Win the winnable games that he is getting paid to do and we wouldn't have any worries.

Honestly, would anyone be calling for Sam's firing or retirement right now if we had beaten BYU and Mississippi State? Maybe even Auburn?

We *should* easily have 2 more wins right now and be sitting at 6-5, 7-4 if you want to include the Auburn game which was winnable on paper considering the total rebuild there and them losing to New Mexico State by 21.

This is my biggest problem with Sam and this season. There was at the bare minimum 3 more wins on the schedule if the team just played up to their potential instead of completely uninspired, unmotivated, flat football. One would think that IF Sam had the answers to this team playing flat and unmotivated, he would've corrected it after BYU - or at least Mississippi State.

We're about to get our doors blown off at home yet again, this time by Missouri. What is Hunter's reasoning behind seeing a likely change in culture next year? What is his reasoning for believing that Pittman can rally the troops to make a turnaround? I just haven't seen it, and it's year 4 so it's not like a new coach that just has to get his players to buy in.

I'm perplexed by the whole situation.
