i have been melting since the day Mr. Wizard was hired because i knew that it would deteriorate to where it is now. He is not well thought of in the state of Arkansas for a reason, and he had no background in college football....disaster in the making and all it took was time for this to show. gerry faust part 2

This is going to be twice now that we make a hire that conjures mixed reactions from fans. In both cases, it appeared JJ would be able to say 'I told you so' (after Chizik's NC, and Gus's 2013 turnaround). But it didn't take long for either coach to show their true colors.

A coaches career can be like a football game where the beginning (first quarter) is all emotion. This is when even mediocre teams can hang with the best. With Gus, we've moved beyond the first quarter per say. We're now into the meat of the game with him. Everything has calmed down and we're seeing how he is as a coach in the second and third quarters, and unfortunately it's rearing its ugly head. Teams begin to pull away at this point and fundamental flaws and differences become apparent. The fourth quarter is all about emotion as well. If the game is neck and neck going into the fourth, anything can happen. If it's a blowout, you become subservient and just look forward to it all being over.
