While some of the things you say are true, at the end of day this team has improved. That is what matters. Hell even if we end up 4-8 (we won’t) this year, the team is still better than last year despite the record being the same.
The penalties are the main issue. Substitution and formation ones fall on the coach. But the unsportsmanlike and false starts and such, hey the players know better, I assure you.
Being a risk taker is a double edge sword. If it works, you’re a genius. If it doesn’t, you’re dumb. The only onside kick I have a problem with is the Bama one. That was a poor choice and desperation. But then again what did you have to lose I suppose? The Auburn and Florida ones were great calls and the players should of easily recovered them.
All in all, while these coaches are learning on the job, I see the one critical thing they’re doing right. Player development. There’s no denying it. And as far as recruiting go, we will likely land a top 10 class. Probably right at 10 or 9. And that still might only be 5th In the SEC. That’s just life in this conference.
