I think the success today with the offense pissed me off more than what we saw under Enos. We would probably be 6-3 or 7-2 right now if we had just kept some variation of this offense as opposed to do a complete 180 to Enos’ system. That’s 100% on Pittman.

This. This win is giving me very mixed emotions.

I'm happy we won and even more happy for the players to finally get that monkey off their backs. As tough as this season has been for us as fans, its 10x tougher as a competitive player to keep getting so close and coming up short.

But I'm left with that nagging feeling that all of us (other than hawgfaninnc) are having, which is that we could have at least 3 - if not 4 - more wins right now with even a SLIGHTLY competent offense that we saw today.

We'd probably still have lost to aTm, Bama, and LSU, but even those games were winnable with a slightly better offense than we fielded.

The "what ifs" from this season will be the worst I can remember in a long time. The West is down and we've been in every game even with an anemic offense, I can't help but imagine where we'd be right now with one of our better offenses from the recent past and this defense.

I get what everyone is saying... But I also wonder when you stop thinking about the past mistakes and take a different road, rather than playing "what if" all of the time.

Yes, it took too long to fire enos, yes... he shouldn't have been hired to begin with, yes ... we should have kept Briles, yes... We are now better. But... We won man! We won in Florida.

Florida beat Tenner man! It is hard to win in the Swamp for sure.

I again, have decided to be a glass half full guy. I loved how in the conference today Pittman basically said...Paraphrased.

'We have talent, great players... We have struggled with playcalling, and coaching including me" .

If that admission pisses you off, fine.. .But to me hopefully it is a good lesson and we keep moving forward! WPS!

Should a coach never make an offensive philosophy change?
Should a coach not expect his players be able to adapt?
Should an offensive coordinator not be allowed time to work the kinks out?

Our fans were happy Bryers left and Enos envy was back in style not that long ago. But now it’s Pittman’s fault for not predicting the future correctly
