re: Gus Malzahn

He whirlybirded his arse into this Sugar Bowl.

I'll be impressed if he doesn't get destroyed by Oklahoma. And that's how Gus gets by; on tempered expectations. But he shouldn't have any excuses this year and unless he gets another Cam Newton to fall in his lap he shouldn't ever be in a better situation. This is his fourth season. He's got all his own guys in every position. But two years in a row he couldn't identify the talent that he had on the team. Last year he pumped up Jeremy Johnson as a damn Heisman contender. For that alone, he's really really really full of shite. This year he didn't realize that Kam Pettway was a baller. Gus gave him no touches against Clemson and he cost them that game. Plus he wasted countless time coming up with these bullshite packages for JF3 and Chandler Cox instead of spending some time developing a legitimate 2nd string QB. It doesn't take a fortune teller to see that a QB the size of Sean White might get at hurt some point running that offense.

And maybe worst of all, Gus got outcoached by Kirby Smart this year.
