Not disagreeing with that assessment, but once again... the cries of "this wasn't Scott's fault", it's just the ol luck of the draw-type articles are stale.
I'm talking about the big picture. How did we get this point with our QB room? Are they reneging on promises made to kids? What's our issue with the FLA kids? Why are we at our youngest on offense going into year 4? Why are we slow playing local recruits, etc? Is Scott too buddy buddy with his players? That's what I'm talking about. Those questions. Local media has gone soft, I suspect in fear that Frost and Moos shuts them out.
As most know, I've been a critic of Frost and coach V, I've been a critic of roster management as well. As far as LM goes, he was given a fair shot to win the job and didn't. He had two games and didn't play well, so in my mind he can't say I didn't get a fair shot. I don't want to see him go, but he must think he can be a good D1 P5 QB. that's possible, but probably not probable. If he goes somewhere else and does very well, it will be real troubling. I still think the biggest mistake with AM was that he was injured when he came in and has never got completely healthy. I'm not sure that's totally our fault. Tenn wanted him badly as well, so maybe that part is bad luck? Yes he's also made some bad decisions, but I don't think his shoulder ever got right. I hope that gets figured out.
I've been told by a pretty reliable source that 2 of the FLA kids were bad eggs and drug the other three with them and they were a cancer.
I still think we should be better than 12-20. I actually have a bigger problem with how special teams are run and that there were no coaching changes except for Rutledge. Yes we've had "some" bad luck, but you also make your own luck. You are right in that the local press has been very gentle. I don't know the question to the slow play other than the coaching staff has had some disorganization and communication issues.
Let's hope they figure it out soon, win 6 games next year and then build from there. I'm not saying they will, but I'm pulling for that result. GBR!!
