He was being hyperbolic, but the point was that we largely underachieved on offense, and everyone knows it.

Some are laying too much blame on the players and making short-sighted excuses for Coley.

Everyone knows Coley is one of the best recruiters in the country, and was also a close friend of Kirby. So it’s insulting to Kirby to indirectly suggest he just backstabbed his close pal, made him a patsy, and hurt the school just to save face.

Or, maybe Kirby saw and knows what many people saw and have learned, and he loves this school and wants what’s best for it and the team so much that he was willing to set aside loyalty to a friend and great recruiter and make the hard decision to get rid of what was inferior and caused the underachievement and try to find a solution.

I don’t think Kirby’s an evil prick that would backstab and patsy a guy to save face, so I’m going with the latter. Especially considering it really wasn’t too hard to see Coley’s deficiencies, too.
