It's disappointing to read thru some of this and see people pointing to 9-3 and asking would we take that. Record WITHOUT context
Texas A&M and South Carolina shouldnot have been losses
Period.
Alabama is the only "Loss" that is some what acceptable even tho you still can't convince me they are THAT much better than us even down the personnel we were down.
9-3 with losses to teams who out manned us , I can deal with
There is not a team on our schedule other than Bama with equal talent
That's the reality.
There's something missing with our teams, if it's not talent, then what?
Should Butch be fired as of today, probably not.
If he doesn't make any changes to his staff I will have many worries about next season. MANY!
If he decides to take a lateral move and leave, I wouldn't be writhing around in pain. We'll be fine. We have resources and a lot in the pantry and cupboard to move forward.
I am very concerned that he doesn't know how to handle a team and especially a team with expectations.
It's a lot easier to win 7 games when you're coming off the Dooley years.
It's almost criminal how little Alvin Kamara was used before Hurd went out. Going back to last year, you could see he absolutely changes the game.
Just ask yourself how many great coaches (harbaugh, Shaw, Meyer, Satan , Jimbo, et al...) would have had a talent like that and not maximized their potential . All of those guys would have had Kamara with around 20 plus touches, lining up all over, taking advantage of match ups
Our league is a Line of scrimmage and a match up game, how many times can you say we out matched our opposing coach with situational football (especially on offense)
When the talent is about even, when and where do we create wins for our special players?
I totally rambled on and typed way too much. :hi:
