Can't ignore the injuries we had...which were devastating. What concerns me more is the drop in recruiting. Last yr 14th and this yr same thing basically. Gone are the days we could say how great of a recruiter Butch is. "5 star hearts"? Omg. And what the hell with Kamara? One of the top rb's in the draft...yet was a friggin back up until Hurd left.
No excuses this year...and no way he can use "lack of talent" as an excuse when HE is the one responsible for the talent that is already here. If we don't have talent...it's Butch's damn fault. 2017 is ALL Butch. I'm rooting for him..but this is all him.
ESPN does this to affect our recruiting no way coach is on the hot seat unless we go 4 and 8 or 5 and 7 and then he might get another year would depend on the AD hire.:thud:
He may have to be the sacrificial lamb for Ole Miss to have any chance of making it through all this with some hope for the immediate future in football.
I know that some say other teams do what they do as a means to justify why this should be okay. But that does not make it right.
