, and for all he has done at CSU, he can leave whenever he wants.

CSU is full of fickle, bandwagon-jumping fans (for evidence, see Rockies, Colorado) and there is no need to appease them, because one never will.

Ram "fans" have left games in droves twice this year when the game still hung in the balance (Cal and SDSU). You want to place blame on the players and coaches, yet so many of you can't even sit through a three hour game.

Ram "fans" often booed Justin Holland when his arm was our only weapon.

Ram "fans" refuse to look at any history and see how remarkable it is that we even have bowl aspirations every season, especially after how terrible CSU was from 1950-1990.

Ram "fans" can't be bothered to travel to crappy bowls like the Poinsettia.

While the fans have been poor, it isn't like the administration has helped Sonny any.

CSU is 8-0 in Thursday night games (Media Guide, page 12) at home, but thanks to the MTN and the new TV contract, the Rams don't host these anymore.

Forget about the electric crowds for night games, especially those on ESPN, fans will love noon kickoffs and 3:30 starts way more. And who doesn't get pumped for games on the MTN, the invisible network.

Forget about Fum's Song rallying the crowd.

Forget about fans standing in the front row, pounding signs.

Forget about creating any home-field advantage.

Nope, come to sanitized Ram Town and cheer if it suits you, but really we could care less.

As I have said before, Sonny needs to make some important and significant changes to remain coach, but he is our best shot. We can't hire a big name, and why would some young upstart want to come here to suffer in a terrible situation.

If he feels he can't do it, I am sure Sonny will resign, but until the day the he makes that decision, I want no one else besides Sonny leading my Rams.
