Chris Ault should absolutely be proud of his coaching accomplishments at the University of Nevada, Reno. He saw success and was eventually rewarded with a spot in the college football hall of fame. I admire Chris Ault for this.
However, these accomplishments came during the late 1970s and 80s at the division 1AA level - they should definitely be admired, but only as stepping stones, leading us into a new era of NEVADA athletics (get it, not the antiquated "University of Nevada, Reno". Its the 21st century ya'll). Anyways, Ault is currently the head coach of the Nevada football team (after, as AD, he fired coach Chris Tormey and named himself head coach) and is in the process of setting the program back more than a decade with his (inexplicable) egotism, prehistoric Div. 1AA recruiting philosophies and an almost diabolical scheduling system that results in built-in .500 record (which certain fans somehow find acceptable).
Just because he had a hand in building Nevada football (and he'll NEVER let us forget this, but thats a different blog entirely), he has not earned the right to drive it into the ground. Chris Ault has got to go.
