re: Fire Noel Mazzone

I had no idea we were going to be playing this many true freshmen. Our attrition at WR had to be terrible for us to end up playing this many freshmen. I did not look it up but I thought we took multiple WR's every year since Sumlin started.

Looks like the same situation with O-linemen. We are playing Prater, McCoy, and McCollum from Turner's first year. Sutherland, Lanfear, and Martin are holdovers from the last O-line coach. All of the depth substitutions seem to be true Fish. This is less surprising because the first O-line coach was such a disaster.

The mishandling of the QB position is well documented and not a surprise. It was too bad to see Starkel go down but we were going to have growing pains with Starkel or Mond either way.

I assume that Sumlin's narrative for the year will be he has a very strong staff in place across the board now and just needs time to bring the players from the last 2 classes along and that he is recruiting well.
