re: This should be fun

wow. glad to see them keep it classy.

1. You win a bunch of games and we would have kept the coaching staff. If jeff long would have kept those guys there would have been riots after the season.

2.seems like they went with the save the coaches theme, which is very selfish. this is college football where the team represents the university not the coaches.

3. paul, paul, and Taver all thought they might be the next head guy. Taver was a position coach, Haynes hadn't even been a DC through spring practice yet, and paul has now been hired and subsequently had the HC fired twice in a row now.

4. Did the players quit at times throughout the season? absolutely. Tough to find hope when your down by 52. But I saw a team that showed up to the games and tried then seemed to get bogged down by the JLS legendary half time adjustments.

5. How could you possibly say you wanted more time when you were handed a top 10 team and given a chance to prove yourself but wasted it.

6.They should have left this alone.

I talked to Tyler's dad after the Bama game, he said he really wished Tyler wouldn't have said all that stuff about the team quitting in the Bama game. We chatted before the Rutgers game and he said that after the speech, everyone would be looking to Tyler to take over and lead the team, and if he screwed up it would be magnified that much more because he called his teammates out. After a game in which he didn't play, no less.

Then the Rutgers game happened. You could tell Tyler was forcing throws and trying to win the game by himself. It led directly to some bad interceptions.
