No, I am not giving the HC a pass. But I am objecting to the invalid caterwauling of so many fans who talk like a bunch of impaired alcoholics. Back to the HC. You are right that he is responsible. I just think too much of the criticism misses the barn. Bottom line is that the players had far too many fails. I am sick of seeing it, but I am not able to ignore the very good play, either. It is a matter of ratio. Maybe Butch will go Saban and beat on all concerned for every little error, but I doubt it. I don't even like Saban. Question is, what should Butch do? Listen to the drunk fans? No.
