    Vandy might be the champion of that group. We rightly played the most freshmen in the whole country. If you had high expectations, that was on you.

    3-9...4-8...3-4 with no bowl games. Those w-l records look remarkably similar. It looks suspiciously like what around here we call "trust the process." I wonder if Bruin nation said the same thing 2 years in thinking he would get it rolling when his guys were finally on board.

    It does but there’s no normal business where you just lose money as part of the business model.

    ehh. Imo, we had losses last year that had nothing to do with playing a lot of freshmen. I didnt watch us lose against Utah, Kentucky, Arky, and Missouri and thought that

    Agreed. There was mismanagement, but playing true freshmen at safety and new players throughout the OL leaves little room for error.

    Weston and Hill are moved for depth and practice reps. Collins and Gates have an opportunity to earn major minutes in the future. Curious of Gates 40 time.

    Mistakes are usually young guys and we looked young. Not extremely talented either at key positions but a cluster at the same time. I’ll love to see average looking veterans.

    Two #3s on the field: coaches

    10 men on special teams: coaches

    Focusing on conditioning vs strength and getting manhandled by Kentucky: coaches

    Red zone playcalling vs Arky: coaches

    FG unit not being ready leading to a penalty leading to a missed FG vs Arky: coaches

    Taking the foot off the gas vs FSU: coaches

    Defense producing like 6 turnovers entire season including just ONE interception: 100% coaches. Never seen this level of bad play.

    Miguel Mitchell attempting to tackle Mizzou WR on 4th and 18 like he was a fine piece or art to be treated delicately: not a young guy. Scholarship should have been revoked on the spot, if the responsible coach taught him such nonsense then that is an immediate fireable offense on the spot WITH cause for being an incompetent saboteur.


    None of the things above can be attributed to youth. Overwhelming majority fall on coaches.

    The Arkansas, Mizzou, and FSU games were directly lost by coaching/not young players actions.

    Utah and Kentucky could have been closer if not for huge coaching gaffes.

    Only LSU and UGA demonstrated what experienced/superior talent do to inexperienced/inferior talent.

    5/7 losses circle back to coaching.

    Westin?

    I’m surprised they are keeping him around.

    I like the Gates move. Anything to get him on the field.

    I liked Collins where he was.

    Meh, mostly still young players not doing what they are supposed to. Who doesn’t know when they are sup to be on the field or who the other guy is wearing the same number.

    Why have coaches at all if the players can just coach themselves?

    Most of our rivals have on-field special teams coordinators to avoid this nonsense.

    Please look at the numbers and review the tape from the Urban years. Look at how much he emphasized special teams.

    Results: blocked punts and FGs (cock block, Marcus Thomas vs F$U 2005), punt returns for TDs, KO returns for TDs, etc. A lot of games we were +3 and +4 on turnover margin with special teams directly contributing.

    Now look at the stats and review the tape from the last 2 years with a guy who puts special teams in the hands of an off-field analyst.

    Day and night difference. One program competed for championships. The other one can’t finish above 0.500.

    According to Dan the Man, Westin was a 5-star talent with a 3-star ranking. Maybe they're waiting for the 5-star talent guy to finally show up.

    No man, every f*ckup out there is the fault of the coaches. The players aren’t accountable — it’s the coaches’ fault. Always
