What’s Kalens excuse?

I mean when Dubose and Shula sucked(Fran was a good coach IMO) they were at least having to deal with Sanctions after being put on Probation B2B and despite those Sanctions all still had 10 win seasons…..what’s Kalens Excuse?

He is a worse coach than all 3. Honestly probably the worst coach we have ever had other than Ears Whitworth

Having 35+ players leave all at once in my opinion is still worse than sanctions over 5 years. Shula and Franchione were terrible recruiters and staffers and were never gonna succeed long term.

Not excusing Kalen, but a good chunk of our best players are not even juniors yet. Kalen has his QB in the wings, but I still don’t think the team he has now is completely to his liking. Not having your 2nd best o lineman and best d lineman hurts too.

That excuse would hold water if we hadn’t just gotten dominated by an FSU team that went 2-10 last year and had a total roster/staff overhaul.

Auburn did the same thing.


The QB bumped his chest about not being able to stop him but it’s really all Gus. If Gus has a bad day calling plays or is mildly outschemed, Tommy turns into a heavily mediocre QB. Watch his film. It’s in the tape.

“Bitch Tits” Deboer is the worst considering the circumstances.

I would have to agree. Going back to Washington the knock on deboer was that he played to the level of competition. This year will be very very telling. It can either go off the rails to the point he might not make it(very easily I might add) or he can rally the troops and win the big games and save himself another year. I'm not even talking about making playoffs. I mean like a win at Georgia or wins against Tennessee and Auburn. If he loses all three of those he is out regardless
